21-year-old Jonas Boulware has come home to Copernicus, his small southern town, after serving as a medic in the Middle East, where he was severely wounded performing a heroic act. As his body heals, he keeps memories of the trauma at bay. He doesn't remember and doesn't intend to. He is home, trying to figure out who he has become and how he can deal with it. But trauma assails him in Copernicus, too: an abusive father and a mother who bears the burden of a long-ago family scandal. He renews friendships - a high school classmate, a physician/mentor, and the Black owner of a golf course. An instinctual caregiver, Jonas takes in (and falls in love with) a down-on-her-luck young folksinger, he tries to rescue a teenaged boy from his squalid, dangerous home life. But bits and pieces of his wartime trauma intrude in nightmares and flashbacks, until he admits that he suffers from PTSD and must come to grips with it to survive. With help from friends and an unorthodox counselor, he takes steps toward facing his past and moving into his profoundly altered present and future. In doing so, Jonas uncovers secrets from his past that cast new and hopeful light on his new normal.

Alaska Airline Captain Robert Pfeil was the scion of an Alaskan pioneer family. His sister Muriel was a winner in her own right. Owner of Alaska's most successful travel agency, routinely voted one of the best dressed women in Anchorage, she was worldly in a city better known for its sourdoughs and roughnecks. On September 30, 1976, a vehicle explosion rocked downtown Anchorage. When the dust settled, Muriel Pfeil was trapped in the driver's seat. Dead. Her brother immediately blamed Neil Mackay, Muriel's estranged ex-husband-a multi-millionaire lawyer and real estate mogul. Robert Pfeil knew the motive: Mackay wanted custody of the couple's only son, three-year-old Scotty. Pfeil acted quickly, snatching up Scotty, intent on spiriting him away from his reclusive father. That worked for a while. After young Scotty was kidnapped by his father, however, Robert Pfeil led a global chase to retrieve him. A chase that ultimately ended with Robert Pfeil's tragic death at the hands of contract killers.

Lest one forget pleasure is a human right, Evelyn Berry edges the reader toward that realization-again, and again, and again-in T4T. Of course, pleasure is sexual, the way that lovers "pretend our freckles honeysuckle." But it's not just sexual; it's beyond sexual. It is the pleasure of life, of embodiment, of safety, and of care and attention. (The latter of which are two descriptors I could easily also apply to Berry's craft. Those line breaks, like a switchblade surprise!) And the title says who the pleasure is for, and with whom the pleasure is shared: trans for trans, that delectable "erotic symmetry." But pleasure, unlike some romantic notions of it, isn't best when it is fleeting."

Humans have used nature as a source of healing for thousands of years. Plants, roots, and herbs were the main source of cures prior to the dominance of modern medicine; they provided protection, food, and healing. By watching the effects of leaves, blossoms, and roots and passing this information down through the centuries, each society evolved its unique understanding of herbal medicine. These customs acknowledged that balance-in the body, mind, and spirit-is the source of genuine wellbeing and that nature offers the means to attain it. But a lot of this knowledge has been lost in the modern day. Many people now suffer from chronic stress, digestive problems, hormone imbalances, and decreased immunity as a result of modern lives, synthetic medications, and a disengagement from natural cycles. However, the same plants that our ancestors used could still hold the key to the solution. Discover this age-old pharmacy in your own house with the help of The Lost Art of Herbal Healing Handbook. It is a health concept as well as a useful manual, providing methods and resources for safely and successfully using the power of herbs. Herbalism is the knowledge of the body's inherent intelligence and ability to heal when supported, not only the use of plant medicines. In addition to treating symptoms, herbs support resilience, energy, and balance in our systems. With instructions on how to choose herbs, make teas, tinctures, salves, syrups, and tonics, as well as how to customize treatments to meet your specific requirements, this guidebook enables you to reestablish a connection with this knowledge. Herbal therapy is a way of life that goes beyond recipes and preparations. It promotes integrating activities that promote emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being, selecting whole foods as medicine, and living in harmony with seasonal cycles. The benefits of herbs are enhanced by mindful exercise, breathwork, and meditation, which enables the body to completely react to natural assistance. Herbal medicine is a responsible and regenerative approach that requires respect for the plants themselves as well as ethical harvesting, sustainable cultivation, and adherence to cultural traditions. Whether you are new to herbs or want to expand your practice, this guide is meant to be both thorough and engaging. You will discover tactics for long-term vitality, cures for common illnesses, and instructions for developing customized herbal formulae that take care of both urgent r

From the author of the beloved international bestseller The Borrowed Life of Frederick Fife comes a heart-stirring novel about family, second chances, and the lengths we go for those we love, following a woman fighting to hold onto life and her older brother who's rediscovering reasons to embrace it.

