Cowboy Kind of Bliss Wedding planner Valentine Hart has put together plenty of weddings, but after her last break-up, she doesn't have any prospects of her own. When her friend Todd Dayson proposes a wild idea of staging a wedding photoshoot to sell a package, their playful charade ignites unexpected feelings. When Val's ex steps back into the mix, Todd realizes he's got to seize the moment to prove he's the one Val's been waiting for. Cowboy Kind of Luck Westie Collins is determined to win the stallion of her dreams at an auction while avoiding Barrett Nash at all costs. However, fate has other plans after Nash outbids her. Her luck goes from bad to worse when she's forced to catch a ride on his private jet and it crashes in the wilderness. Stranded together, she discovers her companion is Beckett, Barrett's twin brother. As they set aside their differences and work together to survive, they discover an undeniable attraction amidst the chaos. But is their relationship circumstantial or can they build a solid foundation on love after everything?

Coy Beecher needs a wife to save his family ranch and when he learns Felicity's pregnant, their marriage is the perfect solution. As they navigate their arrangement, what looks good on paper blossoms into real love, but not everyone is thrilled with the marriage. As jealousy rears it's ugly head, Felicity and Coy will discover if those roots and the vows they made are strong enough to withstand the blaze of betrayal.

Written in prison in South Africa, Ireland and the United States, Enemy of the Empire was originally a device for keeping sane in a situation of extreme boredom and oppression. A trained aviation engineer, up-to-date with the latest technology, Eamon McGuire worked in countries that were extricating themselves from the bonds of empire such as Kenya and Malaysia. His mission was to keep ahead of the British army in terms of weapons and detection by procuring and designing systems. His activities forced him to go on the run, hiding in remote parts of Africa and eventually ending up in war-torn Mozambique. He was captured by the CIA in South Africa and subsequently spent several years in various prisons where he started to write what became the basis of this book.

In Jazz Age America and Europe few stars burned brighter than Seward Collins, who seemingly had it all - money, breeding, good looks, and literary talent. His friends included Fitzgerald, Dreiser, Mencken, and Hemingway, while among his lovers was Dorothy Parker. Yet, in the 1930s, this glittering creature would announce that he was a «Fascist». This book, useful for any study of the American Jazz Age or world Fascism, explores Collins' curious story, and asks if there might be a Fascist tradition in America, as much a part of the nation as Flag Day and apple pie.
