Divorced from a woman who put career ahead of everything–including their young son–single dad, Josh Kincaid, isn’t about to make that mistake again. His son is his life. But his charming co-worker makes him dream that there might be more.

Nate Kincaid wants to get out of debt and get his family off his back over his non-existent relationship status. The first means his fledgling veterinary practice must be successful. Business before anything else. Always. The second means he needs a serious girlfriend, but after the death of his fiancé, he isn’t ready. No one knows about his nightmares. The ones that chase him into the dark places of grief. Maybe a pretend relationship would solve his second problem so he can concentrate on the first.

Zach Kincaid was definitely not what Ashley Drayton was looking for - one more risk-taking, bad boy to add to the long list of men who have broken her heart - the last one leaving her nearly penniless and homeless. Hoping for a fresh start, Ashely moved halfway across the country to Texas. From here on out players need not apply for the key to her heart. So how in the world had this cocky, confident cowboy charmed his way into her affections?

Until a mysterious witch shows up at the bar with the answers she's been looking for, but is undoing a deal with the Devil really that easy?

Will Charlotte and Ethan escape their pursuers? Can Charlotte survive the heat and deprivation of the journey? Will she accept Ethan's discipline and guidance?

More and more dentists are signing up with dental insurance plans in the hopes that they will help bring in more new patients. The unfortunate part of this strategy is that corporate dental groups are leveraging their size and power in negotiating higher reimbursements. What are we as a group to do? For my practice, the answer to this question led me to discover a nearly unlimited and untapped market of fee-for-service patients who want and value their dental health but have a significant hurdle to coming in to see a private practice doctor.

Growing up in religion, I believed that I was blessed as long as I was doing something productive for God, or I was forgiven as long as I begged and pleaded for forgiveness. The words "free" or "gift" never clicked.

This mixed message left me confused, burnt out, and further away from God.