Retired Michelin-star chef Griff Barlow has lost his appetite. He's done with grief, guilt and the beige slop they dare call food at Sunny Glen Aged Care Facility, where he now resides.

Six decades of life have given him all the lemons he can handle, so he breaks into the nursing home kitchen to bake himself one last tart. It's supposed to be his final meal but the act of cooking stirs a dormant joy. Soon, he's regularly sneaking in after dark, serving up flavor and comfort to fellow residents, who, in turn, begin to come alive with each bite of Griff's delicious concoctions. Yet behind the apron is a lie so big it could destroy the one thing Griff has left to protect.

Lisa, Griff's younger sister and sole visitor, is navigating a midlife ADHD diagnosis, the spark of a new romance, and unexpected news that may change life as she knows it. Despite their fractured sibling relationship, she continues to show up, though hope of a reconciliation between the two is long gone, buried in the silence between them.

But the truth has a way of boiling over, and when secrets, soufflés, and second chances collide, Griff and Lisa may discover a recipe for forgiveness.

Heartfelt and inspiring, When Lemons Give You Life is a deeply human novel about love, forgiveness, redemption, and rediscovering joy when life has lost its flavor.

The Sacredness of Suffering is the product of interaction with the heartbreak and suffering of the hundreds of people with whom I have walked with in our spiritual journeys. My own personal journey of suffering, coupled with my understanding of the Bible, has made it evident to me that suffering is a means of grace. And since pain and suffering, in one form or another, are common to all, they must have a sacred purpose. It is a motif that runs throughout the Scriptures, from Genesis to Revelation. It was the primary means by which our Savior learned obedience (Hebrews 5:8), and for that reason alone, suffering may be considered sacred. I concede that the title of this book may suggest morbidity, but its pages and the soundness of its theology will not only comfort those who read it but could lead them to embrace suffering as sacred and a primary means of grace whereby they are conformed to the image of Christ.

"Riveting . . . There is a wealth of new information here that adds considerable texture and nuance to his story and helps to set Russia apart from previous works."--The Wall Street Journal

An epic new account of the conflict that reshaped Eastern Europe and set the stage for the rest of the twentieth century.

Between 1917 and 1921 a devastating struggle took place in Russia following the collapse of the Tsarist empire. The doomed White alliance of moderate socialists and reactionary monarchists stood little chance against Trotsky's Red Army and the single-minded Communist dictatorship under Lenin. In the savage civil war that followed, terror begat terror, which in turn led to ever greater cruelty with man's inhumanity to man, woman and child. The struggle became a world war by proxy as Churchill deployed weaponry and troops from the British empire, while contingents from the United States, France, Italy, Japan, Poland, and Czechoslovakia played rival parts.

Using the most up to date scholarship and archival research, Antony Beevor assembles the complete picture in a gripping narrative that conveys the conflict through the eyes of everyone from the worker on the streets of Petrograd to the cavalry officer on the battlefield and the doctor in an improvised hospital.

Her return to the ranch meant she wanted no complications... His fresh start brought him to her...

Reese

It was just supposed to be a welcome home party.

A few drinks to celebrate my temporary return.

Then, he showed up...

Cory Whitfield.

I don't have time for any of his complications, when I have so many of my own.

If only my body could remember that.

When he offers to take me home after one too many blue-colored mixed drinks, I try to resist him...

I really do.

Somehow, we end up sharing a kiss that makes me break all my rules.

My past is dark and my future is even more murky. Someone, who I thought would make my dreams come true, proved to me that relationships are only worth what they can give you.

Getting involved with Cory is dangerous for both of us. But, he showed me that what I thought about relationships was all wrong.

Can I protect him from what haunts me, and keep the love he's shown when my past won't stay behind me?

Cory

All I wanted was a fresh start.

I'm tired of trying to be everywhere at once.

My sons deserve more and I'm going to give that to them.

Aunt Jan wants me to stay with her in Alpenglow Ridge for the summer, and try to pursue my dream of starting my own landscaping company.

My first contract is with a cattle ranch. It's going to be my ticket to gaining the trust of other potential clients in this town.

Everything was going well until I met the angel that saw me more clearly than any person has in years...

Reese Mason.

She is out of my league. Stunning and sexy beyond measure.

She is the type of woman who makes men lose their minds.

Her reputation is hard to escape, but I can't believe those rumors.

