They need to get along… For the sake of planning their best friends’ wedding shower, divorce attorney Xander Ryan and wedding coordinator Grace Harris are calling a truce.

They promised to get along for his sister’s wedding. Keeping their word could change everything. Jessa Landry’s best friend is getting married, making her the last single member of her friend group, the Solo Sisters. Now more than ever, she feels destined to end up alone like she always feared she would. But no matter how much she wishes things would stay the same, she wants Ellie to have the perfect wedding. So, she’ll play nice, pretend like donning a pink bridesmaid dress doesn’t make her want to crawl out of her skin, and curb her tongue around Ethan, Ellie’s annoyingly cheerful brother. They might be famous for their bickering, but they agreed to keep the peace for the weekend. As wedding festivities unfold, Jessa finds herself constantly paired with Ethan. The more time they’re together, the more she sees what’s really behind his jovial facade, and her grumpy shell begins to crack. But Jessa’s issues with abandonment and betrayal could make it impossible for her to open her heart. Even to the man who might be exactly what she needs. The Wedding Truce is a sweet, closed door (kissing only), reverse grumpy sunshine, opposites attract, small-town romcom with lots of sizzling tension and none of the spice.

On 8 July 1921 a Truce between the IRA and British forces in Ireland was announced, to begin three days later. However, in those three days at least sixty people from both sides of the conflict were killed. In 'Truce', Pádraig Óg Ó Ruairc goes back to the facts to reveal what actually happened in those three bloody days, and why. •What sparked Belfast's 'Bloody Sunday' in 1921, the worst bout of sectarian violence in Northern Ireland's troubled history? • Why were four unarmed British soldiers kidnapped and killed by the IRA in Cork just hours before the ceasefire began? •Who murdered Margaret Keogh, a young Dublin rebel, in cold blood on her own doorstep? •Were the last spies shot by the IRA really working for British intelligence or just the victims of anti-Protestant bigotry? This book answers these questions for the first time and separates fact from fiction to find out what really happened in the final battles between the IRA and the British forces.
In this edited volume, Theda Perdue, a nationally known expert on Indian history and southern women's history, offers a rich collection of biographical essays on Native American women. From Pocahontas, a Powhatan woman of the seventeenth century, to Ada Deer, the Menominee woman who headed the Bureau of Indian Affairs in the 1990s, the essays span four centuries. Each one recounts the experiences of women from vastly different cultural traditions--the hunting and gathering of Kumeyaay culture of Delfina Cuero, the pueblo society of San Ildefonso potter Maria Martinez, and the powerful matrilineal kinship system of Molly Brant's Mohawks. Contributors focus on the ways in which different women have fashioned lives that remain firmly rooted in their identity as Native women. Perdue's introductory essay ties together the themes running through the biographical sketches, including the cultural factors that have shaped the lives of Native women, particularly economic contributions, kinship, and belief, and the ways in which historical events, especially in United States Indian policy, have engendered change.
