Book Description
A fake boyfriend seems the perfect way for Laina to protect herself from another broken heart, but when she’s haunted by a kiss, it’s time to take matters into her own hands. Laina Cox didn’t set out to be Jeremy Wilson’s fake girlfriend, but it does seem the easiest way to satisfy both their matchmaking mothers—especially when the man who once broke her heart is coming to town. What better way to protect herself than with a handsome, hardworking farmer for a boyfriend? Besides, she’s still wondering if there might be something behind the kiss she shared with Jeremy at the Harvest Festival kissing booth—an experience that she’d definitely like to repeat. What she doesn’t count on is that her former flame, Seth Lawson, is all grown up now, both handsome and successful, and ready to make all her dreams come true. Can she trust him with her heart? And what about Jeremy? He’s just a friend, right? Surely that Harvest Festival kiss was simply a fluke. Maybe it’s time to take matters into her own hands and put her theory to the test. Welcome to the small town of Forgotten, where people are more concerned about who you are now than what you might have left behind. Each of the novels in this series are stand-alone books, and you can read them in any order. However, the characters are like one big, extended family and often appear in many of the books, so by reading all of them, you can catch up with what your favorite characters are doing now. What people are say about the series: “Kiss at Midnight is evocative, revealing, and hard to put down. Its realistic dilemmas and character growth powers a story that is compelling and involving.” –D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review "This clean romance has just the right amount of mystery to keep you turning the pages. The ending is completely satisfying with exactly the right blend of sweet and passion to thrill lovers of wholesome romance.” A Town Called Forgotten: Kiss at Midnight This Feeling for You Reason to Breathe Everything About You Never Letting Go

Be Solid Gold: Transforming Your Fear & Living a Life You Love
Author: Lanie Smith
Publisher: KALA
ISBN:
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 383
Book Description
This book is about play. It is also about self permission and spiritual as well as emotional evolution. This book is an invitation for you to find your own resourceful nature and power through curiosity and an attitude of play to live life as a work of art and adventurous game. It has bits and pieces of my journey weaved throughout with inspiration and activities for you to design a life you love. Like a sad puppy waiting to be loved, the inner child longs for more expression, and so this was a gift of creation to her previously denied by the inner perfectionist not willing to take the risk of “failure,” which, of course, is an illusion. To move past this insidious pattern, I granted myself the space and permission to do less of what I thought I ‘should’ do and more of what I wanted, thus changing my life for the better. I am no longer the person who sat down to write her first book; a book about the freedom to be fully expressed. May it inspire the same transformation for you.

Liguria
Author: Rosie Whitehouse
Publisher: Bradt Travel Guides
ISBN: 1804692794
Category : Travel
Languages : en
Pages : 360
Book Description
This new, thoroughly updated fourth edition of Bradt’s award-winning guide to Liguria is the essential companion to getting the most out of a visit to this beguiling Italian region. Author Rosie Whitehouse has spent over thirty years exploring Liguria. In her wide-ranging guide, she introduces you to not just the glitz of the Riviera but also to the charm of the little-known, wild hinterland and mountain valleys, including in-depth coverage of local gastronomic delights – a key element of any Ligurian visit. Liguria is a rugged region of dizzy passes and breathtaking views, where mountains plunge into the sparkling blue waters of the Mediterranean. The coastal strip includes the world-famous Italian Riviera, the great port city of Genoa, the resort of Portofino, the charming Cinque Terre, and more Blue Flag beaches than any other Italian region. In the hinterland there are many beautiful villages and mountain walks that have yet to be discovered by tourists – perfect for adventurous travellers who want a taste of the real Italy. This fourth edition covers new, high-class hotels and Michelin-starred restaurants that reflect Liguria’s rising status as a luxury destination – but, blessedly, one that doesn’t always come with an expensive price tag. Also new in this edition is information on the new marina Ventimiglia (which coincides with the growth in superyachts locally), wildlife (including whale- and dolphin-spotting, and the return of wolves), travel infrastructure (including new Nightjet trains to Munich and Vienna plus a high-speed train to Naples, and up-to-date advice on car parking, which can be tricky in parts of Liguria) and Genoa’s new Museum of Emigration. With its mild climate, Liguria is a fabulous year-round destination with a strong regional identity of its own. Whether you’re a gourmet traveller in search of pesto, trofie and freshly baked focaccia, a history buff on the hunt for Roman remains, a culture addict dazzled by Genoa’s glittering palazzi and top-class museums, a hiker seeking a mountain escape, or a family heading for a well-earned beach-based break, Bradt’s Liguria is the ideal guide for travellers of all ages and all budgets.
