Book Description
There's a new girl in the small town of River Bend, Montana - a pretty little thing from the city who doesn't know her heifers from her steers. Or her good guys from her f*cked up ex-Marines. Her name is Tia Kinsley and she's nothing like the girls in River Bend. Proud, smart and gorgeous, she's a fish out of water with a habit of getting into sitcom-style scrapes. Not that I have any interest in rescuing her from those scrapes... The last thing I came out here to the middle of nowhere to do is fall in love. Two brutal tours in Iraq left me broken and haunted, unfit for human companionship. Besides, I've got everything I need - my livestock, my property and my faithful dog, Beau. I've got rules, too. No relationships that last longer than a single night, for one. No local girls. No entanglements. Until one hot summer night when I catch a fleeting glimpse of something familiar in Tia's dark eyes. I know that look. I see it every day, staring back at me in the mirror. Hurt. Loss. So it turns out maybe I'm not the only one in pain. Maybe the world doesn't revolve around me. And maybe - just maybe - being with her is like feeling the rain on my face after years in the desert. I'm not fit for any of this and I know it - not fit for love or kindness or the sweet tenderness with which she treats me. For Tia's own good - and even as her breathless little sighs still ring in my ears - I can't let her in. But I can't seem to stay away, either, and the closer we dance to the cliff's edge, the tighter I hold on... Not your usual Bad Boy, this 70k standalone romance is a good old-fashioned love story - with lots of steam, no cliffhangers and a heart-melting HEA guaranteed!

A marriage of convenience becomes so much more... Dorian Lambert has a problem. His grandfather is dying, and the vast fortune he stands to inherit has been compromised by one little detail: Dorian must marry and produce an heir in order to receive it.

Georgia Deveraux-Gigi, to her friends-has her own problems to worry about. Graduating from Harvard law school left her deep in debt, but when she lands a spot at a prestigious law firm handling the Lambert estate, Dorian makes her an offer she can't refuse. Love wasn't supposed to be part of the bargain. Now Dorian and Gigi must decide if their unconventional marriage can ever amount to something more.

First Ladies
Author: Betty Caroli
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0199752826
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 495
Book Description
Betty Boyd Caroli's engrossing and informative First Ladies is both a captivating read and an essential resource for anyone interested in the role of America's First Ladies. This expanded and updated fourth edition includes Laura Bush's tenure, Hillary Clinton's 2008 presidential bid, and an in-depth look at Michelle Obama, one of the most charismatic and appealing First Ladies in recent history. Covering all forty-one women from Martha Washington to Michelle Obama and including the daughters, daughters-in-law, and sisters of presidents who sometimes served as First Ladies, Caroli explores each woman's background, marriage, and accomplishments and failures in office. This remarkably diverse lot included Abigail Adams, whose "remember the ladies" became a twentieth-century feminist refrain; Jane Pierce, who prayed her husband would lose the election; Helen Taft, who insisted on living in the White House, although her husband would have preferred a judgeship; Eleanor Roosevelt, who epitomized the politically involved First Lady; and Pat Nixon, who perfected what some have called "the robot image." They ranged in age from early 20s to late 60s; some received superb educations for their time, while others had little or no schooling. Including the courageous and adventurous, the emotionally unstable, the ambitious, and the reserved, these women often did not fit the traditional expectations of a presidential helpmate. Here then is an engaging portrait of how each First Lady changed the role and how the role changed in response to American culture. These women left remarkably complete records, and their stories offer us a window through which to view not only this particular sorority of women, but also American women in general. "Impressive...Caroli's profiles and observations of American first ladies and their relationship to the media are intelligent and perceptive." --Philadelphia Inquirer
