"What are the odds against winning the Lotto, The Weakest Link, or Who Wants to be a Millionaire? The answer lies in the science of probability, yet many of us are unaware of how this science works. Every day, people make judgements on a wide variety of situations where chance plays a role, including buying insurance, betting on horse-racing, following medical advice - even carrying an umbrella. In Taking Chances, John Haigh guides the reader round common pitfalls, demonstrates how to make better-informed decisions, and shows where the odds can be unexpectedly in your favour. This new edition has been fully updated, and includes information on top television shows, plus a new chapter on Probability for Lawyers."--BOOK JACKET.

Her first year away is turning out to be near perfect, but one weekend of giving in to heated passion will change everything. Eighteen year old Harper has grown up under her career-Marine father’s thumb. Ready to live life her own way and experience things she’s only ever heard of from the jarheads in her father’s unit, she’s on her way to college at San Diego State University. She finds herself being torn in two as she quickly falls in love with Brandon, who becomes her boyfriend—and her roommate’s brother Chase. Covered in tattoos, known for fighting in the Underground and ridiculously muscled...they’re exactly what she was always warned to stay away from, but just what she needs.

From the bestselling author of Summer at Shell Cottage comes The Year of Taking Chances, a novel full of warmth, humour and romance. Because love is always worth the risk . . . It's New Year's Eve, and Gemma and Spencer Bailey are throwing a house party. There's music, dancing, champagne and all their best friends under one roof. It's going to be a night to remember. Also at the party is Caitlin, who has returned to the village to pack up her much-missed mum's house and to figure out what to do with her life; and Saffron, a PR executive who's keeping a secret which no amount of spin can change. The three women bond over Gemma's dodgy cocktails and fortune cookies, and vow to make this year their best one yet. But as the months unfold, Gemma, Saffron and Caitlin find themselves tested to their limits by shocking new developments. Family, love, work, home - all the things they've taken for granted are thrown into disarray. Under pressure, they are each forced to rethink their lives and start over. But dare they take a chance on something new?

Paige Franklin has a firm plan for her life and career - and it doesn't include a boyfriend! When she meets Danny Ferguson at her MBA class, her initial reaction is that he's a jock and a "chick magnet". They're partnered on several class assignments where she gets to know Danny better - realizing that there's much more to him than she originally thought. He's sexy, smart, funny and fun to be with. But, Paige convinces herself that she doesn't want to detour from her current life plan. To cool off their budding relationship, Paige gives Danny the "friends" speech. He's discouraged by her speech, but decides that he likes Paige too much and compromises with her "friends" request. This cute couple gets to know each other under the pretense of being friends while they're falling madly in love. Romance, comedy and frustration ensue when Paige realizes her mistake. Danny is much more than a friend, but how does she turn the situation around? Should she take a chance on upsetting her perfect life plan with a new love? This story is about two ordinary people with an extraordinary love story to tell. It shows how you can find true love when you least expect it, as long as you're open to taking chances. If you like stories with humor that touch your heart - this is the book for you! It is a sweet romantic sequel to my first novel, Second Chances, but can be enjoyed as a standalone novel. The original characters from Second Chances make appearances in this book and you get updates on their lives as well.
