Book Description
Isolated 70 miles west of Key West, the islands of Dry Tortugas National Park appear to arise as if by magic, floating atop the waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Discovered by Juan Ponce de León over 500 years ago, Tortugas is North America's second-oldest persistent place name. The adjacent Florida Strait provided essential passageway for navies, ships of commerce, pirates, and privateers. Its reefs claimed hundreds of ships over the centuries. The nation's largest masonry fort, Fort Jefferson, secured Union control of the Florida Strait during the Civil War and served as the infamous prison for Dr. Samuel Mudd and other convicted Lincoln conspirators. Its waters, coral reefs, and aquatic life remain among the most biologically intact in North America. Seabird species nest here that nest nowhere else on the continent. The Tortugas has attracted generations of naturalists, scientists, fishermen, divers, birders, and other visitors. The islands and waters of the Dry Tortugas remain today remote, historic, and biologically pristine.

Meet Diane, a permaculture gardener dripping with butch charm.

Where better to begin than with four housewives in a suburban New Jersey cul-de-sac?

Book Description
To Have and Have Not is the dramatic, brutal story of Harry Morgan, an honest boat owner who is forced into running contraband between Cuba and Key West as a means of keeping his crumbling family financially afloat. His adventures lead him into the world of the wealthy and dissipated yachtsmen who swarm the region, and involve him in a strange and unlikely love affair. In this harshly realistic, yet oddly tender and wise novel, Hemingway perceptively delineates the personal struggles of both the “haves” and the “have nots” and creates one of the most subtle and moving portraits of a love affair in his oeuvre. In turn funny and tragic, lively and poetic, remarkable in its emotional impact, To Have and Have Not takes literary high adventure to a new level. As the Times Literary Supplement observed, “Hemingway's gift for dialogue, for effective understatement, and for communicating such emotions the tough allow themselves, has never been more conspicuous.”

Book Description
Two novels of sizzling romantic suspense set in the steamy Florida Keys from a New York Times–bestselling author who “always entertains” (Heather Graham). In one volume, two gripping novels from Meryl Sawyer, who “writes romantic suspense that keeps you turning pages with lightning speed” (New York Times–bestselling author Kristin Hannah). Half Moon Bay: Her safety in the witness protection program suddenly compromised, Amy Conroy is on the run until a car accident lands her in a Key West Hospital. When she’s mistaken for the dead driver, Amy undergoes reconstructive surgery and steps into the strange woman’s identity—and a passionate and risky relationship with a handsome investigative journalist. But her new life as Shelly Ralston is much more treacherous than she bargained for, and a madman with murder in mind has his eye on her. Thunder Island: A dedicated member of Miami’s K9 search-and-rescue unit, Jennifer Whitmore is in Key West for an antiterrorism unit when she finds herself face-to-face with the man she once loved. The unexpected reunion awakens a desire they’d both thought long dead, complicating the task at hand when the pair must join forces to rescue a missing child. Neither of them anticipates the twisted tangle of lies they will uncover at an elite resort—or the disturbing secrets someone will kill to keep.

When Consolidated’s forces bring out a living weapon of unimaginable destructive power, they will all have to rely on centuries-old prophecies that appear to foretell the outcome of the impending conflict.
