Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A former Special Forces operative is on a mission to clean up his bad boy image, but falling for his exes' baby sister certainly won't win him any medals. Dorie Reyes has always lived in her perfect big sister's shadow, watching as she effortlessly stole the heart of the boy Dorie had always crushed on. Only to not stand by him when he needed her and leave him broken-hearted. Now, to save their business, the Reyes sisters need access to their inheritance. But a stipulation that they must be married first puts a wrench in their plans. When Dorie's big sister pops the question to her convenient ex-boyfriend, Dorie believes her unrequited love story is over before it ever begins. Aaron comes back from war hoping to gain acceptance from the town that turned their back on him. He's no longer the bad boy he used to be. He's a hero now, scarred by battle but driven by a deep desire to make a life with the woman who broke his heart years ago. When she proposes a marriage of convenience, he thinks this is his chance. But as he spends more time with his future sister-in-law, it becomes clear that they have more in common with each other and share a deep connection that cannot be ignored. Now Aaron's faced with the fact he's falling for the wrong sister, and Dorie's faced with the guilt of stealing her sister's fiancé. They'll have a heartbreaking decision to make—give up on their love or risk everything to be together. His Duty to Serve is the first in a series of light-hearted, sweet romances where veterans find their way back to their small town and discover they can be heroes at home.

Book Three Wise Men

Download or read book Three Wise Men written by Beau Wise and published by St. Martin's Griffin. This book was released on 2021-01-12 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Beau Wise and Tom Sileo comes Three Wise Men, an incredible memoir of family, service and sacrifice by a Marine who lost both his brothers in combat—becoming the only "Sole Survivor" during the war in Afghanistan. Three Wise Men details the fate of three brothers intertwined when they voluntarily enlisted in defending their homeland after the devastating 9/11 attacks. Their extraordinary tale unfurls the severe toll of the Afghan war, particularly on a single family, underscoring the profound significance of the sacrifice and the indomitable resilience of a family's courage. While serving in Afghanistan, US Navy SEAL veteran and CIA contractor Jeremy Wise was killed in an al Qaeda suicide bombing that devastated the US intelligence community. Less than three years later, US Army Green Beret sniper Ben Wise was fatally wounded after volunteering for a dangerous assignment during a firefight with the Taliban. Ben was posthumously awarded the Silver Star, while Jeremy received the Intelligence Star—one of the rarest awards bestowed by the U.S. government—and also a star on the CIA’s Memorial Wall. The legacy of their sacrifice lives on in Beau Wise's account, the only “Sole Survivor” pulled from the battlefield, forging an enduring testament to the value of loyalty, service, and familial bonds.

Download or read book Tour of Duty written by Constantine Nomikos Vaporis and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2009-11-12 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Choice Outstanding Academic Title Alternate attendance (sankin kotai) was one of the central institutions of Edo-period (1603-1868) Japan and one of the most unusual examples of a system of enforced elite mobility in world history. It required the daimyo to divide their time between their domains and the city of Edo, where they waited upon the Tokugawa shogun. Based on a prodigious amount of research in both published and archival primary sources, Tour of Duty renders alternate attendance as a lived experience, for not only the daimyo but also the samurai retainers who accompanied them. Beyond exploring the nature of travel to and from the capital as well as the period of enforced bachelorhood there, Constantine Vaporis elucidates-for the first time-the significance of alternate attendance as an engine of cultural, intellectual, material, and technological exchange. Vaporis argues against the view that cultural change simply emanated from the center (Edo) and reveals more complex patterns of cultural circulation and production taking place between the domains and Edo and among distant parts of Japan. What is generally known as "Edo culture" in fact incorporated elements from the localities. In some cases, Edo acted as a nexus for exchange; at other times, culture traveled from one area to another without passing through the capital. As a result, even those who did not directly participate in alternate attendance experienced a world much larger than their own. Vaporis begins by detailing the nature of the trip to and from the capital for one particular large-scale domain, Tosa, and its men and goes on to analyze the political and cultural meanings of the processions of the daimyo and their extensive entourages up and down the highways. These parade-like movements were replete with symbolic import for the nature of early modern governance. Later chapters are concerned with the physical and social environment experienced by the daimyo's retainers in Edo; they also address the question of who went to Edo and why, the network of physical spaces in which the domainal samurai lived, the issue of staffing, political power, and the daily lives and consumption habits of retainers. Finally, Vaporis examines retainers as carriers of culture, both in a literal and a figurative sense. In doing so, he reveals the significance of travel for retainers and their identity as consumers and producers of culture, thus proposing a multivalent model of cultural change.
