Book Description

Our families have feuded for years, but when I get myself hurt during a winter storm, Dawson King rides in like a cowboy Prince Charming and tucks me into his bed until I get better. It’s suddenly hard to remember why I don’t like him. From Marie Johnston comes an enemies to lovers, small town romance. Dawson King’s mom died because of my dad’s poor decisions, and ever since, I’ve been at the bottom of the King Ranch manure pile. Years later, our circumstances couldn’t be more different. I’m left running my decrepit ranch, and he’s right next door, in his big house, with his fat and happy cattle, and he sneaks treats to my horse. Everyone in town loves him while hating me is their favorite game. Yet when I get hurt in the middle of a snow storm, he’s the only one there to help me. When I’m recovering at his place, he takes care of me, and I start to forget the resentment between us and remember the friendship we had as kids. He treats me like he sees beyond my caustic personality and the high emotional barriers I’ve erected thanks to my rough upbringing. What I don’t know is that he’s hiding a secret that gives him millions of reasons behind his motivation to get close to me. The clock is ticking for Dawson and his generous trust fund, and if I don’t succumb to his intoxicating charm, I’ll end up back in the hovel I came from with a broken heart. But if I fall hard, I’m not sure if he’ll have a reason to be there to catch me. King's Country is a standalone novel in the Oil Kings series.

Book Description

Provides a detailed analysis of Thailand's political development since 1932, when Thailand became a constitutional monarchy, until the present. It examines the large number of different versions of the constitution which Thailand has had since 1932, and explains why the constitution has been subject to such frequent change, and why there have been so many outbursts of violent, political unrest. It explores the role of the military, and, most importantly, discusses the role of the monarchy, which, as the author shows, has been crucial in holding Thailand together through the various changes of regime. The author brings to light original and largely unseen documents from the Public Records Office and US National Archives, as well as drawing upon her extensive knowledge of politics in Thailand.

Book Description

I am a simple soldier I am not the strongest man, nor the fastest. I am not the best with the sword or the bow. I am not the quickest to get the point or the wittiest with a retort. I can lift a great weight, run fast, spar with a sword, hunt with a bow, laugh at a jest and respond with a pun. I am not the best or brightest or fastest or smartest or most flippant. Yet I do well in all areas. Not being the best keeps me humble and inspires me to strive for better. While being amongst the best gives me the confidence to always push forward. I joined the Kings Army directly from the farm the day after my Day of Majority rite. I was not driven out for dishonest actions, nor did I run from abusive parents. I did not hunger for great adventure though I did become restless in the tedium of a farmers life. In the end my choice was simple. The King called and I answered. This is my story.

Book Description

FROM THE HEART OF BELFAST COMES A TERRORIST THREAT THAT SPELLS DOOM FOR BRITAIN'S ONCE AND FUTURE KING . . . AND THE REST OF US AS WELL What SAS Captain Trevor Stirling doesn't know may kill him¾along with every man, woman, and child alive. Stirling thinks his mission is simple: follow a terrorist into the year AD 500 to stop a Northern Irish fanatic bent on murder. If the terrorist succeeds in killing Artorius, the Briton Lord of Battle and the most revered icon of British history, before his greatest military victory, the time-space continuum will fracture, destroying the British nation. And, coincidentally, the rest of the world. In a tale where no one is ever quite who or what they seem, hidden enemies and unexpected allies play out a drama of 21st-century terrorism against the backdrop of Arthurian Britain at its darkest hour. One man, alone in time, struggling to save an entire universe from extinction, must choose between duty to his mission and the growing conviction that he should forsake everything he holds dear to follow a higher duty¾to risk it all.

Book Description

After the battle of Orakau in 1864 and the end of the war in the Waikato, Tawhiao, the second Maori King, and his supporters were forced into an armed isolation in the Rohe Potae, the King Country. For the next twenty years, the King Country operated as an independent state – a land governed by the Maori King where settlers and the Crown entered at risk of their lives. Dancing with the King is the story of the King Country when it was the King's country, and of the negotiations between the King and the Queen that finally opened the area to European settlement. For twenty years, the King and the Queen's representatives engaged in a dance of diplomacy involving gamesmanship, conspiracy, pageantry and hard headed politics, with the occasional act of violence or threat of it. While the Crown refused to acknowledge the King's legitimacy, the colonial government and the settlers were forced to treat Tawhiao as a King, to negotiate with him as the ruler and representative of a sovereign state, and to accord him the respect and formality that this involved. Colonial negotiators even made Tawhiao offers of settlement that came very close to recognising his sovereign authority. Dancing with the King is a riveting account of a key moment in New Zealand history as an extraordinary cast of characters – Tawhiao and Rewi Maniapoto, Donald McLean and George Grey – negotiated the role of the King and the Queen, of Maori and Pakeha, in New Zealand.

Book Description

The Lame Take the Prey / For King and Country is a voice of reconciliation and hope- a welcome relief to a torn nation under God. Though a direct contradiction to circumstance, it's a timeless principle of Scripture- that in brokenness there's strength. From this framework comes God's view on "greatness" - that it's not just assumed as a birthright, or belongs only to the ages, but finds a home in us, as God calls us to be a cut above the rest. Brokenness attracts the mercies of God who raises up broken people to do big things and to become benefactors of blessings others only dream about. You can't dream big enough for God! For the Kingdom of God and the healing of our great nation, God has a plan for each life yielded to Him. When it looks too late for what you planned, it's not too late for what God has planned. You see the pieces. God sees the picture. You endure the preparation. God encounters you with His purpose. Like a "fast ball in," when the call of God comes over the plate, you'll know it in your spirit. And what's waited for tomorrow, you'll do today. "You can never cross the ocean until you have the courage to lose sight of the land."- Christopher Columbus There will never be a perfect moment to do a great thing!
