For the readers who asked, and then asked again, and again! You guys are gluttons for punishment, and this is the book you wanted, so you got it! Welcome to Merc and Tiger Lily’s story. It starts where all stories should, in the beginning. This is the very broken beginning that won’t feel much at all like a romance, because it isn’t. Their road is bumpy, the ride is rough, and your heart might get a little bruised along the way. I hope you’re ready. You asked for this! xo, Christine Michelle BOOK DESCRIPTION: Tiger Lily When I was a little girl, I always dreamed of my wedding. I dreamed of my husband, my children, my future. When I developed a crush on the gorgeous boy who was my neighbor, he became the man in those dreams. When he took my virginity, those dreams were at the forefront of my mind, turning just another hook up - for him - into something more in my heart. Unrequited love feels like hell when you realize it’s unrequited. It feels worse when you see those two pink lines on the stick telling you that your one fantasy night turned into so much more. It’s unbearable when your love is forced to marry you, but never honors the vows he took. My heartbreak lasted for years. Eventually, things changed but our path to get there was never easy. Merc She was the girl I always overlooked until one stupid night, and the worst decision of my life, cost me my freedom. She was the girl who trapped me with a kid I never wanted. Slowly, as time moved on and another kid was brought about by another dumb decision on my part, I began to realize what I had been overlooking all along. She was fiercely loyal in the face of my betrayals. She loved harder than any person I knew. She was always there for me, even when I never gave her the same courtesy in return. Then, she decided enough was enough and I learned to fight for what’s important instead of taking what was easy.

Heartwarming and Heart-Opening Stories Gathered from Decades of Medical Practice Bernie Siegel first wrote about miracles when he was a practicing surgeon and founded Exceptional Cancer Patients, a groundbreaking synthesis of group, individual, dream, and art therapy that provided patients with a “carefrontation.” Compiled during his more than thirty years of practice, speaking, and teaching, the stories in these pages are riveting, warm, and belief expanding. Their subjects include a girl whose baby brother helped her overcome anorexia, a woman whose cancer helped her heal by teaching her to stand up for herself, and a family that was saved from a burning house by bats. Without diminishing the reality of pain and hardship, the stories show real people turning crisis into blessing by responding to adversity in ways that empower and heal. They demonstrate what we are capable of and show us that we can achieve miracles as we confront life’s difficulties.

Roughstock: Part One Blind Ride Jason Scott has everything a bull rider wants—success, money and traveling partner Andy Baxter. When he loses his sight in an accident, he stands to lose it all. Jason Scott is at the top of the bull riding game, on his way to a winning season. Along with his traveling partner, Andy Baxter, he's riding hard on the circuit, working around the country with all of the other bull riders and bullfighters, living the good life. The only thing he wishes he had is Bax, but he's afraid to take the step that would make them more than friends, worried that it will ruin everything. When a terrible accident leaves Jason unable to see, his whole life goes south. Jason decides to chuck it all, determined to go home and hide at his momma's ranch. Bax has other ideas. He wants to make sure his best friend doesn't give up, and he hatches a plan that stuns Jason and makes their friends and family think he's crazy. With the help of the other bull riders and a very persistent bull fighter named Coke, Bax convinces Jason to give life one more try. With Jason cautiously learning to hope, and his relationship with Bax going to the next level, life gets pretty complicated. Everyone gets in on the project, from Jason's strong-willed mother to an entire ranch full of children, all of them working to help Jason do what he loves. And a Smile All Coke Pharris wants is for his cowboys to be safe—all of them. When rodeo clown, Dillon, sets to prove that there's more to the bullfighter, people could get hurt. It's Coke Pharris' job to save bull riders from bulls, and he takes his work very seriously. Which is why he's devastated when one of his favorite riders gets hurt, and he's determined to help the young man ride again. Dillon Walsh is the arena entertainer for the bull riding tour, and he wants to help. He also wants Coke, has been admiring the man for a long time. He hasn't made a move on Coke for fear of messing up their friendship, but when he finds out Coke might feel the same way, Dillon has to try to win Coke over. Coke thinks he's too old for Dillon, too beat up and scarred, but he can't resist when Dillon finally makes a play for him. Dillon is like a wet dream for Coke, and the two of them have a great time getting to know each other better, at least until the danger of their job threatens to come between them. Will Dillon and Coke be able to help their friend and weather the problems that blow their way? File Gumbo Beau is riding like the two-time champ that he is, but nothing is assured in the world of bullriding—not happiness, not wealth, and not survival. Beau is a two-time champion bullrider who is working on his third title. Sam is his long-time lover and traveling partner, who is feeling the sting of having just about the worst season he can remember. The two of them are on the road together twenty-four-seven, and it's starting to get to them a little, between the constant injuries Sam faces, and the relentless press that Beau has to put up with. Add in friends on the circuit who need their help and the fact that they have to hide what they mean to each other, and it's no wonder that Sam and Beau's relationship is starting to wear a little from the friction. When things blow up in their faces, Sam leaves the bullriding tour for a while, but the boys find out they're far more miserable apart than they are together. Beau and Sam may agree to disagree in order to make peace and help out their friends Jason and Coke, but in the unpredictable world of extreme sports, nothing goes as it's planned. Can Beau and Sam recover from what just might be the last ride of Sam's
