Book Description
All Kiera Blackhawk wanted was to learn the truth about her heritage. She hadn't counted on falling, and falling hard, for her compelling new boss, Sam Prescott. His touch ignited her body and his ever-watchful gaze was almost able to pierce through the secrets she was desperate to keep. Kiera could not submit to the hotel magnate's powerful seduction. For what would Sam—whose loyalty lay with the very family she might destroy—do when he discovered that she'd been lying to him about everything?

Book Description
The legend began long ago, when the Earth was young. Even before the coming of men, advanced spirits were asked by Mother Earth to serve as guardians for the planet. Many answered, but four agreed to combine their powers to protect the northwest lands called Sacred Valleys. Throughout the millennia, many spirits left the earth, but few remained to protect all who dwelled beneath the splendor of Thunder Mountain. And so the legend of the Thunder Gods continues. In the sequel to The Catalysts, the Gods are summoned to protect once more. Through a tragic accident, three children are left orphaned. As Mike and Joe Kelly, with baby sister Carli in tow, trudge along a road to their grandfathers ranch, they soon learn from his neighborsthe Strongbowsthat their grandfather has died. After the Strongbows become their guardians, the children strive to regain a sense of security, heal their grief, and adjust to living in a strange house. Even so, although the Kelly children dont yet know it, the Thunder Gods have selected them to serve as catalysts for change. But when tragedy strikes again, it is up to the Thunder Gods to save a young boybefore it is too late.

Book Description
It was going on ten o'clock the next morning when Luther heard a car pull into the ranch yard. He opened the barn door and saw the SUV. The driver's and two back doors open and three people got out. Luther stopped in his tracks. Now who in the heck was this? Could it be his new southern cook had two children? Why hadn't he mentioned that little bit of news on the phone yesterday? Well, we'll see about this! He wasn't a happy man. Luther walked purposely toward the car that stood by the front porch. Just then a chilled wind whipped the lady's hat away. The woman's hair, free of its confine, flew out like a blond flag streaming in the wind. She reached up grabbing at her hair as the same frisky wind opened her coat wide enough for Luther to catch a glimpse of this delightfully shaped...lady. Oh...Wow! Luther's anger was momentarily forgotten that she was here to interview for a job. Myohmy, some southern lady, was all he could think! As he walked toward her he swept up her hat that was tumbling along the ground. "Welcome to Rocking Horse, Ma'am, I'm Luther Strong-bow." he was rather proud of being able to overcome his surprise. "I'm Miss Golight, Sir." Oh, that velvety, southern voice. Lord, help me now! "Ah, pleased to meet you. We'd better go in as the storm looks to be arriving earlier than expected." he said and offered the hat back to her. Luther opened the front door and caught a whiff of some light perfume as she passed by him causing his nose to quiver like a rabbit's. Whoa boy, that's not a good sign. Luther struggled to bring himself back to a business-like mode.

Book Description
The San Ramon Valley stretches for 20 beautiful miles under the shadow of Mount Diablo and includes the bustling communities of San Ramon, Alamo, and Danville. Some 113,000 people make their homes here in a scenic area of open spaces, gracious homes, and tree-lined streets. Also here are major business hubs and the winding Interstate 680 freeway. Of course, this valley wasn't always so populous. In the 1850s, while nearby San Francisco boomed and Oakland grew up, this valley remained rural. Mount Diablo became an important early survey marker during California's gold rush, but only in recent decades have the early ranchos and small villages given way to the modern cities we know today.

Book Description
California has some of the most distinctive and unique geology in the United States. It is the only state with all three types of plate boundaries, an extraordinary history of earthquakes and volcanoes, and many rocks and minerals found nowhere else. The Golden State includes both the highest and lowest points in the continental US and practically every conceivable geological feature known. This book discusses not only the important geologic features of each region in California but also the complex geologic four-dimensional puzzle of how California was assembled, beginning over two billion years ago. The author provides an up-to-date and authoritative review of the geology and geomorphology of each geologic province, as well as recent revelations of the tectonic history of California’s past. There are separate chapters on some of California’s distinctive geologic resources, including gold, oil, water, coastlines, and fossils. An introductory section describes basic rock and mineral types and fundamental aspects of plate tectonics, so that students and other readers can make sense of the bizarre, wild, and crazy jigsaw puzzle that is California's geological history. In this second edition, the book has an entirely new final section, “California’s Environmental Hazards and Challenges,” with new chapters on California’s landslides, air and water pollution, renewable energy, and the future of climate change in California. Key Features Thoroughly updates the market-leading textbook on California's geology Is written by an author with 30 years of teaching geology and leading field trips in California Introduces California's unique geological history Covers fundamentals of geology Characterizes specific geographical regions of California Describes major geological resources of California Summarizes the paleontology of California Reviews the likely impact of climate change on California's environment Related Titles Hollocher, K.

Book Description
RIDE ‘EM Cabe Dawson is a cowboy at heart. He's devoted a lifetime to running Blackhawk Ranch, carving out a Northern California empire for his family. When the cattle ranch's wells run dry, he knows what he needs to do. Foreclose on the Jordan place and drill deep for water there. It's just business. Nothing personal. But, as summer heats up, keeping his mind on business just might be impossible. Rose Jordan left Lonesome, California, eight years ago and never looked back. Back then, she'd challenged Cabe's authority—and his control. Though he wanted her fiercely, she was too young. Too rebellious. Now, with Rose back in Lonesome, business is getting very, very personal. She wants to keep her home, but can Cabe convince her to keep him instead?
