p.B. J. Whiting savors proverbial expressions and has devoted much of his lifetime to studying and collecting them; no one knows more about British and American proverbs than he. The present volume, based upon writings in British North America from the earliest settlements to approximately 1820, complements his and Archer Taylor's Dictionary of American Proverbs and Proverbial Phrases, 1820-1880. It differs from that work and from other standard collections, however, in that its sources are primarily not "literary" but instead workaday writings - letters, diaries, histories, travel books, political pamphlets, and the like. The authors represent a wide cross-section of the populace, from scholars and statesmen to farmers, shopkeepers, sailors, and hunters. Mr. Whiting has combed all the obvious sources and hundreds of out-of-the-way publications of local journals and historical societies. This body of material, "because it covers territory that has not been extracted and compiled in a scholarly way before, can justly be said to be the most valuable of all those that Whiting has brought together," according to Albert B. Friedman. "What makes the work important is Whiting's authority: a proverb or proverbial phrase is what BJW thinks is a proverb or proverbial phrase. There is no objective operative definition of any value, no divining rod; his tact, 'feel, ' experience, determine what's the real thing and what is spurious."

Petty Officer Oliver “Artful Dodger” Graham heads with the team to Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic to apprehend the financier of their failed terrorist target Muhammad Angar Said. But on a routine recon of the city, he discovers a hooker that looks suspiciously like Mad Max’s baby sister, Anna Keegan. Once he follows her all hell breaks loose. Dodger has been trying with all his might to stay away from the tantalizing beauty. In the past he’d turned his life upside down for a woman and that left him alone and jobless, in the US once she cheated on him with another guy. Years later, the scars of that failed romance haunt him still. Now he’s more intent on getting to the bottom of this interesting intrigue while still trying to maintain the status quo. The trouble is Anna is always maddeningly unpredictable. Anna Keegan finds herself in some hot water in a foreign city without backup. After discovering an ominous plot that would have devastating consequences for the US, Anna must pull out all the stops to neutralize the threat. But on the way to diffusing the situation, she runs into overprotective Dodger and he insists on staying with her and helping her to clear her name. As they work to discover all the clues to eliminating the danger, they stumble onto an even bigger and more dire plan that will take them to major cities and across continents in a desperate attempt to save lives. Anna and Dodger fight their attraction in the midst of all the peril, but can they allow themselves to be overtaken by passion when so much is at stake?
