Every killer claims a soul. Every phantom wants revenge. All contract killer Lachlan Kane wants is a quiet life. But when he botches a job for his boss's biggest client, Lachlan knows he'll never claw his way out of the underworld. At least, not until Lark Montague offers him a deal: use his skills to hunt down a killer and she'll find a way to secure his freedom. The catch? He has to marry her first. And they can't stand each other. Indie singer-songwriter Lark may seem like sunshine and glitter personified but she has her own secrets hiding in the shadows. With her formidable family in a tailspin and her best friend's happiness on the line, she's willing to make a vow to the man she's determined to hate, no matter how tempting the broody assassin might be. As Lachlan and Lark navigate the dark world that binds them together, it becomes impossible to discern their fake marriage from a real one. But it's not just familiar dangers that haunt them. There's another phantom lurking on their doorstep . . . And this one has come for blood.

Paříž, 1917: Špionka, poběhlice, nebo úspěšná návrhářka? Je známá jako múza Christiana Diora, ale Mizza Bricardová byla mnohem víc než to. Dala si slib: být zapamatována podle svých představ. Její slib ji doprovázel na cestě bouřlivými desetiletími a nestálými módními domy, až se nakonec skutečně zrodila legenda. New York, 1970: Návrhářka Astrid Bricardová přijíždí do bohémské čtvrti Chelsea s odhodláním změnit svět módy navždy a vymanit se ze stínu své matky, módní ikony Mizzy Bricardové. A skutečně se jí to podaří – stává se múzou svého milence Hawka Jonese. Když jsou oba pozváni, aby soutěžili na módní události století – Bitvě u Versailles – Astrid obětuje vše, aby ukázala svůj talent. Ale právě když její kariéra začíná stoupat, záhadně zmizí a zanechává za sebou pouze bílé hedvábné šaty. Francouzský venkov, současnost: Blythe Bricardová pochází z generace slavných módních múz, ale to neznamená, že se chce stát jednou z nich. Před lety se obrátila zády k tomuto světu a svým snům. Osud má však jiné plány a Blythe zjistí, že její maminka a babička skrývají více, než kdy tušila. Vychází v překladu Kateřiny Harrison Lipenské.

Naopak, své vysněné já si můžeme cíleně vytvořit a dosáhnout tak svých plánů, snů a cílů. V této knize najdete odpovědi na důležité otázky a podnětná doporučení, například: -Proč jsou populární testy osobnosti psychologicky destruktivní a nedůvěryhodné. -Proč je nebezpečné, když je vaše osobnost založena na minulých úspěších nebo selháních. -Jak získat dostatečné sebevědomí a formulovat smysl svého života. -Jak přerámovat bolestivá traumata. -Jak překonat závislosti a omezující vzorce chování. -Jak si vytvořit síť tzv. „empatických svědků“, kteří vás budou podporovat.

From the bestselling author of Linchpin, Tribes, and The Dip comes an elegant little book that will inspire artists, writers, and entrepreneurs to stretch and commit to putting their best work out into the world. Creative work doesn't come with a guarantee. But there is a pattern to who succeeds and who doesn't. And engaging in the consistent practice of its pursuit is the best way forward. Based on the breakthrough Akimbo workshop pioneered by legendary author Seth Godin, The Practice will help you get unstuck and find the courage to make and share creative work. Godin insists that writer's block is a myth, that consistency is far more important than authenticity, and that experiencing the imposter syndrome is a sign that you're a well-adjusted human. Most of all, he shows you what it takes to turn your passion from a private distraction to a productive contribution, the one you've been seeking to share all along. With this book as your guide, you'll learn to dance with your fear. To take the risks worth taking. And to embrace the empathy required to make work that contributes with authenticity and joy.
