She’d arrived with the intention of saving her sister from becoming Ransom Shepard’s mail-order bride, only to discover that a wedding was the furthest thing from his mind. When all she wants to do is get away from the alarmingly handsome, oddly reclusive Ransom Shepard, Fate has other cruel tricks to play. No matter how much she tells herself to steer clear of the mysterious Alaskan, she can’t resist savoring steamy fantasies of moonlit nights in Ransom’s arms. Will her good sense win out over long-dormant passions, or will desire for this magnetic man make her his weak-willed, summertime conquest? Only time and fickle Fate will tell!

Download or read book Harry Huntt Ransom written by Alan Gribben and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Both a life story and a portrait of public higher education during the twentieth century, Harry Huntt Ransom captures the spirit of a dynamic individual who dedicated his talents to nurturing intellectual life in Texas and beyond. Tracing the details of Ransom's youth in Galveston and Tennessee and his education at Yale, where he earned a doctorate, Alan Gribben provides new insight into the factors that shaped Ransom's future as a renowned administrator and defender of the humanities. Ransom's career at the University of Texas began in 1935, when he was hired as an instructor of English. He rose through the ranks to become chancellor, stepping down in 1971 during a volatile period when debates about the University's central mission raged—particularly over the question of commercializing higher education. The development of Ransom's lasting legacy, the Humanities Research Center bearing his name, is explored in depth as well. Bringing to life a legendary figure, Harry Huntt Ransom is a colorful testament to a singular man of letters who had the audacity to propose "that there be established somewhere in Texas—let's say in the capital city—a center of our cultural compass, a research center to be the Bibliothèque Nationale of the only state that started out as an independent nation."
