What happens when a star begins to fade? Life isn't going my way lately. Record sales are plummeting and my inspiration is less than zero. At this point, I'd do anything to get my head on straight, even temporarily relocating to a small town. What I didn't count on is the pretty paramedic named Kat next door who takes an instant dislike to me. Nor did I ever think I'd enjoy hanging out with her quirky, twelve-year-old daughter and a dog who doesn't believe the rules apply to him. My new neighbor is strong, sexy, and unlike any woman I've ever met. I should stay away-and focus on reviving my career-but that's become impossible when I can't stop thinking about her. Kat makes me want things I've never dreamed of before. She's tempting me to give up the spotlight, which is crazy since she's not asking me to stay and I know I can't. So why does the thought of walking away make me feel more faded than ever?

***This is the special edition version of this book*** I have this thing about saying 'yes'. I do it frequently, and with abandon. Skydiving on a whim? Yes.A last minute getaway to Ireland? Yes!Agreeing to a marriage of convenience with sexy and arrogant Luca Rossi for two years? Um...yes? It should have been a simple arrangement. Luca needs a wife to clean up his image as the new CEO of Rossi Motors, and I need my mother to stop trying to fix me up on terrible dates. In two years, we'll part amicably, no attachments or hard feelings. Anything that happens between us will be outside the confines of our arrangement.And by anything, I mean falling into Luca's bed. Which I also do frequently and with abandon. But nothing is ever as simple as it seems. It isn't long before I fall for my motorcycle-riding, dirty-talking, sexy-as-sin husband. I know I should be careful. This is just temporary, after all, and Luca and I want completely different futures. The thing is, when I'm with Luca, all I want to do is say, 'yes', no matter how reckless that would be.

My proper southern belle mama might disagree, but I say I was born to be a rebel. From the second I got my hands on a pair of drumsticks, my future was sealed. I never fit in anyway, not with my rocker soul and curves that never take a day off. But what's a drummer without a band? Oh, that's right. A cocktail waitress. That is, until the chance of a lifetime falls into my lap-Unrequited needs a drummer, and I happen to have an 'in' with the band. The only trouble is, Santiago Garza, Unrequited's broody, scowly bassist, doesn't want me in his band, which is kind of funny, considering he was the one who took my heart and stomped all over it five years ago. My career is far more important than hurt feelings though, so Santiago can suck it up and deal. That's what I'm doing, no matter how many times I remember the feel of his lips on mine. I won't fall for him this time. I'm done being anyone's second choice.

I know rock stars. I grew up in the business, and now I make a living managing their tours. I've seen the good, the bad, and the ugly.Lots and lots of ugly.All that ugly is why I've sworn off dating rockers, but sleeping with them, well...I've been known to make the occasional exception.One sultry night in Vegas, Mo Aronson, lead singer of Unrequited, becomes one of those exceptions. We dance, we connect, we...get married.That wasn't in the cards. And the positive pregnancy test a few weeks later really wasn't in the cards.Despite the shock, I think I can handle becoming a mom. What I'm not sure I can handle is the younger, bad boy rocker who won't back down no matter how many times I push him away.

I've spent the better part of the last few years successfully avoiding my brother's best friend, Weston Aldrich. As CEO of Andes Inc, the infuriatingly handsome and incessantly grumpy Weston also happens to be my new boss. It shouldn't have been hard to continue avoiding him. After all, he's on the executive floor and I'm one of many copywriters. Weston has his own ideas about how things should go between us. He's in my emails, leaving notes on my desk, and as if that's not enough, he arranges for me to accompany him on a business trip. That leads to stolen touches, frenzied kisses, and the undeniable need to work each other out of our systems. That always works, right? Except now that I know what it feels like to have Weston Aldrich appreciate every inch of my abundant curves, avoiding him is impossible. But he's my brother's best friend.And a workaholic.We have to stop.And we will.Soon.Just...not yet.

Sie nannten ihn Stone Cold.Vor langer Zeit nannte ich ihn meinen Brieffreund.Als ich Callum Rose vor fünf Jahren schrieb, erwartete ich nie eine Antwort. Schließlich war er ein aufstrebender Rockstar, und ich war nur eine schüchterne Siebzehnjährige. Er schrieb jedoch zurück, und durch viele Hunderte von E-Mails wurden wir beste Freunde.Bis zu dem Tag, an dem wir uns unwissentlich gegenseitig das Herz brachen.Seit unserer letzten E-Mail sind drei Jahre vergangen. Ich bin erwachsen geworden, habe einen neuen Job bei Good Music und habe endlich die Kurve gekriegt. Aber dann kommt Callum Rose zur Tür herein, und ich fühle mich sofort in die Zeit zurückversetzt, als er mir alles bedeutete.Die Sache ist die: Er weiß nicht, wer ich bin. Er hat noch nie mein Gesicht gesehen. Und dieser Callum Rose macht seinem eiskalten Ruf alle Ehre.Das heißt, bis er mich eines Nachts in den Armen eines anderen Mannes sieht und beschließt, mich für sich haben zu wollen. Dann ist nichts mehr kalt an ihm.Callum ist Feuer und Flamme für mich, der introvertierten, unbeholfenen, pummeligen Wren Anderson. Er ist obsessiv, besitzergreifend und irgendwie ein Stalker - und das gefällt mir ... ein bisschen zu sehr. Das Problem ist nur, er weiß immer noch nicht, dass ich das Mädchen bin, das ihn verlassen hat, oder was der Grund dafür war, und ich habe Angst, dass ich, wenn er es herausfindet, gleich wieder in der Kälte stehe.

Our ability to understand others is one of the most central parts of human life, but explaining how this ability develops remains a controversial issue, exercising psychologists and philosophers alike. Within this literature the Paradox of False Belief Understanding remains one of the main open challenges. Based on an up to date overview of the empirical and theoretical literature, this book highlights the significance of this paradox for our understanding of the development of social cognition and provides a new explanation of it in the form of the Situational Mental File Account. Central features of the account are, firstly, identitfying three distinct stages in the development of belief understanding and, secondly, elaborating the role of both cognitive and situational factors as well as their interaction in the development of belief understanding. This account is also applied to the related phenomenon of pretend play, demonstrating the potential for a wider application of the account. This account generates both new empirical predications and a framework for further theoretical work, thereby providing a fruitful ground for further interdisciplinary research in this area.
