Fatal Game

ONE WRONG MOVE Private detective Claire Morgan has come home from her honeymoon just in time for Christmas at Lake of the Ozarks. And for the sheriff's department, laid low with flu, to hand her a case guaranteed to chill her to the bone. ONE CHANCE TO DIE One of the homes in the local Christmas On the Lake House tour—the mansion of an aging rock star trying to turn his life around—has been "decorated" with the body of a young woman, arranged as a bloody angel on the balcony above his Christmas tree. There's a piece from a board game, gift wrapped and left under the tree, a hint that connects this murder to other deaths. With evidence of a gruesome pattern appearing, Claire suspects she's on the hunt for a serial killer.

Zebulon


Book Description

Zebulon is a story that tells about a young boy whose family suffers an abusive father but is befriended by Sergeant Finley, a policeman who leads him to a personal relationship with God. His journeys take him from Tennessee to Kentucky and back again as he shows the growth that comes from knowing God in a personal way. He is quick to share his faith with all who cross his path and even leads his grandfather to salvation when he lives with his grandparents for a time. During his time in the military, he was nicknamed "Rev," which was short for reverend because of his Christian attitude and demeanor. When he comes back from the military, he sets out on a journey to find his friend, Sergeant Finley, and endures additional hardships, but continues to help others even during those hard times. When he returns to his hometown and meets a girl on his journey that he had known in school, he thinks he might have found the girl of his dreams, but God shows him her true nature before he mistakenly yokes himself to her. This is a story of personal growth, redemption, and the search for his special place in life.




Peak With Books


Book Description

PERFECT FOR THE EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATOR, CARE GIVER AND PARENTS ALIKE, Peak With Books shows how to use popular children's literature to build reading, writing, and cognitive skills in an inquiry-based environment. Instead of using a "skill and drill" approach, the authors employ conversations, questions, and, meaning-based activities to stimulate children's curiosity, confidence, and thirst for knowledge. The authors' balanced literacy program teaches strong reading, writing, and critical thinking skills. To develop those skills, each chapter's central storybook is accompanied by strategies that employ art, music, drama, finger rhymes, poetry, math and science activities. Graphics and children's presentations illustrate how research and discovery through fiction can enliven whole-class and individually directed projects. Copyright © Libri GmbH.

The Cowboy’s Secret Babies


Book Description

Ryder Carey has known Rosie Stark their whole lives, including one very hot night three years ago—but he’s always been about the rodeo. Finally back home and ready to make it up to her, he takes one look at Rosie—and her twin boys who look just like him—and realizes the truth. When Rosie found out she was pregnant, she figured Ryder would at least come and say hello when he was home the next time so she could tell him. But he never did. So she’s made her own life as a single mom, no thanks to him. Now Ryder is back. And he has the nerve to be furious with her. He’s determined to be a father to his kids—and more than happy to fight about it. In court if necessary. Or anywhere else, which feels a little too much like those sparks she remembers from Texas and wants nothing to do with now. Or does she? Maybe she wants to fight with him… But Ryder has a better idea: she could marry him instead.
