Book Description: Mia Nightingale Marcos is more nightmare than nightingale. I’m handed the reins to the family business along with an inexperienced assistant barely out of high school. Not to mention, she’s distractingly beautiful and completely off-limits. I plan to be so unbearable she’ll quit, but she’s tougher than she looks. Now she appears to be hiding something and the deeper I dig, the more invested I become, causing my world to spin. Just when I think I’ve got her figured out, she vanishes, leaving a trail of unanswered questions, sending me on a dangerous pursuit. Jackson Soloman is the boss from hell. But I can handle him. Balancing work by day and poker by night was a breeze until Jackson stepped in. It was easier when he was making my life hell, not trying to play hero. Now, I can’t shake him off, and with the growing attraction between us, I’m not sure I want to. Just when I think I’ve hit the jackpot, I’m forced to fold, leaving everything behind for a chance at salvation. Will Mia and Jackson survive the trials of deceit and danger that lie ahead? In a heart-wrenching climax that tests their love and commitment, every decision could be their last bet.  Meet the Author: Bethany Rosa has been passionate about romance since her teenage years.

Alongside his English wife, Sammy, they are building a co-housing community and navigating the complex adoption of a child from Indonesia. Henrik longs for peace and stability to secure his career. But life takes an unexpected turn when he is offered the chance to renovate hospital kitchens in Saudi Arabia.

Content Rating: G. There isn't any cursing or information inappropriate for children Praise for THE MENTORSHIP EDGE: “There are angels amongst us, and in this day and age of huge challenges, massive evils and injustices left and right, our angels need much more than wings. They must be entrepreneurs who never give up, mentors who pull up generations after them, resilient leaders by example who fix our brokenness and give opportunity to young adults where there was none. None such more impactful, important and impressive than Dr. Heiser. In the end, we can best measure our lives by those we helped. Debbie has saved thousands of lives, enabling them and encouraging them to thrive. I tip my hat. She is my hero!” ―PETER SAMUELSON, Entrepreneur, Philanthropist, Executive, Author, Film Producer “I had the good fortune to be introduced to an amazing lady four years ago who reintroduced me to the importance of mentorship, what mentorship really is, and the many layers involved. I have been truly blessed to have had some of the greatest research hierarchical mentors while learning the craft at NASA, what I did not realize was that my Friends-of-Charlie (FoC) network was a lateral mentor community that would later save my life on orbit during my Space Shuttle Mission STS-114. Dr. Deborah Heiser understands mentorship in all its aspects and realizes its importance in helping us live happy, full, and rewarding lives. Her gift at storytelling and her easy writing style make this knowledge transfer such a joyful experience. Debbie is now a trusted forever FoC.” ―CHARLIE CAMARDA, Astronaut “The Mentorship Edge, written by Deborah Heiser discusses the impact that mentorship has on an individual’s personal and professional growth. The book includes real-world experiences from mentors with diverse backgrounds to help readers understand the multifaceted benefits of mentorship. Deborah Heiser is an educator and researcher who describes various forms of mentorship with remarkable clarity and insight. The Mentorship Edge is not just a book; it’s a blueprint for anyone seeking to harness the power of mentorship to unlock their fullest potential. This book is a must-read for mentors, mentees, educators, and leaders alike.” ―LATONYA KILPATRICK, SVP, Clinical Research, Innovation & Scientific Communications at Colgate-Palmolive “Psychologist Deborah Heiser will wind up persuading you that you were born to mentor―on your terms, your way―and that you’ll get more out of it than you ever dreamed of. It will bring you the kind of deep satisfaction everyone yearns for. I promise.” ―HARA ESTROFF MARANO, Editor at Psychology Today Book Description: Written by Deborah Heiser, an applied developmental psychologist with more than twenty years of experience as a researcher and coach, The Mentorship Edge: Creating Maximum Impact through Lateral and Hierarchical Mentoring explores how we connect to others, feel valued, get pleasure from life, and believe our lives have meaning through forming mentor relationships with others. This book covers both personal and professional mentorship in various fields, including business, research, entrepreneurship, and even art. The traditional hierarchical mentorship we’re all familiar with is simple and often very effective. But there is also lateral mentoring, where you connect with a friend or colleague―someone you can be vulnerable with―whether they work in your department, another department, or outside of your organization entirely. Lateral mentoring solves many common problems with mentorship, like feeling intimidated by those above us at work, while still providing all of the key benefits that mentorship has been proven to give. The goal of this book is to inspire individuals to engage in mentoring naturally, whether hierarchically or laterally, in work settings and in their home life. Heiser shares the insights gained from in-depth research and her extensive experience running The Mentor Project, a mentoring organization with more than 100 mentors at the absolute top of their fields. Whether you have an emotional desire to give back to others to solidify your legacy and ensure that all the boxes you’ve checked over the previous decades mattered, or you’re seeking to connect with more successful individuals as a mentee, The Mentorship Edge is an essential guide to understanding the value of different types of mentorship and taking the first steps towards using this special type of relationship to create a better life for yourself.  Meet the Author: DEBORAH HEISER, PhD, is CEO and Founder of The Mentor Project, a nonprofit that enlists the help of numerous thought leaders and accomplished professionals to offer mentoring services to students. She is The International Association of Top Professionals 2025 Top CEO and Mentor of the Year, and also an applied developmental psychologist, a TEDx speaker, Marshall Goldsmith 100 Coaches, and a Psychology Today contributor. connect with the author: website ~ goodreads Tour Schedule: Coming Soon!

Not only does Lauren do a fantastic job of organizing the tour and communicating with you at every step of the way, but I found the tour hosts that signed up for her tour to be of a higher caliber. The reviews that I got on this tour were thoughtful and well-written and I noticed an uptick in sales during this tour. I also appreciated the fact that many of her tour hosts that wrote reviews posted them on multiple sites, not just on their blog or Instagram account. This is invaluable to an author. I highly recommend Lauren and iReads Book Tours. - Allyson Rice, author of The Key to Circus-Mom Highway
