Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There were no surprises in Gatlin County. We were pretty much the epicenter of the middle of nowhere. At least, that's what I thought. Turns out, I couldn't have been more wrong. There was a curse. There was a girl. And in the end, there was a grave. Lena Duchannes is unlike anyone the small Southern town of Gatlin has ever seen, and she's struggling to conceal her power and a curse that has haunted her family for generations. But even within the overgrown gardens, murky swamps and crumbling graveyards of the forgotten South, a secret cannot stay hidden forever. Ethan Wate, who has been counting the months until he can escape from Gatlin, is haunted by dreams of a beautiful girl he has never met. When Lena moves into the town's oldest and most infamous plantation, Ethan is inexplicably drawn to her and determined to uncover the connection between them. In a town with no surprises, one secret could change everything.

Download or read book Frontier Follies written by Ree Drummond and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2020-11-17 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times bestseller A down-to-earth, hilarious collection of stories and musings on marriage, motherhood, and country life from the #1 New York Times bestselling author and star of the Food Network show The Pioneer Woman, Ree Drummond. Once upon a time, I lost my marbles and married a sexy, Wrangler-wearing cowboy named Ladd. That single decision would wind up setting the stage for years of rural adventures (and misadventures), and while I can't imagine my life being any different, raising a family in the “idyllic” countryside has not been without a few bumps in the road. (Or were those cow patties? It's hard to tell the difference sometimes.) I'm excited to share this crazy collection of true stories from my full-of-energy, hard-to-tame, wonderfully wild (and very weird) frontier family. From the unique challenges of being married to a rancher to the blood, sweat, mud, and tears of raising country kids, I'll pull back the curtain and let you in on some of the sh*t and shenanigans that have really gone on here on Drummond Ranch over the past two-plus decades. You'll learn about marital spats, run-ins with wildlife, ER visits, my parenting neuroses, triumphs, tribulations, love, loss . . . and how manure has somehow managed to weave its way through all of it. To keep things up to the minute, you'll also hear about more recent family developments that have tested my sanity and pushed me to the brink. (And pleasantly surprised me, too.) This book is both a love letter and a laugh letter, and I hope you get a big kick out of it all: the good, the bad, and the dirty. Mostly, I hope it demonstrates how much I adore this family of mine . . . even if I sometimes have to use rubber snakes to show it.

Download or read book Retrieved written by Amabel Daniels and published by Amabel Daniels. This book was released on 2022-07-15 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The impossible search. Even though she’s grown up at the Academy, Paige Verlene has never fit in with her friends, the elves who can master animals, plants, and even humans’ minds. After her return from a field case in the jungle, she is faced with a new identity even though her abilities remain a mystery. A magiquaine. The elder who transferred his skills to her addressed her as such: a rare individual who must find his book before others can abuse it. No matter how versed she is in research, as a bookworm and hacker, and regardless of the headmistress directing her to collaborate with a stranger, Paige vows to find this book her own way, following the one lead within her reach. She sets out solo—except the last man she wants to be stuck with is dispatched to bring her back. The last one to help. Dirk Steven first came to the Academy for college, but now that he’s been given the job of managing forestry research on campus, an altogether different opportunity of a lifetime is thrust upon him. His directive is to follow the head librarian’s daughter—retrieve her, according to his boss’s boss—and take her to a meet with a professor whose goals aren’t clear. Paige isn’t an object to collect, though, and he’s more a lumberjack than a bodyguard. As he agrees to find her, to help her, there’s no way they can avoid the attraction they’ve denied for so long. Thrust together on a trip halfway around the world, it is hopeless to repel each other as the opposites they are. Because they must come together before the threat of a stalker stops a long-lost text. One book that could determine the course of what could very well be war…
