Languages : en
Pages : 321
Book Description
Two people make a wager on who can find love first, not realizing what they should be betting on is each other, in this new romantic comedy by Lynn Painter, New York Times bestselling author of Mr. Wrong Number. Hallie Piper is turning over a new leaf. After belly-crawling out of a hotel room (hello, rock bottom), she decides it’s time to become a full-on adult. She gets a new apartment, a new haircut, and a new wardrobe, but when she logs onto the dating app that she has determined will find her new love, she sees none other than Jack, the guy whose room she snuck out of. After agreeing they are absolutely not interested in each other, Jack and Hallie realize they’re each other’s perfect wing-person in their searches for The One. They text each other about their dates, often scheduling them at the same restaurant so that if things don’t go well, the two of them can get tacos afterward. Spoiler: they get a lot of tacos together. Discouraged by the lack of prospects, Jack and Hallie make a wager to see who can find true love first, but when they agree to be fake dates for a weekend wedding, all bets are off. As they pretend to be a couple, lines become blurred and they both struggle to remember why the other was a bad idea to begin with.

What to Do When I'm Gone
Author: Suzy Hopkins
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 1632869683
Category : Comics & Graphic Novels
Languages : en
Pages : 146
Book Description
A mother's advice to her daughter--a guide to daily living, both practical and sublime--with full-color illustrations throughout. One sleepless night while she was in her early twenties, illustrator/writer Hallie Bateman had a painful realization: her mom would die, and after she died she would be gone. The prospect was devastating, and also scary--how would she navigate the world without the person who gave her life? She thought about all the motherly advice she would miss--advice that could help her through the challenges to come, including the ordeal of losing a parent. The next day, Hallie asked her mother, writer Suzy Hopkins, to record step-by-step instructions for her to follow in the event of her mom's death. The list began: "Pour yourself a stiff glass of whiskey and make some fajitas" and continued from there, walking Hallie through the days, months, and years of life after loss, with motherly guidance and support, addressing issues great and small--from choosing a life partner to baking a quiche. The project became a way for mother and daughter to connect with humor, openness, and gratitude. It led to this book. Combining Suzy's wit and heartfelt advice with Hallie's quirky and colorful style, What to Do When I'm Gone is the illustrated instruction manual for getting through life without one's mom. It's also a poignant look at loss, love, and taking things one moment at a time. By turns whimsical, funny, touching, and above all pragmatic, it will leave readers laughing and teary-eyed. And it will spur conversations that enrich family members' understanding of one another.

The White Cascade
Author: Gary Krist
Publisher: Henry Holt and Company
ISBN: 1429905700
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 356
Book Description
The never-before-told story of one of the worst rail disasters in U.S. history in which two trains full of people, trapped high in the Cascade Mountains, are hit by a devastating avalanche In February 1910, a monstrous blizzard centered on Washington State hit the Northwest, breaking records. The world stopped—but nowhere was the danger more terrifying than near a tiny town called Wellington, perched high in the Cascade Mountains, where a desperate situation evolved minute by minute: two trainloads of cold, hungry passengers and their crews found themselves marooned without escape, their railcars gradually being buried in the rising drifts. For days, an army of the Great Northern Railroad's most dedicated men—led by the line's legendarily courageous superintendent, James O'Neill—worked round-the-clock to rescue the trains. But the storm was unrelenting, and to the passenger's great anxiety, the railcars—their only shelter—were parked precariously on the edge of a steep ravine. As the days passed, food and coal supplies dwindled. Panic and rage set in as snow accumulated deeper and deeper on the cliffs overhanging the trains. Finally, just when escape seemed possible, the unthinkable occurred: the earth shifted and a colossal avalanche tumbled from the high pinnacles, sweeping the trains and their sleeping passengers over the steep slope and down the mountainside. Centered on the astonishing spectacle of our nation's deadliest avalanche, Gary Krist's The White Cascade is the masterfully told story of a supremely dramatic and never-before-documented American tragedy. An adventure saga filled with colorful and engaging history, this is epic narrative storytelling at its finest.

