An orphan draws together a spoiled playboy and an independent woman in this contemporary romance by a USA Today–bestselling author. Women fall over themselves to say yes to anything Angelo van Zaal wants—so he’s shocked when proud redhead Flora Bennett says no to his plans! Flora is determined to adopt her baby niece, despite Angelo’s assumption that he will have guardianship. And, though he’s annoyed with himself for wanting her, Flora annoys Angelo even more for avoiding the shimmer of sexual attraction between them. There must be a way to make Flora obey all his wishes, and there is—but it involves an unexpected pregnancy and three more babies. . . .

In this study, nine florules from the Chloropagus Formation near Fernley, Nevada, are dated at 14.7-13.4 million years. The author finds that dominant mixed conifer forest and sclerophyll woodland species of the Sierra Nevada-Klamath region replaced exotic deciduous hardwoods in the two lowest sites. He concludes that this change reflects the loss of adequate summer rain as upwelling from a colder ocean resulted from spreading East Antarctic ice.
