I spent ten years forgetting Wilder Flint, and it took every minute. I should have known better than to fall for his shallow charms and deep blue eyes, but I was good at calculus and bad at understanding people. He shredded my heart to pieces, but I moved away, grew up, and got over him. At least, I thought I did. Of course he shows up again in my new life. He’s got the same eyes, the same cocky grin, and a brand-new swagger that makes me weak in the knees. I’ve got a summer research project in the Arctic and three canceled flights. Wilder’s got a plane. But when we crash deep in the middle of nowhere, all we’ve got is each other. I've spent ten years hating Wilder for what he did to me back then. I don't know if I can forgive him. I don't know how to forgive him. But that doesn’t mean I can resist him. After all, love and hate aren’t so different. The Savage Wild is a high-heat standalone romance. It's for fans of survival romance, enemies who become lovers, heroes who grovel, and anyone who likes a little pining. The hero is a rugged, outdoorsy bush pilot who's former military, and the heroine is the dorky scientist who has no choice but to trust him even though he broke her heart. It's a steamy, sweet story, and of course there's an HEA! This standalone is for fans of Sara Ney, Ava Harrison, and Rina Kent.

What happens when society finds a wild boy alone in the woods and tries to civilize him? A true story from the author of The Fairy Ring. One day in 1798, woodsmen in southern France returned from the forest having captured a naked boy. He had been running wild, digging for food, and was covered with scars. In the village square, people gathered around, gaping and jabbering in words the boy didn’t understand. And so began the curious public life of the boy known as the Savage of Aveyron, whose journey took him all the way to Paris. Though the wild boy’s world was forever changed, some things stayed the same: sometimes, when the mountain winds blew, “he looked up at the sky, made sounds deep in his throat, and gave great bursts of laughter.” In a moving work of narrative nonfiction that reads like a novel, Mary Losure invests another compelling story from history with vivid and arresting new life. Back matter includes an author’s note, source notes, and a bibliography.
Savage Girls and Wild Boys is a fascinating history of extraordinary children---brought up by animals, raised in the wilderness, or locked up for long years in solitary confinement. Wild or feral children have fascinated us through the centuries, and continue to do so today. In a haunting and hugely readable study, Michael Newton deftly investigates a number of infamous cases. He looks at Peter the Wild Boy, who gripped the attention of Swift and Defoe, and at Victor of Aveyron, who roamed wild in the forests of revolutionary France. He tells the story of a savage girl lost on the streets of Paris, of two children brought up by wolves in the jungles of India, and of a Los Angeles girl who emerged from thirteen years locked in a room to international celebrity. He describes, too, a boy brought up among monkeys in Uganda; and in Moscow, the child found living with a pack of wild dogs. Savage Girls and Wild Boys examines the lives of these children and of the adults who "rescued" them, looked after them, educated, or abused them. How can we explain the mixture of disgust and envy that such children can provoke? And what can they teach us about our notions of education, civilization, and man's true nature?
