A pest from the past ... Camille Kennedy can't believe who just walked into her tiny bakery. That tall, muscular stud? He's Beau Bradford, famous hockey hunk. But this isn't a happy high school reunion -- the arrogant athlete was a thorn in Camille's side and had a serious knack for bringing out her worst. And now that he's a star in the pros, he's even more chiseled and cocky. But Camille's too busy for jock mindgames. And she knows exactly where Beau's flirting leads. Like, a sinfully hot kiss in the back of a cab, for example. Or his giant hand, sliding under her dress and inching up her thighs ... You know what he's after. Don't fall for it! A hard-hitting, heart-breaking badboy ... Beau Bradford wears his reputation as the dirtiest player in the NHL like a badge of pride. He's no saint off the ice, either. When the team rolls into NYC for a road trip, Beau drops in on an old rival: class valedictorian, Camille. Voted most likely to succeed. So why is the prissy bookworm slinging cupcakes, while he makes millions cracking skulls? Ha ... who cares. She can deny it all she wants, but Beau knows better than anyone else that Little Miss Perfect has a dark side -- one that's begging and screaming to be let loose. Beau's goal? To even the score. Because nothing's hotter than a hate-fueled grudge f***. *** Grudge Puck is a 50,000 word hockey romance! This stand-alone novel is the second entry in the Colorado Blizzard series.

On December 6, 1917, two ships collided in Halifax Harbour. One ship was loaded top to bottom with munitions and one held relief supplies, both intended for wartorn Europe. The resulting blast flattened two towns, Halifax and Dartmouth, and killed nearly 2,000 people. As if that wasn't devastating enough, a blizzard hit the next day, dumping more than a foot of snow on the area and paralyzing much-needed relief efforts. Fascinating, edge-of-your-seat storytelling based on original source material conveys this harrowing account of tragedy and recovery. This thoroughly-researched and documented book can be worked into multiple aspects of the common core curriculum.

Enjoy this cowboy series by USA Today Bestselling small-town romance author Erin Wright… A country boy who hates Christmas for a reason, dammit… When Luke Nash runs into Stetson Miller down at the feed store, he never expects his friend to strong-arm him into spending Christmas at the Miller farm. Luke has no patience for Christmas cheer or Yuletide song. And the rugged cowboy definitely has no desire to kiss a girl under the mistletoe. No matter how infuriatingly pretty she might be. A city girl who loves Christmas… Bonnie Patterson adores Christmas, so when her best friend Jennifer invites her to spend Christmas at the Miller farm, she jumps at the chance. When she sets out for the snowy country town, she has visions dancing in her head of cozy nights by a crackling fire, not of a hot cowboy with an ice-cold heart. The Storm of the Century… Instead of a peaceful holiday in the country, Bonnie gets stranded at the Miller farm by a blizzard. Even worse, she’s snowed-in with Luke, an arrogant, impossible, but damn sexy cowboy. When the sparks fly, will two people who are oh-so-different find their own Christmas miracle?
