The Frasers are back! Bestselling author Ana Leigh continues her stirring series with brother Jed -- who's been taming the high seas aboard a China clipper. Briefly ashore in San Francisco to visit his family, Jed meets Caroline Collins and her eight-year-old son. Beautiful Caroline doesn't have a husband in sight and she seems surprisingly hostile toward Jed, who is used to being though of as quite a catch. But there's something intriguing about her and the boy, something that convinces Jed he should stay awhile. Caroline has never revealed the identity of her son's father, not even to her own family. As independent in spirit as she is beautiful, all she wants is to continue running the family's lumber mill and raising her son herself. But if handsome, devil-may-care Jed Fraser ever takes a good hard look at her son, everything she's struggled for could be ruined. She's convinced that the best thing she could do is stay far, far away from the sexy Jed -- but her body is singing a different song...

Fans of #1 New York Times bestselling author Johanna Lindsey will be delighted by this ninth novel about the aristocratic Malory family—a passionate and high-spirited tale that provides startling new information about a prominent member of the family. After her mother dies, vivacious Katey Tyler flees her dull Connecticut town for Europe, hoping to finally meet her British relatives and experience a life-changing adventure. She has no idea just how far her travels will take her—especially when she stumbles upon a high-stakes kidnapping. When Sir Anthony Malory’s young daughter is kidnapped from London’s Hyde Park, the ransom note is accidentally sent to the home of his brother, James, and is intercepted by houseguest Boyd Anderson. The notoriously hot-headed American sea captain joins Anthony in the search for the missing girl, hardly expecting that his pursuit will have him cross paths with the exquisite Katey Tyler, recently a passenger on his ship. Little does Katey realize that in having caught the attention of Boyd Anderson—and in meeting up with the Malorys—she's about to experience more excitement than the typical young lady encounters on a grand tour. A multitude of surprises await her, from the startling truth about her mother’s early life to the lengths a man will go to win the affections of a lady who has every reason to despise him—but who can’t resist the seductive, impassioned love he has to offer her. With “witty writing, charmingly unique characters, and a sexy love story” (Booklist), No Choice But Seduction will sweep you away on an irresistible adventure that is as bold and charming as the heroine at its heart.

In this erudite yet accessible commentary Ernest Lucas elucidates the book of Proverbs both exegetically and thematically. Explicating the text in light of its ancient Near Eastern context, Lucas also shows the relevance of Proverbs for the twenty-first century, speaking as it does to such issues as character formation, gender relations, wealth and poverty, interpersonal communication, science and religion, and care for the environment. Lucas uniquely identifies “proverbial clusters” in his critical exegesis of the biblical text and uses them as the basis for interpreting individual proverbs. Several substantial theological essays at the end of the book illuminate major ethical, pastoral, and spiritual themes in Proverbs. Ably unpacking the rich wisdom embedded in the book of Proverbs, Lucas’s accessible theological commentary is perfect for pastors, teachers, and students.