Book Description
Books 16-21 in Betty McLain's 'Love's Magic' series of sweet and wholesome romance, now available in one volume! Love's Voice: Mariam Janice Semp was on the run - someone wanted her dead. The voice in her head had kept her alive; others weren’t so fortunate. Darrin, her older brother, was off serving in the army. She tried to reach him, but he was off base, so all she could do was leave a message. When Alex received the call from his brother, asking to help a friend find a missing sister, he happily agreed to help. As a private investigator, this was what he did. He had no idea how personal the case would become. But with dangers all around and powerful people conspiring to see Mariam dead, will his team and the help of a few guardian angels be enough to keep everyone safe? Love's Helper: She loved him from the time they were children, but Sandy never treated Minnie as anything other than an honorary little sister. Still, Minnie held out hope that one day they could be more. Then her guardian angel prompted her to seek help. With her brother missing there was only one place left to go. Sandy listened to the fearful plea for help and jumped into action, as he would for any friend in need, but the feelings he had for Minnie were not that of simple friends. Thrust together by fate, the love they each held in secret bubbled under the surface. But before they could be together, he had to find a way to keep her safe. Love's Tuna Salad: Stan worked for Avorn Security: a group protecting the innocent from many threats, including the witch hunters. He never expected to find the hunters stalking one of their own. Rissa watched Stan from the safety of her window, until the day he rescued her from those who would do her harm. With many young girls in the cross-hairs, Avorn’s team must work fast if they hope to dismantle the threat. But who is the Preacher, and how many has he influenced to do his dark work? Love's Vigilante: Avorn Security Building was an unusual place to work. Everyone who worked in the building went through a vetting process. You couldn’t be too careful, when most of the staff could hear the voice of their guardian angels. Even among the strange, Taylor and Becky stood out. Born in a hidden city and possessing unusual abilities, they were taught to hide their gifts and tread carefully. But Taylor couldn’t help herself. Disillusioned by the disappointment of one too many men, she reached down and drew on the powers inside. The powers of the Vigilante. Love's Dilemma: Selma grew up protected, hidden from the world. She was expected to live out her life in that place, but one look at the face of her true love, reflected back to her in her family’s magic mirror, and she knew her future was somewhere else. Sal was no stranger to unusual abilities. He shared the gift of hearing the guardian angels. So, when his angel told him Selma was his true love, he believed it, but she was still young. He didn’t want to rush her into a serious relationship before she was ready. They agreed to take things slow, but sometimes destiny has other plans. Love's Familiar Face: Boy meets girl, gets married, has children. That’s the plan. But real life can be a bit more complicated. Cory and Cole were twins, separated in infancy. But they had a bond that would not be broken. Determined to see his boys reunited, their father kept the connection alive and waited for the right time to act. Ellie and Ellen were sisters on divergent paths. Unaware of the other, they lived their lives, always feeling something was missing. Destined for lives different from the ones they knew, would fate find a way to bring them back together?

Book Description
Tempt Me, Your Grace She was banished from England…and she banished him from her heart. Upon her return to England following her father’s death, Miss Ava Knight becomes the owner of one of the largest racehorse estates in the country. There’s only one problem: the future of the estate requires a strong breeding program with the services of a stallion named, Titan. A shame that the horse is owned by a man she swore to never see again. The Duke of Whitstone, Tate Wells, was heartbroken when Ava abandoned him on the night of their elopement, and he vowed to never lay eyes on Ava again. Despite Tate’s unwillingness to forgive Ava, she comes to his aid during a deliberately lit fire at his estate. Someone is determined to destroy them. Now, the two are forced to work together to ensure the safety of their horses and their homes. Will their previous feelings for each other rekindle their love, or will their feelings stall out at the starting gates? Hellion at Heart Sifting through the sands in the Middle East while learning of ancient cultures and buried civilizations is all Miss Hallie Evans dreams about. But when an impending scandal forces her back to England, her hopes and dreams are destroyed. Now, as a hired archaeologist for the rich, Hallie explores and studies the ancient ruins excavated on their properties. The Viscount of Duncannon, Arthur Howard, was beguiled after a chance encounter with Miss Hallie Evans several years ago. She left an impression on him that never faded. But when their paths cross again, Arthur is determined to win Hallie’s heart this time around—at all costs. But as Hallie’s buried secrets begin to surface, neither can stop society from unearthing the truth. Now, Arthur must choose between love and family duty. Can Hallie cease those who threaten her livelihood for a real chance at true love? Dare to be Scandalous After inheriting a small fortune, Willow Perry has everything she’s ever wanted. Except a husband, that is. But not just any husband will do. She’s looking for a grand love—someone who will challenge and excite her. It’s just her folly that the one man who interests her is a notorious rake. He’s as wild and passionate as Willow is sheltered and staid. Love between such polar opposites would be impossible … wouldn’t it? Abraham Blackwood has devoted his life to the pursuit of pleasure. He’s perfectly happy to run his gaming den and ignore the expectations of society. But meeting the lovely Willow gives him another goal. Revenge. Making her pay for the sins her family committed against his will be easy. Ignoring how much he wants her—not only beneath him, but at his side, forever? That might prove to be infinitely more difficult. When Willow discovers Abraham’s true intentions, can the fragile bonds they’ve begun to form survive? Or will the cards remain firmly stacked against their happily ever after?
