Book excerpt: A delicious hot billionaire romance featuring two polar opposites adrift in a small island town. It’s bullshit. I’m innocent. And to prove it, I’m surrounded by lawyers and paying them ridiculous sums of money, and the legal eagles have the gall to tell me to be patient. I’m Gabriel Chesterton, a hedge fund manager with a stellar track record. When my firm asks me to take a paid leave while the SEC twits investigate, I have half a mind to tell them where they can shove it. But, I’m told this nightmare won’t last long. And a vacation calls my name - or rather, one particular online celebrity who happens to live on the island my buddy now calls home. She’s the perfect distraction while my life gets sorted out. Only, I make a mistake. Because while I’m focusing on the two-dimensional centerfold, her three-dimensional self knocks me on my ass. That billion-dollar scandal doesn’t hold a candle to the demolition the blue-eyed babe wreaks to my well-ordered, disciplined, successful life. Adrift is a steamy billionaire romance between an alpha arrogant male and the woman who challenges his world order. The standalone contemporary romance novel is the second in the Haven Island series, an island where people come to shelter at their life’s lowest points, right off the coast of North Carolina. See what readers are saying: Absolutely great storyline! This storyline is not like any other that I have read before. It kept me enthralled from start to finish. The characters are all beautifully written about and interact with each other so well that I almost hated to see the story end. The book has just about everything that a reader could ask for in a good read, laughter, heat, tears, passion, a great storyline, interesting characters, and a beautiful ending. - Donna G.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Tanya Guerrero, the author of All You Knead Is Love and How to Make Friends with the Sea, comes Adrift, an upper middle grade contemporary story of survival and grief about two biracial Filipino cousins whose resilience is tested when one of them is lost at sea. Cousins Coral and Isa are so close that they're practically siblings; their mothers are sisters, and the two girls grew up on the same small island. When Coral and her parents leave on a months-long sea voyage amid the islands of Indonesia, Isa is devastated that they'll be kept apart, and the two vow to write to each other no matter what. Then the unthinkable happens, and Coral's boat capsizes at sea, where her parents vanish. Washed up on a deserted island, alone and wracked by grief, she must find the strength within to survive, and find her way back home. Meanwhile, Isa is still on Pebble Island, the only one holding out hope that her beloved cousin is still alive. Told in alternating points of view, this is a powerful story of loss and hope, love and family—and the unexpected resilience of the human spirit.
Download or read book Adrift written by Brian Murphy and published by Da Capo Press. This book was released on 2018-09-04 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A story of tragedy at sea where every desperate act meant life or death The small ship making the Liverpool-to-New York trip in the early months of 1856 carried mail, crates of dry goods, and more than one hundred passengers, mostly Irish emigrants. Suddenly an iceberg tore the ship asunder and five lifeboats were lowered. As four lifeboats drifted into the fog and icy water, never to be heard from again, the last boat wrenched away from the sinking ship with a few blankets, some water and biscuits, and thirteen souls. Only one would survive. This is his story. As they started their nine days adrift more than four hundred miles off Newfoundland, the castaways--an Irish couple and their two boys, an English woman and her daughter, newlyweds from Ireland, and several crewmen, including Thomas W. Nye from Fairhaven, Massachusetts--began fighting over food and water. One by one, though, day by day, they died. Some from exposure, others from madness and panic. In the end, only Nye and the ship's log survived. Using Nye's firsthand descriptions and later newspaper accounts, ship's logs, assorted diaries, and family archives, Brian Murphy chronicles the horrific nine days that thirteen people suffered adrift on the cold gray Atlantic. Adrift brings readers to the edge of human limits, where every frantic decision and desperate act is a potential life saver or life taker.

Download or read book The Desert Islands of Mexico s Sea of Cortez written by Stewart W. Aitchison and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2010-11-15 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The desert islands in the Sea of Cortez are little known except to a few intrepid tourists, sailors, and fishermen. Though at first glance these stark islands may appear barren, they are a refuge for an astounding variety of plants and animals. While many of the species are typical of the greater Sonoran Desert region, some are endemic or unique to one or two islands. For example, Isla Santa Catalina is home to the worldÕs only rattlesnake that has lost its ability to grow a rattle. Other islands host nesting birds, such as Isla Rasa, a tiny, flat flow of basalt lava that attracts nearly half a million elegant and royal terns and HeermannÕs gulls each spring. The Desert Islands of MexicoÕs Sea of Cortez is one of the few books devoted to the biogeography of this remarkable part of the world. The book explores the geologic origin of the gulf and its islands, presents some of the basics of island biogeography, details insular lifeÑincluding residents of the intertidal zone Ñand provides a brief outlook for preserving this area. More than a simple guidebook, AitchisonÕs writing will take both actual and armchair travelers through a gripping tale of natural history. Like the rest of our fragile planet, the Sea of Cortez and its islands are threatened by humans. Overfishing has eliminated or greatly diminished many fish stocks, and dams on rivers that once flowed into the gulf prevent certain nutrients from reaching the sea. The tenuousness of this area makes the bookÕs extraordinary photographs and the firsthand descriptions by a well-known teacher, writer, and photographer all the more compelling.

They found themselves battling pounding rain, waves the size of skyscrapers, and 140 knot winds. Richard tethered himself to the boat and sent Tami below to safety, and then all went eerily quiet. Hours later, Tami awakened to find the boat in ruins, and Richard nowhere in sight. Adrift is the story of Tami’s miraculous forty-one-day journey to safety on a ravaged boat with no motor and no masts, and with little hope for rescue. It’s a tale of love and survival on the high seas-- an unforgettable story about resilience of the human spirit, and the transcendent power of love.
