Her Hot Pursuit by Lucianne Rivers Hold Me Still reeling from her mother's death, news anchor Jane Caldwell's life is upended further when she learns the father she lost twenty years ago is still alive. Her mother's will unleashes a manhunt--the Caldwell sisters must find their father, or their mother's estate will not be settled, and their questions about his disappearance will remain unanswered. Jane's search leads her to Guatemala to investigate a man who claims to be her father and heir to the family fortune. Needing a translator, she enlists enigmatic Harrison DeNeuve, a sexy expatriate with a penchant for wearing dark sunglasses in public. As Jane struggles to reunite with her would-be father, Harrison fights to suppress his desire for Jane. He has a secret--one he's sequestered himself in a third-world jungle hideaway to keep safe--and falling for Jane puts more than his heart at risk. Jane finds two men in Guatemala--a father and a lover--but can she trust either of them? Thrill Me Santa Fe Police Detective Margo Caldwell needs a vacation, but the wild goose chase her mother's death triggers isn't quite what she had in mind. Margo and her sisters must locate their father, or the Caldwell estate will remain unsettled--and they'll never know why their father didn't return from the Gulf War. ?Pursuing a lead, Margo heads to the Virgin Islands in search of Zach Caldwell. To navigate the waters of the Caribbean, she needs a boat and a captain. Too bad Captain Adrian Prince, with his mesmerizing muscles and wicked grin, may be a gunrunner. Adrian takes Margo on his delivery route to small islands near St. Thomas that hide more than wildlife, booze, and sexy boaters. On a remote, mangrove-ridden patch of sand, they find gun-toting Zach Caldwell. When their mission turns deadly, Margo must save Adrian's life--and her own--even if she loses her heart in the process. Entice Me Robert Rivera, private investigator and former Navy SEAL, alerts Allison to new intel identifying her father as a P.O.W. in Afghanistan. With her sisters out of the country pursuing leads, Allison insists on heading to the war-ravaged country to find him. Robert doesn't want his naïve client to take the risk. He knows what danger lies in that godforsaken land...he's lived through it. Barely. But Allison is determined to go, and Robert can't let her travel alone. Reluctantly appreciative, Allison quickly realizes how much she needs his guidance and protection, and how deeply she longs for his love. Robert struggles to understand her effect on his battle-weary heart. The path to Allison's father is blocked by terrorists, traps and treachery--all demons of Robert's past. Can he survive a second round with the enemy and keep Allison out of harm's way?

As suggested by the pun-like title, LAST (W)RITES is both a bringing to a conclusion of certain previous theories by John O'Loughlin, self-taught philosopher and literary writer, which here attain to a well-nigh definitive presentation, and a ceremonial conclusion to certain lifestyles which this book is intended to assist kill off in the interests of what it calls a Superchristian dispensation commensurate with Social Transcendentalism and, hence, with an antithesis to all that, in contemporary terms, is effectively Superheathen, though the term 'secular', not least in relation to 'feminism' is of course more germane.

"The Unbearable Bassington" by Saki (the pen-name of H. H. Munro) is one of many examples of the author's witty, bizarre, and perhaps a bit cynical writing style. An example of what were considered the typical manners and status quo in Edwardian society, "The Unbearable Bassington" is part commentary, part humor, and completely entertaining for readers of all ages and walks of life, even now, many years after its publication.

Edward Frederic Benson (1867-1940) was an English novelist, biographer, memoirist, archaeologist and short story writer, known professionally as E.F. Benson. He started his novel writing career in 1893 with the fashionably controversial Dodo, which was an instant success, and followed it with a variety of satire and romantic and supernatural melodrama. He repeated the success of Dodo, with sequels to this novel, but the greatest success came relatively late in his career with The Mapp and Lucia series consisting of six novels and two short stories. The novels feature humorous incidents in the lives of (mainly) upper-middle-class British people in the 1920s and 1930s, vying for social prestige and one-upmanship in an atmosphere of extreme cultural snobbery. Benson was also known as a writer of atmospheric, oblique, and at times humorous or satirical ghost stories. This edition includes: Make Way For Lucia: Queen Lucia Miss Mapp Dodo Trilogy: Dodo: A Detail of the Day Dodo's Daughter or Dodo the Second Dodo Wonders David Blaize Series: David Blaize David Blaize and the Blue Door Other Novels: The Rubicon The Judgement Books The Vintage Mammon and Co. Scarlet and Hyssop The Relentless City The Valkyries The Angel of Pain The House of Defence The Blotting Book Daisy's Aunt Mrs. Ames Thorley Weir Arundel Michael Up and Down Across the Stream Short Story Collections: The Room in the Tower, and Other Stories The Countess of Lowndes Square, and Other Stories Historical Work: Crescent and Iron Cross
