But she won't let herself get too close to a life of wealth that has caused her pain in the past. Hudson will have to decide if he's man enough to stand up to his father, and Shannon will have to choose whether to believe in Hudson or let him go.If you like sweet romance stories full of faith and compelling story lines, you'll love Hannah Jo Abbott's Sweet Home Billionaire Series.

Book Description

How three New Hampshire women triumphed over an oil billionaire: “A very timely reminder that when we fight we often win.”—Bill McKibben Never underestimate the underdog. In 1973, Greek oil shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis—husband of President John F. Kennedy’s widow, Jacqueline, and arguably the richest man in the world—proposed to build an oil refinery on the narrow New Hampshire coast, in the town of Durham. At the time, it would have cost $600 million to build and was expected to generate 400,000 barrels of oil per day, making it the largest oil refinery in the world. The project was vigorously supported by the governor, Meldrim Thomson, and by William Loeb, the notorious publisher of the only statewide newspaper, the Manchester Union Leader. But three women vehemently opposed the project—Nancy Sandberg, the town leader who founded and headed Save Our Shores; Dudley Dudley, the freshman state rep who took the fight to the state legislature; and Phyllis Bennett, the publisher of the local newspaper that alerted the public to Onassis’ secret acquisition of the land. Small Town, Big Oil is the story of how the residents of Durham, led by these three women, out-organized, out-witted, and out-maneuvered the governor, the media, and the Onassis cartel to hand the powerful Greek billionaire the most humiliating defeat of his business career, and spare the New Hampshire seacoast from becoming an industrial wasteland. “Activists and organizers will find lots of ideas and inspirations in this book's detailed account of an epic battle.”—Bill McKibben “[An] apt handbook on the power of the people.”—Providence Journal

Friendship turns into young love, a nasty breakup, and maybe a second chance. Can this billionaire make his great life perfect? Blake Murphy wants redemption. More than that, he wants a second chance. He'd been avoiding his home town since the day he left for college. Trista Kennedy would be there and he had no idea how he'd face her after the way he'd treated her. But now he'd find out. His high school reunion was coming up and he'd see her then. Trista had moved on from Blake. Until she saw him when he came home for their high school reunion. He was handsome, rich, and easy going. He'd only been boyishly good looking in high school. So much had happened in a decade. Blake's old flame - the one who'd come after he'd broken Trista's heart - was ready to scoop him up again. Trista couldn't even think about competing with her. She'd never outshine the former cheerleader and constant social butterfly. But she felt something. Yearning. What might have been. Regret. She thought he felt it, too. Is there a chance to mend broken relationships in the heat of a small Arizona town after a decade apart?

Book Description

There's a new girl in the small town of River Bend, Montana - a pretty little thing from the city who doesn't know her heifers from her steers. Or her good guys from her f*cked up ex-Marines. Her name is Tia Kinsley and she's nothing like the girls in River Bend. Proud, smart and gorgeous, she's a fish out of water with a habit of getting into sitcom-style scrapes. Not that I have any interest in rescuing her from those scrapes... The last thing I came out here to the middle of nowhere to do is fall in love. Two brutal tours in Iraq left me broken and haunted, unfit for human companionship. Besides, I've got everything I need - my livestock, my property and my faithful dog, Beau. I've got rules, too. No relationships that last longer than a single night, for one. No local girls. No entanglements. Until one hot summer night when I catch a fleeting glimpse of something familiar in Tia's dark eyes. I know that look. I see it every day, staring back at me in the mirror. Hurt. Loss. So it turns out maybe I'm not the only one in pain. Maybe the world doesn't revolve around me. And maybe - just maybe - being with her is like feeling the rain on my face after years in the desert. I'm not fit for any of this and I know it - not fit for love or kindness or the sweet tenderness with which she treats me. For Tia's own good - and even as her breathless little sighs still ring in my ears - I can't let her in. But I can't seem to stay away, either, and the closer we dance to the cliff's edge, the tighter I hold on... Not your usual Bad Boy, this 70k standalone romance is a good old-fashioned love story - with lots of steam, no cliffhangers and a heart-melting HEA guaranteed!

Book Description

"Billionaire Wilderness offers an unprecedented look inside the world of the ultra-wealthy and their relationship to the natural world, showing how the ultra-rich use nature to resolve key predicaments in their lives. Justin Farrell immerses himself in Teton County, Wyoming--both the richest county in the United States and the county with the nation's highest level of income inequality--to investigate interconnected questions about money, nature, and community in the twenty-first century. Farrell draws on three years of in-depth interviews with "ordinary" millionaires and the world's wealthiest billionaires, four years of in-person observation in the community, and original quantitative data to provide comprehensive and unique analytical insight on the ultra-wealthy. He also interviewed low-income workers who could speak to their experiences as employees for and members of the community with these wealthy people. He finds that the wealthy leverage nature to climb even higher on the socioeconomic ladder, and they use their engagement with nature and rural people as a way of creating more virtuous and deserving versions of themselves. Billionaire Wilderness demonstrates that our contemporary understanding of the relationship between the ultra-wealthy and the environment is empirically shallow, and our reliance on reports of national economic trends distances us from the real experiences of these people and their local communities"--
