Book Description

Mills & Boon Western Romance — Small towns, cowboys and contemporary romance, the all-American way! That Maverick Of Mine - Kathy Douglass Caleb Strom has come to Bronco looking for answers to a thirty-year-old mystery. Is it possible famous rodeo rider Brooks Langtree is his biological father? His search gets more complicated when he meets another rodeo star, beautiful and independent Faith Hawkins. Caleb and Faith pledge to keep things casual, but high emotions and tangled family secrets quickly raise the stakes. Faith discovers that her own family connections could hold the key to the truth — but inserting herself into Caleb’s quest could alter both their lives forever... Courting The Cowgirl - Cheryl Harper To repay a debt that once helped launch his career, famous LA chef Brian Caruso agrees to do a competition cooking show in Prospect, Colorado. There he’s charmed by the local cowgirl restauranteur who’s been hired as his consultant. Faye Parker instantly connects with Brian’s teenage daughter Gemma, but her father...not so much. His cuisine is a bit too upscale for her tastes — too ‘big city’. But as the series starts filming and they begin to see eye-to-eye, is it possible that this uptown boy could find a country home with Faye? Fortune’s Faux Engagement - Carrie Nichols What in heaven’s name had compelled Jade Fortune to pretend that Heath Blackwood, the most sought-after bachelor in Chatelaine, was her fiancé? Especially when Jade barely knew the start-up titan desperately seeking answers about his own past? But to Jade’s surprise, Heath’s happy to play along with her spur-of-the-moment ruse. This ersatz engagement’s just a figment of Jade’s imagination, though. Or could this be the stuff dreams are made of? The Rodeo Cowboy’s Return - Cathy McDavid Rodeo cowboy Everett Owens broke a vow to watch over his best friend’s widow and son. But when his grandfather’s failing health leads him back to Arizona, he must face Macy Sommers, the single mother he abandoned to her grief — and the woman who has always held a special place in his heart. Could working together to save Pops’s ranch help to heal the past...and create a loving future neither imagined?

Book Description

Named a Best Book of 2020 by NPR and Lit Hub. A Los Angeles Times Bestseller. A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice "In The Cactus League [Emily Nemens] provides her readers with what amounts to a miniature, self-enclosed world that is funny and poignant and lovingly observed." --Charles McGrath, The New York Times Book Review An explosive, character-driven odyssey through the world of baseball Jason Goodyear is the star outfielder for the Los Angeles Lions, stationed with the rest of his team in the punishingly hot Arizona desert for their annual spring training. Handsome, famous, and talented, Goodyear is nonetheless coming apart at the seams. And the coaches, writers, wives, girlfriends, petty criminals, and diehard fans following his every move are eager to find out why—as they hide secrets of their own. Humming with the energy of a ballpark before the first pitch, Emily Nemens's The Cactus League unravels the tightly connected web of people behind a seemingly linear game. Narrated by a sportscaster, Goodyear’s story is interspersed with tales of Michael Taylor, a batting coach trying to stay relevant; Tamara Rowland, a resourceful spring-training paramour, looking for one last catch; Herb Allison, a legendary sports agent grappling with his decline; and a plethora of other richly drawn characters, all striving to be seen as the season approaches. It’s a journey that, like the Arizona desert, brims with both possibility and destruction. Anchored by an expert knowledge of baseball’s inner workings, Emily Nemens's The Cactus League is a propulsive and deeply human debut that captures a strange desert world that is both exciting and unforgiving, where the most crucial games are the ones played off the field.

Book Description

#1 New York Times bestselling author Sue Grafton crafts a thriller set in a town so small that P.I. Kinsey Millhone wonders just how private her investigation can be . . . F is for Fugitive Floral Beach wasn't much of a town: six streets long and three deep, its only notable feature a strip of sand fronting the Pacific. It was on that sandy beach seventeen years ago that the strangled body of Jean Timberlake had been found. The people of floral Beach didn't pay a whole lot of mind to past history, especially when Bailey Fowler, the self-confessed killer, had been properly processed and convicted. They weren't even unduly concerned when, a year after the murder, Fowler walked away from the men's prison at San Luis Obispo, never to be seen again. After all, everyone knew Jean had been a wild kid. "Like mother, like daughter," some said--though never within hearing of Shana Timberlake, who, whatever her faults, still mourned her murdered child. And then, by sheer fluke, the cops stumbled on Bailey Fowler. And a case seventeen years dead came murderously to life again. For Royce Fowler, old and sick with not much time left, his son's reappearance was the chance to heal an old wound. For Kinsey Millhone, the case was a long shot, but she agreed to take it on. She couldn't know then it would lead her to probe the passions buried just below the surface of family relations, where old wounds fester and the most cherished emotions become warped until they fuse into deadly, soul-destroying time bombs.

Book Description

Country music superstar Trace Adkins isn’t exactly known for holding back what’s on his mind. And if the millions of albums he’s sold are any indication, when Trace talks, people listen. Now, in A Personal Stand, Trace Adkins delivers his maverick manifesto on politics, personal responsibility, fame, parenting, being true to yourself, hard work, and the way things oughta be. In his inimitable pull-no-punches style, Trace gives us the state of the union as he sees it, from the lessons of his boyhood in small-town Louisiana to what he’s learned headlining concerts around the world. Trace has worked oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico, been shot in the heart, been inducted into the Grand Ole Opry, and braved perhaps the greatest challenge of all: being the father of five daughters. And shaped by these experiences, he’s sounding off. • I’m incredibly frustrated with the state of American politics. If there were a viable third party, I’d seriously consider joining it. • If anybody wonders who the good guys are and who the bad guys are in this world, just look at the way we teach our children as opposed to the way the fundamentalist Muslims teach their children. • Organized labor now exists for the sake of organized labor, and not for the workers it once protected. • I believe the easiest way to solve the illegal immigration enforcement problem is to go after the employers who hire illegal aliens. • As a society, we’re unwilling to sacrifice our luxuries and our conveniences in order to conserve. We won’t change until we’re forced to. • The war on terror is like herpes. People can live with it, but it’ll flare up from time to time. Brash, ballsy, persuasive, and controversial, A Personal Stand isn’t just the story of Trace Adkins’s life; it’s the story of what life can teach all of us.
