Book Description
Desperate to make her debut in society before another claims the affection of the man she loves, Daisy Gerard finds herself unexpectedly captivated by the enigmatic Lord Ashford. Daisy Gerard, spirited and unabashedly outspoken, had no intention of spending her time with the sophisticated mother of her country neighbor, the elusive Lord Ashford. Her goal was to enjoy her season and win over the man who had once vowed to marry her. But then Daisy finds herself falling for the irksome Ash, drawn to a man who listens to every unfiltered thought she shares, understanding her in ways she hadn't anticipated. Tasked with the guardianship of two young orphans, Ash has his hands full, leaving little room for Daisy's disruptive presence in his life. Yet, Daisy's knack for embracing life's absurdities and her adeptness at resolving dilemmas for others—though rarely for herself—brings an unexpected harmony to his world. Can Ash win her heart before it's claimed by another?

Book Description
A gripping, all-access biography of Joe Frazier, whose rivalry with Muhammad Ali riveted boxing fans and whose legacy as a figure in American sports and society endures History will remember the rivalry of Joe Frazier and Muhammad Ali as one for the ages, a trilogy of extraordinary fights that transcended the world of sports and crossed into a sociocultural drama that divided the country. Joe Frazier was a much more complex figure than just his rivalry with Ali would suggest. In this riveting and nuanced portrayal, acclaimed sports writer Mark Kram, Jr. unlinks Frazier from Ali and for the first time gives a full-bodied accounting of Frazier’s life, a journey that began as the youngest of thirteen children packed in small farm house, encountering the bigotry and oppression of the Jim Crow South, and continued with his voyage north at age fifteen to develop as a fighter in Philadelphia. Tracing Frazier’s life through his momentous bouts with the likes of Ali and George Foreman and the developing perception of him as the anti-Ali in the eyes of blue-collar America, Kram follows the boxer through his retirement in 1981, exploring his relationship with his son, the would-be heavyweight Marvis, and his fragmented home life as well as the uneasy place that Ali continued to occupy in his thoughts. A propulsive and richly textured narrative that is also a powerful story about race and class in America, Smokin' Joe is unparalleled in its scope, depth, and access and promises to be the definitive biography of a towering American figure whose life was galvanized by conflict and whose mark has proven lasting.

Book Description
Eloisa James returns to the Wildes of Lindow Castle series with the next Wilde child who runs and joins a theatre troupe -- and the duke who tries to save her reputation. He wants a prim and proper duchess, not the Wildest of the Wildes! Already notorious for the golden hair that proves her mother’s infidelity, Lady Joan can’t seem to avoid scandals, but her latest escapade may finally ruin her: she’s determined to perform the title role of a prince—in breeches, naturally. She has the perfect model for an aristocratic male in mind: Thaddeus Erskine Shaw, Viscount Greywick, a man who scorned the very idea of marrying her. Not that Joan would want such a dubious honor, of course. For years, Thaddeus has avoided the one Wilde who shakes his composure, but he’s horrified when he grasps the danger Joan’s putting herself in. Staring into her defiant eyes, he makes the grim vow that he’ll keep her safe. He strikes a bargain: after one performance, the lady must return to her father’s castle and marry one of three gentlemen whom he deems acceptable. Not including him, of course.

Book Description
These fascinating tales have been passed down from generation to generation. Some are legends associated with local places around Colgate and St. Leonard's Forest in Sussex, England and some feature a race of 'super humans' with extra powers of strength, sight, hearing and more. Many have a moral lesson for the greedy, dishonest or vain, and of course there are kings, princes, princesses and happy endings. There is a local equivalent of the Greek myth of Icarus, who wanted to fly and a deeply symbolic myth of the tramp who has forgotten his true nature. It is uncertain how far back these tales originate and what their heritage is but they are an important part of local Sussex culture. While they were originally told on dark evenings before electricity brought light and instant entertainment, these stories continue to have a timeless appeal for adults and children alike.
