Hard Code My new assignment at work: test out toys. Yup, that kind. But when the testing goes south, and I mean that literally, I’m forced to recruit the help of my new boss, the infamously reclusive and devastatingly sexy Vlad Chortsky, a.k.a. the Impaler. Testing toys with your scorching hot boss is still professional... right? Hard Ware Two dogs, both alike in adorableness, in New York City, where we lay our scene… Okay, maybe that’s a tad dramatic, but who knew a puppy meet-cute could go so horribly wrong? One moment, we're strolling through Central Park, and the next, a mysterious, mouthwateringly hot stranger is demanding I get my Chihuahua tested for STDs. Since he turns out to be the key to getting my newest business venture funded, I guess I’ll do it. It has nothing to do with wanting to see him again. And again. And maybe one more time... Hard Byte In the cerulean, fantasy-inducing eyes of my new Russian boss, Alex Chortsky (a.k.a. the Devil), “project integration” means turning my life’s work into a high-tech "toy." Uh-huh, that kind. When committing corporate sabotage to save my project doesn’t go as planned, my job is on the line, and the only way out is to make a deal with the Devil himself. One fake date in exchange for his help on my project—what could possibly go wrong?

The cover summarizes life in many ways. It was not intentional but obvious when I looked at it later. The tree represents the many things that can interfere with a productive and rewarding life. This tree was once healthy and beautiful but now is in a state of dying. The limbs that once provided strong support are weak and failing. The eagle on a mission displays the majesty of God’s creation. The white surrounding the text of the title represents the protection that surrounds us daily—God, the creator; Jesus Christ, the savior; the Holy Spirit; a loving family; and a few loving friends. We are responsible for surrounding ourselves with these layers of protection by maintaining effective relationships with these great resources. As you go through this book, you will see a couple of points that are emphasized by bold and/or large font. This may be a revelation to some, a reminder to others, or for some, it will be very familiar and be a part of their daily life. One of my most impressive bosses referred to points like these as gold nuggets. That term has stuck with me for over thirty-five years.
