Book excerpt: The Cowboy’s Intriguing Love will be the seventh book in the MacFarland Ranch series. This is Tyler and Shayna’s story. Most of his brothers have met amazing women and settled down – and they’re encouraging Ty to do the same. Well, they call it encouraging, but in his mind they’re meddling. He plans to take down the online dating profile they set up for him just as soon as he can. Until he receives a message from a hot blonde in California … Shayna’s lived in Summer Lake her whole life. She doesn’t expect that online dating will lead to her finding the man of her dreams, but she’s already dipped a toe, or two, in the dating pool at the lake – and it could use a good shot of chlorine. When a well-meaning friend sends a message from her account to a hot cowboy in Montana, things might be looking up. Exchanging messages with Ty is great, but is it crazy to think that they might get together in the real world?

Silas has exiled himself to Alaska to avoid ruining a relationship between two of the people he respects most.

Maybe even his frozen heart. ★Southern Comfort (Compass Brothers, Book 2) – Caught between desire and a promise… Seth has known for years he was falling for his boss’s daughter, Jody.

Lucky for Seth…and Jody, he has plenty of rope. ★Winter’s Thaw (Compass Girls, Book 1) – Sometimes life doesn’t go according to plan. Sometimes it’s better. Daniel and Sienna are both back in town after being injured. Daniel by a bull, and Sienna by an ex. When their lust for each other turns to genuine emotion, can Daniel convince Sienna to consider a new path, one that will lead her directly to his arms…forever? ★Heaven on Earth (Compass Boys, Book 1) – Austin bailed on college to drive a cattle truck for his family’s ranch. When he picks up some unexpected cargo in the form of a gorgeous if battered stowaway, he’s in trouble. The same reckless streak that convinced him to abandon his education is urging him to keep Hayden close and safe, maybe even teach her how to love again after the disastrous relationship she’s fleeing. If only her past doesn’t catch up with them at exactly the wrong moment…

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All the Cowboys Ain’t Gone is the rollicking adventure story of Lincoln Smith, a young Texan living at the beginning of the twentieth century, who thinks of himself as the last true cowboy. He longs for the days of the Old West, when men like his father, a famous Texas Ranger, lived by the chivalric code. Lincoln finds himself hopelessly out of time and place in the fast-changing United States of the new century. When he gets his heart broken by a sweetheart who doesn’t appreciate his anachronistic tendencies, he does what any sensible young romantic would do: he joins the French Foreign Legion. On his way to an ancient and exotic country at the edge of the Sahara, Lincoln encounters a number of curious characters and strange adventures, from a desert hermit who can slow up time to a battle with a crocodile cult that worships the god of death. He meets them all with his own charming brand of courage and resourcefulness.

Book The Rancher   s Inescapable Love

Download or read book The Rancher s Inescapable Love written by SJ McCoy and published by Xenion, Inc. This book was released on 2024-02-29 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Rancher’s Inescapable Love is the sixth book in SJ McCoy’s sweet n steamy MacFarland Ranch series, and the second to feature an older couple – in their fifties. Ace Zielinski is a laid-back kind of guy. He’s had his share of adventure, and now he’s content to live a quieter life back home in Paradise Valley. Surrounded by lifelong friends, and never short on offers of female company, he enjoys dating, but prefers to keep his relationships short and sweet. He values his solitude up in his cabin above the ranch too much – no way does he want a woman disturbing his peaceful life. He doesn’t mind going out of his way to help people. Last summer he helped a woman who came to the valley in the wake of a difficult divorce. Now, he’s about to be reminded that no good deed goes unpunished. Ariana Knightly cannot figure out how her life got turned upside down so completely and abruptly. Yes, she knew that she might face some blowback after handling Stella Ansari’s divorce last year, but she never suspected that she’d find herself in danger, ousted from her own law firm, and worse still, stuck in the middle of nowhere, Montana. Staying on the same ranch where Stella hid out last summer seemed like a good idea. However, Ari hadn’t taken into account that the winters in Montana are a whole lot different from the summers. But not even the subzero temperatures outside can lower the heat levels whenever she’s faced with Ace Zielinski. All she knew from Stella was that Ace was a nice guy who’d helped her out. Nice? Ha! Not one of the many words Ari would use to describe him. Hot? Check. Charming? Absolutely! Irresistible? Possibly. Neither of them was looking for love, but there’s no escaping the fact that they’re perfect for each other. They might have found each other later in life, but it looks like they might have a future together - if Ari can escape the danger that’s closing in.

Book excerpt: "A can't-put-it-down modern Western." —Kirk Siegler, NPR Longlisted for the PEN/ESPN Award for Literary Sports Writing The Last Cowboys is Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter John Branch’s epic tale of one American family struggling to hold on to the fading vestiges of the Old West. For generations, the Wrights of southern Utah have raised cattle and world-champion saddle-bronc riders—many call them the most successful rodeo family in history. Now they find themselves fighting to save their land and livelihood as the West is transformed by urbanization, battered by drought, and rearranged by public-land disputes. Could rodeo, of all things, be the answer? Written with great lyricism and filled with vivid scenes of heartache and broken bones, The Last Cowboys is a powerful testament to the grit and integrity that fuel the American Dream.

Book Interesting Times

Download or read book Interesting Times written by George Mandler and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2014-04-08 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an autobiographical account of George Mandler--born in 1924--who grew up in a middle class Jewish family in Vienna. It details the fears and attempts to find a safe haven when Austria was invaded and absorbed into Nazi Germany in 1938, followed by Mandler's escape to England and residence in a small boarding school. The threat of the holocaust and reaction to anti-semitism are explored and the author describes the life of an emigre youth group run by a branch of the Austrian communist party. Drafted in 1943, Mandler is trained in military intelligence and ends up as a front line interrogator with the 7th army in Germany. The training and function of military intelligence and the role of German and Austrian refugees in it are described for the first time in detail. Military intelligence and counter-intelligence work in post-war Germany follows, including the evacuation of a scientific establishment before the arrival of the Soviets. Returning to New York in 1946, Mandler begins his college training at New York University and the University of Basel, Switzerland. This is followed by graduate training in psychology at Yale and a first position at Harvard for seven years. Highlights of the period include a short episode of peripheral involvement in a Soviet spy scandal. After five years at the University of Toronto, Mandler is given the opportunity of a lifetime--to start a department at the prestigious new San Diego branch of the University of California. He describes the process of building a department and a university in the context of the 1960s, as well as academic life and actions during the turbulent 60s and 70s. Mandler's successful career as a writer and researcher in psychology is described in lay language, as is the professional/scientific bifurcation of the field. The final chapter comments on and describes current academic life and problems.