This woman is unlike anyone I've ever known.

Just one kiss and I'm sure.

I'll do anything to keep her.

Will my love for Reese be enough to save her from her past?

Saddled with Finesse is a small-town romantic suspense novel that is suitable for mature audiences only. It is the steamy and emotional start to the Alpenglow Ridge series. It can be read as a complete standalone. There is an HEA for these main characters.

"Remarkably Bright Creatures [is] an ultimately feel-good but deceptively sensitive debut about what it feels like to have love taken away from you, only to find it again in the most unexpected places. . . . Memorable and tender." -- Washington Post

"Completely charming."--St. Louis Post-Dispatch

After Tova Sullivan's husband died, she began working the night shift at the Sowell Bay Aquarium, mopping floors and tidying up. Keeping busy has always helped her cope, which she's been doing since her eighteen-year-old son mysteriously vanished on a boat in Puget Sound over thirty years ago.

Tova becomes acquainted with curmudgeonly Marcellus, a brilliant, giant Pacific octopus living at the aquarium. Marcellus wouldn't dream of lifting one of his eight arms for his human captors--until he forms a friendship with Tova. Ever the detective, Marcellus deduces what happened the night Tova's son disappeared. And now Marcellus must use every trick his old invertebrate body can muster to unearth the truth for her before it's too late.

Shelby Van Pelt's debut novel is a gentle reminder that sometimes taking a hard look at the past can help uncover a future that once felt impossible.

"A gift that is not freely given loses its worth. And when it's forcibly taken, a gift can become a curse."

Reim was raised for one purpose: to inherit the Vuorian throne-a crown that demands she protect her fractured, volatile kingdom from those within its walls who seek to ruin it-the Unnamed. A destiny few believe she can fulfill. Least of all, Reim herself.

With her beloved father's health rapidly declining, and the threat of insurrection looming, she makes a desperate deal-sealed in magic and blood-with an enigmatic Unnamed man known only as the healer. But when he finally comes to collect his due, the price he demands not only has the power to destroy her, but everything she thought she knew about honor, justice...and love.

The Unnamed, the first book in a gripping new fantasy duology, is a bold reimagining of Rumpelstiltskin that examines the transformative power of names, identity, self-growth, and love while delivering fast-paced action and slow-burning romance that will leave readers eager for more.

"A summer carnival whirs to life in a quiet corner of a world at war, and the lives it touches will never be the same. Linda Paul's sweeping historical romance pulled me into its world, where a forbidden love transcends cultural barriers. Her authentic portrayal of Romani culture avoids stereotypes. A story rich with humanity and heart." -Tamatha Cain, author of Song of the Chimney Sweep

In 1942, eighteen-year-old Marisol Mazaria arrives with her Romani family at Ohio's Buckeye Lake Amusement Park where big bands come to play and thousands of wartime-weary visitors long for an escape. She is desperate for work and haunted by tragedy after her abusive husband's violent death. Marisol faces a future of tarot card fortune-telling and servitude-until a chance encounter with Will Worthington changes everything.

Will, a college student dreaming of becoming a pilot against his wealthy father's wishes, is drawn to Marisol's intelligence and fierce determination. As their secret romance blossoms amid the lights of the midway, both must navigate the treacherous waters of prejudice from their own communities. When the park manager's wife begins secretly teaching Marisol to read and helps her apply to medical school, Marisol longs for a future she never dared imagine.

But as war clouds gather and Will is drafted, their forbidden love becomes increasingly dangerous. A vindictive park supervisor sabotages and threatens to destroy the Romani community, and family pressures mount. Marisol must choose between the traditions and loyalty to her family or the uncertain promise of a life lived on her own terms-before fate makes the choice for her.

"One of the most electrifying and surprising endings in world literature." Erich Maria Remarque

One morning in November 1940, two men meet on New Jersey dock. One, haggard and haunted, says he's waiting for 75 refugees from Hitler's Germany. Every day he comes, and every day he leaves-alone.

Over a drink in a nearby bar, he relates the story of his imprisonment in a pre-war Nazi concentration camp. Of the SS commandant who separated out all the Jewish inmates and set about a deliberate program to kill them one by one, by torture, beatings, or suicide. Until the day when one inmate found himself faced with a decision: was vengeance, as it says in the Torah, a matter for God alone?

Written in 1943 and never before translated into English, Vengeance is Mine is the first work of fiction to predict the Nazi's final solution, their program to exterminate the Jews. Its story is short, stunning, and unforgettable: a 20^th century masterpiece.
