Small towns and second chances go together, like beach kisses and high school exes. Whoever said forty was the new thirty was drunk. And as if fresh starts at my age weren’t hard enough, my old flame is now my hot new client. Awkward. Ryker West: Seashell Cove’s wealthy, smoldering, borderline grumpy silver fox––and also my brooding, borderline arrogant ex. Me: Meg Daniels, twice-divorced empty nester turned photographer starting over. Again. My mission: Shoot his posh gala. Quick snaps, no rehashing our past. We’re professionals, right? Wrong. Nothing’s ever simple with Ryker. Every snarky comeback and heated glance feels like high school all over again. Except, maybe a better wardrobe? Behind my camera, I'm supposed to be invisible, but with Ryker, I’m squirming under his too knowing gaze. Before I know it, we’re both blurring lines we swore we'd never cross again. He's the guy with his heart under lock, I'm the girl who lost the key. And I’m not sure either of us is ready to find it. This is a standalone, later-in-life, sweet with heat, winter beachside tale with all the feels and a sticky, sugary, satisfying HEA you'll never get over. You've been warned.

The clock is relentlessly ticking! Our world teeters on a knife-edge between a peaceful and prosperous future for all, and a dark winter of death and destruction that threatens to smother the light of civilization. Within 30 years, in the 2030 decade, six powerful 'drivers' will converge with unprecedented force in a statistical spike that could tear humanity apart and plunge the world into a new Dark Age. Depleted fuel supplies, massive population growth, poverty, global climate change, famine, growing water shortages and international lawlessness are on a crash course with potentially catastrophic consequences. In the face of both doomsaying and denial over the state of our world, Colin Mason cuts through the rhetoric and reams of conflicting data to muster the evidence to illustrate a broad picture of the world as it is, and our possible futures. Ultimately his message is clear; we must act decisively, collectively and immediately to alter the trajectory of humanity away from catastrophe. Offering over 100 priorities for immediate action, The 2030 Spike serves as a guidebook for humanity through the treacherous minefields and wastelands ahead to a bright, peaceful and prosperous future in which all humans have the opportunity to thrive and build a better civilization. This book is powerful and essential reading for all people concerned with the future of humanity and planet earth.

When Betty MacDonald married a marine and moved to a small chicken farm on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State, she was largely unprepared for the rigors of life in the wild. With no running water, no electricity, a house in need of constant repair, and days that ran from four in the morning to nine at night, the MacDonalds had barely a moment to put their feet up and relax. And then came the children. Yet through every trial and pitfall—through chaos and catastrophe—this indomitable family somehow, mercifully, never lost its sense of humor. A beloved literary treasure for more than half a century, Betty MacDonald's The Egg and I is a heartwarming and uproarious account of adventure and survival on an American frontier.

Rules are made to be broken . . . If England had yearbooks, I'd probably be "Arden St. Ives: Man Least Likely to Set the World on Fire." So far, I haven't. I've no idea what I'm doing at Oxford, no idea what I'm going to do next and, until a week ago, I had no idea who Caspian Hart was. Turns out, he's brilliant, beautiful . . . oh yeah, and a billionaire. It's impossible not to be captivated by someone like that. But Caspian Hart makes his own rules. And he has a lot of them. About when I can be with him. What I can do with him. And when he'll be through with me. I'm good at doing what I'm told in the bedroom. The rest of the time, not so much. And now that Caspian's shown me glimpses of the man behind the billionaire I know it's him I want. Not his wealth, not his status. Him. Except that might be the one thing he doesn't have the power to give me.
