Casually Yours
"The chemistry and banter are fire." --Kirkus Reviews
Dani Tsai and Parker Tran grew up inseparable in middle-of-nowhere Silverpine, Oregon. She was the bookish girl, introverted and dreamy. He was the quintessential boy next door: charming, popular, and destined to be a football star. They were an unlikely pair of best friends--until they left for college and their friendship came to an unexpected end.
Seven years later, Dani is pursuing a writing career in New York City when a chance encounter brings her face-to-face with Parker again. He's now a hotshot sports marketing director on a temporary assignment in New York, having traded his jersey and cleats for designer suits. Even more puzzling is that he seems to think they can be friends again, and try as she might, Dani can't resist his pull. An impulsive kiss leads to heated nights in his hotel suite. They make a tentative agreement: For three months, they'll keep things casual, with no strings attached.
It isn't long before the line between lust and something deeper starts to blur. These two were never meant for casual.

American Patriarch: The Life of George Washington
From historian and Pulitzer Prize finalist H. W. Brands comes an inspiring portrait of George Washington that examines his unrivaled leadership in the birth of America. "With this masterly volume, Brands has further solidified his standing as one of our nation's greatest historians. American Patriarch is by turns brilliant and bold. "
--Justin Vaughn, founder and director of the Presidential Greatness Project From his early military career and role among the Virginia gentry, to his leadership during the American Revolution and reluctant return to public service as the first president of the United States, American Patriarch brings to life the man who was called on time and again by his peers to lead. With a dazzling cast of characters--from the French and Indians on the Ohio frontier; to the Marquis de Lafayette, Benedict Arnold, and Baron von Steuben on the revolutionary battlefield; to Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton locked in conflict during his presidency--American Patriarch casts Washington as the icon of American virtue who wrested America free from British control, gave credibility to the Constitution, and crafted the norms that would steady America as a nation for generations to follow. Arriving in time for the 250th anniversary of American independence, this is a masterful portrait of Washington as the unrivaled leader of his times. -

Thirty years after a tragic accident shut down production of the classic children's program Mister Magic, the five surviving cast members have done their best to move on. But just as generations of cultishly devoted fans still cling to the lessons they learned from the show, the cast have spent their lives searching for the happiness they felt while they were on it.

In Val's case, kidnapped by her father and in hiding ever since, she doesn't even have those. A surprise encounter with Val's old castmates brings them all together for a reunion.
