Finding love in The Big Easy is a gamble … especially when he’s your new boss. Event planner Samantha Masson had sworn off alpha men after a nasty divorce. The last thing she was looking for was a man with an ego bigger than his bank account. Too bad that was exactly what she found when she spent a wild night in the arms of a masked stranger. Planning a Halloween masquerade gala for the infamous Victor Beaumont made a nice addition to her reputable portfolio. She just hadn’t planned on becoming a notch on his bedpost … or falling for him in the process. But there was more to the man behind the mask … Millionaire Victor Beaumont owned the largest rum distillery in New Orleans. He had power, wealth, and all that came with it, including the crushing weight of responsibility. He would gladly walk away from everything for a chance to be his own man, but tradition wouldn’t allow it … and neither would his pride. As a skilled actor, he had everyone fooled with his arrogance and charming wit. Until he met the infuriatingly talented and beautiful Samantha, who saw right through him. From rendezvous to romance, he couldn’t keep his hands off of her. To keep her, he would have to take his mask off once and for all … Previously titled Mr. Big Ego
The instant Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and international bestseller “While the history books are filled with tales of obsessive visionary geniuses who remade the world in their image with sheer, almost irrational force, I’ve found that history is also made by individuals who fought their egos at every turn, who eschewed the spotlight, and who put their higher goals above their desire for recognition.” —from the prologue Many of us insist the main impediment to a full, successful life is the outside world. In fact, the most common enemy lies within: our ego. Early in our careers, it impedes learning and the cultivation of talent. With success, it can blind us to our faults and sow future problems. In failure, it magnifies each blow and makes recovery more difficult. At every stage, ego holds us back. Ego Is the Enemy draws on a vast array of stories and examples, from literature to philosophy to his­tory. We meet fascinating figures such as George Marshall, Jackie Robinson, Katharine Graham, Bill Belichick, and Eleanor Roosevelt, who all reached the highest levels of power and success by con­quering their own egos. Their strategies and tactics can be ours as well. In an era that glorifies social media, reality TV, and other forms of shameless self-promotion, the battle against ego must be fought on many fronts. Armed with the lessons in this book, as Holiday writes, “you will be less invested in the story you tell about your own specialness, and as a result, you will be liberated to accomplish the world-changing work you’ve set out to achieve.”

I have an embarrassing confession to make. I did it all for the cookie. Literally. Let me explain. All was well in Morningwood … until Hansel showed up at my house, looking like a snack. My wicked witch of a stepmother, Grundle, had cursed him to bake from the inside out until all of his bits turned buttery. From his frosted tips to his bubblegum lips and all the nutty deliciousness in between, one bite of my gingerbread man’s bonbon, and I rode more than a sugar high. I would happily taste his festive jawbreaker anytime of the year. But there was just one problem. This pastry party couldn’t last forever. If I didn’t find a cure for his candy heart and sneak us both out of this place, he’d soon become toast. I didn’t want to pick up his crumbs. I’d already had to pick up his sister’s ashes. Could I escape across Grundle’s fleshy fun bridge with my main gingerbread man, or was I bound to live an evil life, stuck with my witchy mother forever? Home Sweet Home is a dark romantic comedy re-telling of Hansel and Gretel and a prequel novella to the VILF series.
