Book Description
An ancient family relic, a newly discovered portal to the past—what could possibly go wrong? After a tragic childhood accident left her orphaned, Brianna O’Roarke found meaning in historical antiquities, objects and artifacts she trusts will never leave her. So, when she discovers her family’s prized possession—the centuries old Wolf Sword—is missing, she’ll stop at nothing to see it returned. Finally securing a meeting with the elusive Mr. MacTavish, who’s now asserting ownership of the sword, Brianna sets off to Scotland and her ancestral home, Dunhill Manor, in hopes of shoring up her claim, and getting her treasured legacy back. Scotland 1434—Aidan Sinclair has one last mission to complete in order to fulfill his duty—a sacred oath made to his brethren and mentor, to install the Montgomerys in what will become their family seat for centuries to come. But when he finds the mysterious Miss O’Roarke in residence upon his arrival, seeking safe passage to Dunhill, it seems his task is far from over…and perhaps, a new quest is set to begin. As Aidan and Brianna make the journey across land and sea, two things become evident: one, their lives are somehow entwined, and have been since before they even met. And two, assumptions, especially in matters of the heart, rarely prove true, and even less so where Fate is concerned. Return to adventure, and Medieval Scotland for another heart stopping, time travel romance in the Highland Lairds of the Crest Series—where lingering questions are answered…and new mysteries begin to unravel.

Pages : 246
Book Description
In The Rise and Fall of Dr. Mom, Angela Lowe Heider describes in raw detail her short career as an obstetrician and gynecologist. She highlights the many challenges female physicians and their families face and draws attention to the delicate balance all working women must achieve to ensure peace on the home front while allowing for professional pursuits outside the home. Through vivid personal accounts, Dr. Heider invites the reader into the mind and emotions of one physician struggling to maintain that balance. The reasons for her decision to retire from the practice of medicine at the young age of thirty-two are frankly defined with compelling honesty. The Rise and Fall goes on to more briefly describe the lives and careers of six other female physicians, all of whom have faced similar obstacles. Some, like Dr. Heider, have decided to retire from the practice of medicine. Others have found ways to make medical careers work for their families. Each story provides further insight. All women, working or otherwise, will identify with the emotionally charged decisions every woman must make about the type of mother she will be. Dr. Heider then delineates the many problems our American health care system currently faces. Specifically, she cites antiquated training programs, unaffordable medical care, a health care delivery system mired in bureaucracy, and the ongoing medical malpractice crisis. The Rise and Fall of Dr. Mom offers thoughtful solutions, professional insights, and an optimistic plan for the future.

Book Description
Women have been disappearing, snatched off the streets in the early morning hours. One body has been found. The pressure is on to find the perpetrator and put a stop to this. It’s bad enough that Jesse Damon is paroled on a murder conviction, and the police take a serious look at him whenever there’s trouble in the neighborhood. But when two girls report an attempted carjacking at three in the morning, and Jesse is picked up walking on the street a few blocks away, things go downhill fast. One of the girls identifies him as the person responsible. The detective in charge of the case is sure he has it wrapped up. No one checks into Jesse’s alibis for most of the abductions, or looks for the true culprit. Jesse has one advantage over the cops—he knows he didn’t do it. And if the real abductor isn’t found soon, that positive ID is going to land him back in prison...

With Bride’s Dream Expo in town, it’s all things wedding in Crystal Cove, including at the Cookbook Nook, where owner Jenna Hart is preparing for her own wedding in just a few short weeks. But there’s a dark cloud hanging over the festive mood by the name of Sarita Strachline, a woman Jenna helped convict of arson who is now out of jail and bent on revenge. And when Jenna and Rhett’s intimate prenuptial dinner is rocked by an explosion that nearly takes Rhett’s life, Jenna can’t help but think Sarita is to blame. Desperate to prove Sarita’s guilt but consumed by worries over Rhett’s condition, Jenna reluctantly lays her case out for the police and leaves the investigation in their methodical hands. Still, she can’t help piecing together the clues, and as the evidence begins to mount, Jenna realizes that revenge may be a dish best served cold, but she can cook up a scheme of her own to bring the culprit to justice—she just has to hope it doesn’t blow up in her face . . .
