New York Times bestselling author Mary Alice Monroe's Southern-set classic Beach House Memories, the sequel to The Beach House, now a Hallmark Channel movie starring Andie MacDowell! Autumn brings haunting beauty to the sun-soaked dunes on Isle of Palms, where Lovie Rutledge lives in her beloved Primrose Cottage. As seasons change, Lovie remembers one special summer… In 1974, America is changing, but Charleston remains eternally the same. When Lovie married aristocratic businessman Stratton Rutledge, she turned over her fortune and fate to his control. But she refused to relinquish one thing: her family’s old seaside cottage. Precious summers with her children are Lovie’s refuge from social expectations and her husband’s philandering. Here, she is the “Turtle Lady,” tending the loggerhead turtles that lay eggs in the warm night sand and then slip back into the sea. In the summer of ’74, biologist Russell Bennett visits to research the loggerheads. Their shared interest soon blooms into a passionate, profound love—forcing Lovie to face an agonizing decision. Stratton’s influence is far-reaching, and if she dares to dream beyond a summer affair, she risks losing her reputation, her wealth, even her children. This emotional tale of a strong woman torn between duty and desire, between tradition and change, is an empowering journey through the seasons of self-discovery. Until this autumn, this time of winds and tides, of holding on and letting go…

Book Description
When a bluestocking bent on ruining rogues and a devilish duke set on revenge attempt to derail each other’s plans, passion erupts into a love for the ages. After being left brokenhearted by a duplicitous rake, Lady Anne Adair no longer desires a husband—she wants justice. She’s traded in her foolish dream of happily-ever-after for the much more sensible one of thwarting the blackhearted lords who prey on innocent debutantes. But her first mission proves rather complicated when the dashing Duke of Kilmartin comes to the aid of her target. Simon Sedgewick, the newly titled Duke of Kilmartin, never thought he would return to England, let alone attend a ball full of simpering lords. But when his oldest friend’s reputation is being smeared and Simon discovers that the perpetrator is none other than his enemy’s granddaughter, his long-festering desire for vengeance flares to life. The moment Simon spies Miss Anne Adair across the glittering ballroom, he knows that the ravishing beauty is the perfect instrument for the retribution he thought lost to him. He does not know, however, that Anne has devised a scheme of her own. And soon, these two wary hearts will discover that the best laid plans are no match for love.

Christ Is All That Matters
Author: Phillip Brown
Publisher: WestBow Press
ISBN: 1664287973
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 445
Book Description
Phillip Brown’s life changed forever on a May evening in 2005. He fell twenty-six feet from a roof gable, landing on his shoulders and head. He survived. Twelve staples closed the head wound, but the worst damage was invisible, tucked within the complex webs of his brain. A traumatic brain injury stole everything he thought was his, gifts he took for granted. He began journaling. In Christ Is All That Matters, Brown offers a compilation of essays written in the black of morning, his first waking hours with the God he loves. Chronicling his journey with Christ, he shares the goodness of God at work in his life and tells how God used tragedy to transform his walk with God. Brown puts his heart on paper—his fragility, failures, sorrows, joys, and his hopes and dreams, the conversations he has with God. Every essay engages a singular desire. Each encourages one and all to embrace the God who loves them, the God who keeps them, the God who knows them by name.
