Originally published in 2011. Against the Wind Sarah Allen burned a lot of bridges when she left her hometown. But when her husband is murdered and his associates come looking for her and her daughter, Sarah has only one place left to go—Wind Canyon, Wyoming. She runs right into Jackson Raines, the man she spurned in high school, who has now become a successful ranch owner. Against the Fire Gabriel Raines still has a pair of cowboy boots in his closet, even though he’s now a successful real-estate developer in Texas. And he continues to live by the same Wyoming values that he and his brothers were raised by—hard work, determination and fairness. But when two of his projects are set on fire, Gabe realizes he’s crossed dangerous lines. Against the Law At thirty-two Dev is “mostly retired” from Raines Investigations, content to run operations from his sprawling Arizona home. But Dev has never been able to say no to a beautiful woman, so when Lark Delaney comes to him for help, the former U.S. Army Ranger from Wind Canyon gets back in the game. |

As the case grows dangerous and Lark needs him more than ever, Dev can’t ignore his growing attraction for her. He also can’t trust his judgment with women or the emotions he’s long-since buried. But there’s a chance, if he gets this right and saves Lark’s niece, that he’ll end up saving himself, too. |

Finding a guy, not so much—unless that guy finds you...in the most unexpected way. Snap. Click. Snap. Molly steers clear of anything that doesn't have her behind the lens of her trusty camera. That is her passion, her love and her life. Being an award-winning photographer who creates countless book covers for authors all over the world has its perks—half-naked men, for starters. Always looking but never touching—mixing business with pleasure is a big no-no in her line of work. Molly never could picture herself having a happily ever after like the romance novels where her cover shots are featured. There are plenty of fish in the sea, but what happens when you get clobbered by one—literally? Molly finds herself being the catch of the day in Seattle's Pike Place Fish Market. After meeting Owen, a sexy fisherman with stormy-gray eyes, everything changes.

She isn't so sure she is cut out for this relationship, but Owen sets out to prove that fate has him Reeling in Love. Will Owen and Molly sail off into the sunset or will Molly be the one that got away, only to stay...Single in Seattle? Puppy Love Life—and love—is better with a bulldog...right? Everything is changing for Tiffany. Things used to be simple—Friendship Friday nights with her besties, Mackenzie and Molly, meeting up for late afternoon lattes and just enjoying the single life in Seattle. Now Molly is engaged. Can their friendship survive the change? Coffee is not just a drink, but a way of life for these three best friends, but Tiffany takes her love of coffee to a whole other level.

She has more questions than answers. Tiffany could easily fall in love with Colin, except now he's her boss and that complicates things. And besides...if keeping her job means becoming a babysitter for an English Bulldog with a severe drooling problem, then Tiffany isn't so sure she's going to be employed much longer. She can handle every aspect of her job, no problem, but taking care of a stinky and stubborn dog isn't in the job description. Things start to get interesting when she finds herself falling for Colin and his precious fur baby, but is it just puppy love?

It gives us an unflinching view of the fabric of this country from the point of view of the people who keep it all moving. The more than 120 roughly textured monologues that make up Gig beautifully capture the voices of our fast-paced and diverse economy. The selections demonstrate how much our world has changed--and stayed the same--in the three decades prior to the turn of the millennium. If you think things have speeded up, become more complicated and more technological, you're right. But people's attitudes about their jobs, their hopes and goals and disappointments, endure. Gig's soul isn't sociological--it's emotional. The wholehearted diligence that people bring to their work is deeply, inexplicably moving. People speak in these pages of the constant and complex stresses nearly all of them confront on the job, but, nearly universally, they throw themselves without reservation into coping with them. Instead of resisting work, we seem to adapt to it. Some of us love our jobs, some of us don't, but almost all of us are not quite sure what we would do without one. With all the hallmarks of another classic on this subject, Gig is a fabulous read, filled with indelible voices from coast to coast. After hearing them, you'll never again feel quite the same about how we work. |
