Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
Beloved author Sandra Chastain ignites a simmering story of two passionate souls who discover what happens when fate deals the cards. Katie Carithers walks onto the riverboat casino Scarlet Lady with just one intention: win enough money to pay off her brother’s debts and save her family’s Louisiana plantation. A no-nonsense accountant by day, Katie decides that tonight she’ll wear a tiny red dress and be a sexy gambler—albeit one with an uncanny head for numbers and odds. But when Katie lays eyes on the handsome owner of the Scarlet Lady, all bets are off, as he quickly threatens to take more than her money with his roguish charm. The man everyone simply calls “Montana” runs his Mississippi River casino like the tightest ship in the navy. But the night the brunette in the red dress appears, Montana feels his steely control waver. He’s never been so overwhelmed by a woman, not since he lost the courage to love years before. When the woman in red wins, Montana suspects that she has cheated—and just like that, one hand of poker ignites a passion play with the highest of stakes: two hearts. Includes a special message from the editor, as well as excerpts from these Loveswept titles: Flirting with Disaster, Taking Shots, and Long Simmering Spring.

A man so gorgeous herds of thong-wearing women flock to him, a woman who has no intentions of putting up with his shenanigans, and a teen who brings new meaning to the word eccentric...welcome to the Billionaire Marriage Club. Bela Turner is a former teacher fallen on hard times. Now she’s working loss prevention at a department store where she’s a hair’s breadth away from losing even that job. But when a fourteen year old named Catarina storms into her life trailing chaos, Bela thinks things couldn’t get worse…until she meets Izán, Cat’s drop-dead gorgeous Spanish father. Now he’s all Bela can think about, which is problematic considering women are all but dripping off him. Izán is the only child of an eccentric Spanish family, one that desperately wants to see him remarried. Izán is no fool, however, and one bad arranged marriage was enough for him. But recently, it’s become clear that his daughter Cat desperately needs more than the companions, tutors, and coaches he provides, and instead, starts thinking of finding a nice maternal woman who can help him take Cat's chaotic life in hand. Izán is completely unprepared by his instant desire for the delectable woman who involves him with one of Cat’s crazy plans, but he recognizes that Bela isn’t like the other women who flock to him. While he’s perfectly comfortable with the idea of their instant attraction, Bela doesn’t seem to be of the same mind...which is a problem considering she has become integral in his life, and without her, he would forever regret what could have been. Now Izán and Cat must convince Bela that her life will be infinitely improved by joining their family…even with her weird taxidermied animal collection. Cherish is the third book in a series of instalove romcoms, and is written by New York Times bestselling author Katie MacAlister using a super secret pen name. Shhh. It’ll be our secret.

Corfu; Cat Tales under Lockdown - a diary
Author: Lynne Sayer
Publisher: Lynne Sayer
ISBN:
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
A cancelled flight opened a new chapter in Lynne's life. Along with her husband she was 'stranded' on the beautiful island of Corfu, Greece. For the first time in her 75 years, this wife and grandmother of 10 had time to herself. This was a unique period in Lynne's life and a dramatic time in the history of the world. Covid19 was dislocating and destroying the lives of so many people. Against the backdrop of the pandemic Lynne was able to draw positivity and simple pleasures from her beautiful surroundings and, most importantly of all, derive great joy and delight from the local cat population. A review of the book from Dr Lee Durrell: ' This book is about cats, of course, enchanting and extraordinary creatures that they are, each with its own loveable character and temperament. It is also about the magic of Corfu - its profusion of spring wildflowers, melodies of sheep bells and centuries-old traditions. But there is much more going on here. Lynne Sayer’s diary ranges from current global events to deeply personal ones. We hear about covid, Brexit and threats to American democracy, as well as the doings of her children and grandchildren in lockdown England. This is well worth a read as a chronicle of our times….and for cat-lovers everywhere. The modest purchase price goes towards improving the lives of stray cats and kittens in Lynne’s region of Corfu. The book ends with a heartfelt appeal to contribute to the work of Kassiopi Cats Meow, which is “the best way to help the brave little cats”. I, for one, could not resist it!

One Foot in Heaven
Author: David Waltner-Toews
Publisher: Coteau Books
ISBN: 9781550503128
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
A brilliantly-written collection of linked short stories presenting the interconnected lives, and world views, of several Mennonite families in Winnipeg and northern Alberta. One Foot in Heaven opens and closes with Prom Koslowski, a character who flees murderous bandits in Russia, gains twin babies and loses their mother on a torturous journey through the mountains into India, and finally makes a life for himself and his children in rural northern Alberta. His children go to Mennonite high school in Winnipeg, and go on to missionary and other work in their adult lives. In various ways, they are both drawn to the South East Asian region of their beginnings. They interact with a host of other characters as they grow - the innocent veterinarian Ab Dueck, the enigmatic Jael Freed, Ab's best friend George, whose own spiritual views differ so oddly despite arising from the same roots. In the fashion of much Mennonite writing, David Waltner-Toews uses both humour and pathos to present his characters juggling matters of the flesh and of the spirit in their quest for the true purpose of their lives and the best way to serve their god.
