Book excerpt: Fans of Netflix’s Bridgerton series will love this captivating second chance story—from the series that delivers “both emotional intensity and lush sensuality, and vivacious writing enhanced by ample measures of wit.” (Booklist, Starred Review) Lady Georgiana Arlington has always done what’s best for her family—even when it meant marrying a man she didn't love to save her father. Her husband’s death has left her stronger and bolder—a hellion, some would even say. When a mysterious enemy jeopardizes her livelihood and reputation, there’s only one person she can trust to help her uncover the threat: the same man she left heartbroken years ago. Captain Henry Harris is no longer the penniless fortune hunter he was when they first met. Now a decorated naval hero, he could have his choice of women, but no other woman has Georgie’s allure, nor the tenacity he can’t help but admire. Assisting Lady Arlington will put both his body and his heart in danger—and yet, he can’t resist a second chance with the one woman he’s never been able to forget.

Download or read book Post Earth written by Ron Neff Ph.D and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2021-06-10 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was 2168. The earthlings now out in space, out exploring the cosmos in a variety of space craft, were in shock. Their wonderful planet dead? All of it? It couldn’t be true. But it was. A killer comet had destroyed the earth. Now they were searching the stars for new life. They were well-equipped for searching. By 2168, there were hundreds of starships and thousands of space tankers, hovercraft and other support vessels out there. NASA and The Intergalactic Command had also established bases, mines, and factories on many planets. There were other upsides, to be sure. For one, because of breakthroughs in stem cell research, the life span had been greatly extended, then extended again – until by now, 240 years was the average. But all was not rosy. After 50 years of failing to find a new planet capable of sustaining human life, some were losing faith in The Intergalactic Command. There were rumors of a civil war. Some of the starship captains had also become pirates. Yet hope sprang eternal. And there were romantic intrigues afoot, including between Captain Jennifer Keith, Commander of the Starship Ambrosia and Captain Thaddeus Wright, Commander of the Aires. But Captain Stanley Rathmell, who excelled at wormhole warfare — and entertaining mischief — would have something to say about that.

Book excerpt: The Land of The Midnight Sun was home to more majestic glaciers and mountains than any place else on earth. And to more lakes and rivers than you could probably imagine. Just how many was that? There were more than 3,000 rivers and 3,000,000 lakes in Alaska. Everything was bigger in Texas? Not hardly, Tex. Alaska was more than twice the size of Texas. It was bigger than Texas, California, and Montana combined. Its critters were larger, too. And they roamed in in a wild, unmolested wilderness. Little wonder it was now being called, “The Northern Paradise.” That still didn’t quite cover it. You almost had to visit – to grasp one other thing about “The Last Frontier.” That would be its vastness . . . the expanses of what your eyes could feast upon. It was the summer of ’32, 2032, that is. They had been fighting that damned “covid” virus down in the lower 48 states just about long enough. Besides, it was getting too damned crowded down there. They longed for open spaces. Along with adventure -- and fortune. Alaska had all of that. And more. Now, it would soon claim a motley assortment of venturesome characters from Scottsville, Iowa. Well, if they could make it. Moving “Way Up North” presented challenges.

Download or read book The Trouble with Eve written by Ron Neff Ph.D and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2020-06-21 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Luka was not a believer. He had always been skeptical of those biblical stories, including the supposed Forbidden Fruit tempting them under The Tree of Knowledge. But what was this hold Eve now had over him? Was it that? Was this the original sin? Or was it simpler than that? Was “the fobidden fruit” really just her delightful body? If so, Luka thought that Eve should have had a good lawyer. She had been framed. There was nothing sinful about it, Luka would argue. She was simply a natural wonder. To be fair, Luka’s Eve was not the average human female. She was amazing! Better yet, many of their friends were nearly as awesome. So it went in Flathead County, home of 314 named mountains. As Rusty had somehow managed to inscribe on the side of one of those peaks, “Montana. It’s Not For Wimps!”

Download or read book Sometimes They Came Back written by Ron Neff Ph.D and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2022-08-11 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Markus owned – and was duly proud – of a well-used, but still fast and flashy Porsche sports coupe. Was that flashy car one of the reasons that young pretty after young pretty came chasing after him? Only a freshman in college, Markus had no idea. Women were a mystery, to be sure. Albeit a welcome mystery. Sometimes he thought he’d really like to find “the one.” But what was the rush? In the meantime, this fledging undergraduate had become a collector. When one of his flames dumped him, she would often leave behind a bracelet, an earring or two, a scarf, or some other personal item. Markus would stash away any such item with care. It was a way to keep a part of every one of those lovers with him. Besides, sometimes they came back. Markus was a dreamer. He was also an incurable romantic. That’s why he stashed away every little item a lost partner might leave behind. Every one of those cuties was special to him. And maybe – just maybe – one of those special cuties would come back someday, not to claim her lost item or two. But to claim him. If only it were that simple. Love never is, of course. Instead, Markus finally had to admit that his heart had made a claim of its own.

Book excerpt: Steve climbed highline poles tending powerlines out on the prairies of Travis County. With his casual bravery, deep voice and that deliberate gait to his long stride, the county lineman was the ideal that other “sidewinders” looked up to. In fact, some of his friends wanted to bring back Western movies, with Steevo starring as the lead in “The Last Shootist.” Steve thought that movie talk was just “pie in the sky.” Besides, his Uncle Max had more serious plans. Max was leaving his insurance company to Steve. Built from scratch by his own efforts, that company was Max’s legacy. Unfortunately, there were other relatives who didn’t respect his wishes. Could Max’s company be saved? Sally was the star barmaid at The Rockin Wheel. Steve didn’t know where he stood with Sally. She was sweet to him one day, and nothing but sass the next. Of course, being Steevo, he had other female attention. Soon he would be caught in a love triangle between himself, Jodie Rose and Marla. Jodie Rose had been his main squeeze for years and Marla was now the executive secretary for Max’s insurance company. Something had to give. Despite Steve’s doubts, his friends had formed Silver Spurs Productions. Thanks to Christy, a talented marketing expert, they would sell thousands of shares of stock. Gunther, a widely published novelist and another member of their circle, was writing a screen play. Would Steevo soon be gracing the big screen in the role of “Dead Eye Luke?”
