A standalone rivals-to-lovers romantic comedy about sex, love, and the written word, from the New York Times Bestselling Author of The Royals Upstairs and A Nordic King When I first met Blake Crawford, all I wanted to do was hit him in the face. Maybe the groin. Okay, maybe I wanted to kiss him too, but that's neither here nor there. I mean, he may have a gorgeous English accent, sexy full lips and an ass I'd like to bite but... Where was I? Right. Being in the same creative writing class, he's the last person I wanted to speak to, let alone be paired up with for my final assignment. But here comes the kicker...not only did our project end up getting us both As but we found out we work well together. Really well together. I hate him and he hates me and yet we churn out gold. We've started writing self-published erotica under a pen name and let me tell you one thing... Writing dirty sex scenes with the sexiest, most infuriating man you know is a lot harder than you think. And keeping our hands off each other? Well, that's another story...one with an ending I didn't see coming.
One bright day, Mouse and Momma head outside to play. The wind blows in something feathery and plump -- a bird, and something wiggly and pink -- a worm, and something green, who hops and leaps -- a frog. But before it's time to go back inside, Mouse finds something that's soft and new with petals... the prettiest flower he's ever seen! Could it mean spring is finally here?

Directed by Quebec business mogul and philanthropist, Luc Duchesne, the group uses their talents and resources to stand between people in trouble and the criminal elements who would do them harm. In Her Book of Shadows, Riker agrees to find a teenage girl, Jodie Burke, whose parents say ran away to Quebec City from Connecticut.

He races to find Jodie and prevent whoever is trying to kill her from succeeding.
A winsome calf provides the backdrop—literally—for this charming story. With each turn of the page, the young animal is imaginatively transformed to reflect some activity of the four seasons: snow melting, seedlings springing up, harvest, all the way to the snow melting again and revealing that—the calf has grown. The story line follows the cycle of the seasons from one spring to the next, and its spare, fluid text—wedded to the vigorous graphics—vividly conveys the underlying themes of renewal and growth. The colors are joyful and fresh, and the artist's playful approach to perspective makes this a lovely picture book.
This books taps into the powerful imagery of trees to suggest ways that one may sink roots into God's Word and grow strong branches that bear the fruits of faith.
