My name is Merit, and I've found myself in a bit of a quandary--namely, getting trapped in the underworld even though I'm very much alive! What's more, I ran into an actual god, Anubis, who has somehow become a good-for-nothing slouch, lazing around and shirking his duties!! All right, I suppose he's been cursed and wants nothing to do with humans. And as it turns out, maybe I'm the only one who can undo that curse--if I don't, I'll never get home. But I'm just a mortal girl. How can I hope to find my way into a god's heart...?! -

One Last Run
Danica Wendell seems to have it all figured out. She's a respected neonatologist at one of the finest hospitals in the nation, engaged to the man of her dreams, and living a life that most only dream about. Well, one of those things is true. The other? Well, that's her secret to keep for now.
Petra "Pete" Pancott isn't settling for an average life. She's globe-trotted, embraced every thrill, and carved out a career that's on her own terms. Sure, sometimes she daydreams of a future with a family and a home, but who needs roots when you're flying through life?
When their college friends throw a reunion ski trip in Telluride, Colorado, both women jump at the chance to hit the slopes and reconnect after fifteen years. But as they share a luxurious condo and spend the week together, it becomes clear that everyone has secrets they aren't revealing. More than that, Pete and Danica are finding they can't avoid the avalanche of unresolved feelings that loom between them after their not-so-casual-after-all fling back in college.
They say opposites attract, but no one ever warned them that navigating the steep terrain of their past would be anything but a slippery slope. Will they finally find common ground, or will this resurgence of emotion leave them lost in a snowstorm of chaos?

Oregon Gold: A History of Mining from the Civil War Into the Progressive Era
Following the discovery of gold in 1862 at Auburn and Canyon City, new communities and prospects were established in eastern Oregon. Just as the lure of free land attracted homesteaders and livestock raisers in search of new opportunities, so did the possibility of finding wealth in gold and silver throughout the region. Based on exhaustive research and a wealth of sources--federal census and mining records, newspapers, mining periodicals, county land records, maps, and federal government reports--Oregon Gold offers a comprehensive study of mining in Oregon between 1862 and 1910. From carefully examining the eastern portion of the state to exploring the economic expansion and political development of Portland, William Willingham highlights what is unique about the Oregon gold mining experience and places Oregon's precious metal mining in the context of mining throughout the American West.
Willingham shows how mining was an important aspect of the state's history, far greater than has been traditionally understood. He provides special attention and analysis to the role Chinese miners played in the story of eastern Oregon mining and to the demographic makeups of two major mining communities, Susanville and Granite, that thrived during the period. The attention to detail and thorough reporting in Oregon Gold will captivate both scholars and general readers interested in western mining and Oregon history during the nineteenth century.

Far from the Tree
Celeste English and Ronnie Frazier are sisters, but they couldn't be more different. Celeste is a doctor's wife, living a perfect and elegant life. But secretly, she is terrified: her marriage is falling apart and her need to control the people around her threatens to alienate her entire family. And Celeste allows no one to see how vulnerable she really is. Ronnie is an actress, living in New York. Her life, however, is a lie: she has no money, has no home, and her life is held together by "chewing gum, paper clips, and spit," though she wants everyone to think that her life is one of high glamour and budding fame. When their father dies, the sisters inherit a house in Prosper, North Carolina. Their mother, Della, is adamant that they forget about going there and dredging up the past. Because Della has secrets she'd rather not see come to light-secrets and heartbreak she's kept from everyone for years. Neither Ronnie, Celeste, nor Della realize just what their trip to Prosper will uncover and they must discover for themselves who they really are, who they really love, and what the future holds for them. Far From The Tree is a novel that asks the questions: can the past ever truly remain hidden? Can mothers and daughters put aside their usual roles long enough to get to really know each other? Long enough to see they each have felt the love, loss, heartache and joy that they share as women. And can two strangers realize that they are, and always will be, sisters?

Magic We Made
She doesn't believe in magic. He is magic. But when they meet, a spark is lit, and neither will ever be the same--in this charming new stand-alone in the Witches of West Harbor series from New York Times bestselling author Meg Cabot.
Frankie
A trained therapist, Francesca Giovanni knows there's a scientific explanation for everything. Unfortunately, she lives in West Harbor, CT, a town that's recently exploded in popularity thanks to "witch tourism." Suddenly, witches are everywhere, offering locals their psychic services. Frankie's fine with this...until aspiring teenage witches begin to disappear, and strange things start happening in the lake house next door. Frankie begins to suspect not all newcomers to West Harbor have the good of the community in mind--especially not her new neighbor, Ash Merit.
Ash
Ash Merit finds lost things--and people--for a living. All he wants is to help his clients, and maybe get to know the stunningly beautiful (and newly single) Dr. Frankie Giovanni a little better. But thanks to some troublesome young witches--not to mention his often faulty psychic "superpower"--everything goes wrong. If only Frankie wasn't so distractingly attractive...and so unwilling to admit there might not be a logical reason for everything, including the flames that ignite whenever the two of them kiss. Ash hopes to change that, but first he and Frankie have to find the missing girls, as well as the truth about what's happening in West Harbor...a truth that could change everything they thought they knew about themselves--and the magic of love.

No es cierto. Mi primer amor fue el patinaje artístico». Katarina Shaw siempre ha sabido que estaba destinada a llegar a lo más alto. Cuando conoce a Heath Rocha, un chico solitario, su conexión instantánea los convierte en un dúo formidable sobre el hielo... Hasta que un impactante incidente en los Juegos Olímpicos los separa definitivamente. Años después, por el décimo aniversario de la última vez que patinaron juntos, un documental reaviva la obsesión pública al afirmar revelar «la verdad sobre Shaw y Rocha» a través de entrevistas con sus amigos y sus rivales. Kat no quiere tener nada que ver, pero tampoco puede soportar la idea de que otros definan su legado. Así que, después de una década de silencio, cuenta su historia: desde las tragedias de la infancia que la unieron a Heath hasta el choque de deseos que los separó. Y resulta que, a pesar de que los rumores han seguido cada uno de sus pasos durante años, la verdad puede ser aún más impactante que los titulares.
