Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wade and Royce are two very different men with a similar way of dealing with their naughty women: a good switch and a steady hand. Liz will do anything to get away from her evil guardian, even disguise herself as a boy and head west. When Caroline, a stranger on the train next to her, sees through her disguise and begs her to take her place as a mail-order bride, Liz doesn't hesitate long before saying yes. It had to be easier than working on a ranch, and as a married woman with a new name, she'll be out of her evil guardian's clutches forever. Wade Malone has been looking forward to his new bride for months, but when "Caroline" finally arrives, things don't exactly add up. For one, she was supposed to be twenty-four years old, and the woman who came off the train doesn't look a day over sixteen. He has a strong aversion to liars, particularly in a wife. But he's also a man who keeps his promises and whoever the woman is at his side, he's made a commitment to have and to hold. That doesn't mean he won’t blister her fanny if it will keep her safe. Even with his firm hand, Liz starts to fall for the no-nonsense rancher and his children. How will she ever keep him from finding out the complete truth about the switch? And if he does find out, will she have to leave the ranch she's come to love? Caroline can't follow through with the mail order marriage she had agreed to. Anxious to get home, she has more reason to hurry when she receives a wire relaying a family emergency. Traveling with the Union Pacific across the mid-west is a long, hot trip and Caroline's temper flares at the man who takes responsibility for the railroad’s many disappointments. Her temper isn't the only thing flaring, her bottom also feels the heat when Royce Ashby had had enough of her bad humor. A man's patience can only take him so far and it is quite obvious to him that Caroline is in need of a keeper. Two old favorites, rewritten as one, with a special, bonus chapter. Publisher's Note: This sweet, action-packed historical romance contains a theme of power exchange.

Book excerpt: Lillian Christian had a simple plan… All she had to do was sneak out of Virginia before her brother forced her to marry a man in order to get money. She was nothing but a commodity for her brother to sell, and she wasn’t going to have any part in it. So she answered Charles’ mail-order bride ad and headed for an untamed land where she could take on a whole new identity. But plans don’t always go as expected… On her way to marry her intended, a group of masked outlaws descend upon the stagecoach. And they are looking specifically for her. Mic has a plan of his own… The last thing Mic Gray wants to do is scare Lillian, but kidnapping her is the only way to stop her from marrying Charles. Mic’s face might be on the Wanted posters, but Charles is the real criminal in town. Only Mic’s lack of money and influence prevents him from proving it. The only way to keep Lillian safe is to become her husband. All he has to do is convince her he’s worth marrying.

Book Synopsis Giving Time a Chance by : Beppie Harrison
Download or read book Giving Time a Chance written by Beppie Harrison and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2014-04-07 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For anyone who wants to make a new marriage work or an old marriage stronger, here is inspiration and insight that no marriage counselor or psychologist could give you. In the wake of open marriage, marriage contracts, and no-fault divorce, the authors of this remarkable book have uncovered what it is that can make a marriage last a lifetime in these tumultuous times. Turning to the real experts (couples whose marriages have withstood the test of time), they have found that for all the striking dissimilarities in successful marriages, at the core of each is a real and definable commitment by the partners to each other and to the marriage. In the course of their research the authors have sat in hundreds of kitchens and living rooms listening to husbands and wives talk about how they have forged their relationships. The marriages range from two-paycheck, childless relationships to male-dominated families with a wife and kids at home, from affluent urban unions to marriages plagued with financial problems, from those fate has blessed to those it has been less kind to. What is highlighted again and again is the importance of putting marriage first in your life, of giving time a chance, and of believing that the good times will be renewed if a couple can get by the bad. Giving Time a Chance is a must for any couple planning to marry, for any couple thinking of divorce, for any couple wondering whether romance can be renewed, or for anyone questioning whether marriage still has a role in modern society. Here is a book for our times—a model of marriage in modern America.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ruben and Lillian (Martin) Corgill were my parents. Ruben was born in 1890. Lillian was born in 1898. Their lives spanned a time period from aEURoehorse and buggyaEUR days to the jet age and space exploration. However, the way they lived didn't change very much as the modern world was evolving around them. Throughout their productive years, they stuck to the old ways of surviving by being self-sufficient in a rural, agricultural environment. Their roots had not prepared them for aEURoegetting byaEUR in other ways. Even in the 1950s, they were still manually doing farm work when machines had replaced people and horses all around them. So many times, one day ended with no clear conviction that the next one wouldn't bring problems beyond their capabilities. How they managed to survive from day to day and year to year on the meager fruits of their labors and raise a family in the process is an outstanding example in human integrity and industry. They survived, though, and held their heads high to the end. Theirs is a story worth telling.
