Get lost in the fun of an impromptu Las Vegas wedding in this classic romance from New York Times bestselling author Sharon Sala. Wedding night? What wedding night? Proper Southerner Harley June Beaumont came to Vegas to be her best friend’s maid of honor, so how is she waking up in bed with the best-looking man she’s ever seen—who claims to be her husband. She doesn’t even remember meeting firefighter Sam Clay, just dancing and drinking and having a good time—a good time that stopped well short of a trip to the tattoo parlor, much less the altar. Though her new “Junie loves Same” tattoo says otherwise! With nothing to do but brazen things out in front of her very proper family, Harley embarks on married life with no expectation that it could possibly last. But Sam turns out to be the whole package, and soon Harley thinks that sometimes it’s a good thing that what happens in Vegas doesn’t necessarily stay there. Originally published in 2002

These are the stories of what happened in the West as the trickle then flood of Easterners and immigrants first began to flow into the plains, deserts, and mountains between the Pacific Ocean and the Mississippi River and, finally, far north into The Last Frontier. While some events would have happened regardless who was there—earthquakes, storms, droughts, and other natural disasters—it was because of this influx of humanity that those events were recorded and have become part of America’s history. Amid tales of loss and horror are accounts of survival and success. And among the countless adventurers who found the lure of wide open spaces and untapped resources to be as strong as the Sirens’ song to Odysseus, many found the determination to thrive in the West. And thrive they did—even better, for what they lacked in resources they made up in resourcefulness, becoming inventors, entrepreneurs, scientists, activists, explorers and more.

In this first volume in the Contending Modernities series, Inclusive Populism: Creating Citizens in the Global Age, Angus Ritchie claims that our current political upheavals, exemplified by the far-right populism of billionaire Donald Trump, reveal fundamental flaws in secular liberalism. Ritchie maintains that both liberalism and this “fake populism” resign citizens to an essentially passive role in public life. Ritchie argues instead for an “inclusive populism,” in which religious and nonreligious identities and institutions are fully represented in the public square, engaging the diverse communities brought together by global migration to build and lead a common life. Drawing on twenty years of experience in action and reflection in East London, Ritchie posits that the practice of community organizing exemplifies a truly inclusive populism, and that it is also reflected in the teaching of Pope Francis. Speaking to our political crisis and mapping out a way forward, Inclusive Populism will appeal to thoughtful readers and active citizens interested in politics, community organizing, and religion.
