Looking back now, he knows that his behavior was likely the reason Abby left town years ago. So when he sees her—and the child she’s raising—at her great-uncle's funeral, Cody attempts to apologize, ashamed to see the fear he puts in her beautiful eyes and determined to show her he's no longer that same angry man. The only reason Abby returned to Catelow, Wyoming, was to bury her last living relative. She has studiously avoided Cody Banks ever since he made it clear how much he resents her, focusing instead on raising her young niece and keeping her own family legacy alive. But when Abby inherits the property adjoining Cody’s, she can't help but face the handsome sheriff who still lingers in her memory. Circumstances keep pulling them together, but has time healed their wounds and given them a chance at a happily-ever-after?Wyoming MenBook 1: Wyoming ToughBook 2: Wyoming FierceBook 3: Wyoming BoldBook 4: Wyoming StrongBook 5: Wyoming RuggedBook 6: Wyoming BraveBook 7: Wyoming WinterBook 8: Wyoming LegendBook 9: Wyoming HeartBook 10: Wyoming TrueBook 11: Wyoming Homecoming

The Casebook of Victor Frankenstein

The Casebook of Victor Frankenstein

A New York Times Notable Book andProvidence Journal Best Book of the YearFrom the incomparable Peter Ackroyd: a brilliant re-imagination of the classic tale that has enthralled readers for nearly two centuries. Victor Frankenstein, a researcher, and the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley form an unlikely friendship as first-years at Oxford. Shelley challenges the conventionally religious Frankenstein to consider his atheistic notions of creation and life—concepts that become an obsession for the young scientist. As Victor begins conducting anatomical experiments to reanimate the dead, he at first uses corpses supplied by the coroner. But these specimens prove imperfect for Victor’s purposes… Filled with the literary lights of the day, including Percy Shelley, Godwin, Lord Byron, and Mary Shelley herself, and penned in period-perfect voice, The Casebook of Victor Frankenstein is sure to become a classic of the twenty-first century.

The Honeymoon

The Honeymoon

Natalie Brannon’s recipe for “Honeymoon on the Rocks.”Take one husband, usually aboard ship somewhere. Add one minuscule apartment with a "sea view" that is only visible from atop the kitchen counter, but which comes fully equipped with large, flying cockroaches; two scantily clad neighbors who entertain male friends at the most astonishing times of night; three of your husband’s Coast Guard buddies who are wagering whether a fourth can sleep with a woman from each of the fifty states. Mix in the heat of a so-called tropical paradise. Add newlywed nerves and a large pinch of passion. Put in the oven, and hope for a marriage that lasts.

Regina or the Sins of the Fathers

Regina or the Sins of the Fathers

Peace was signed, and the world, which for so long had been the great Corsican's plaything, came to itself again. It came to itself, bruised and mangled, bleeding from a thousand wounds, and studded with battle-fields like a body with festering sores. Yet, in the rebound from bondage to freedom, men did not realise that there was anything very pitiable in their condition. The ground from which their wheat sprang, they reflected, would bear all the richer fruit from being soaked in blood, and if bullets and bayonets had thinned their ranks, there was now more elbow-room for those who were left.
