My name’s Taylor Black and gaining my trust doesn’t come easy when you’re in my shoes.
A good looking twenty-one-year-old pro baseball pitcher in his hometown? Girls flock to me but for two things only.
Sex. And money.
Well. Flocked.
Ever since an on-field fight ended my pitching career faster than a 100mph strikeout, my luck seems to have run out.
No luck. No baseball. No sex drive.
In its place? Pure anger.
The curse of Taylor Black’s broken dick didn’t look like it was ever going to be broken. But then I met Blake and everything changed. She’s different. Refreshing. She doesn’t throw herself at me and she doesn’t give a damn what people think about her.
She’s also the shrink I’ve been assigned to help me with the anger issues I apparently have.
Blake listens.

In the summer of 1977, Shelby Colter moved back to Memphis, Tennessee hoping to make a fresh start after breaking off her engagement. Working as a patient representative hostess at Baptist Memorial Hospital — the world’s largest private hospital — she’s thrilled with her new job, assisting patients with their non-medical needs.

In this groundbreaking epic biography, Douglas Brinkley draws on never-before-published materials to examine the life and achievements of our “naturalist president.” By setting aside more than 230 million acres of wild America for posterity between 1901 and 1909, Theodore Roosevelt made conservation a universal endeavor. This crusade for the American wilderness was perhaps the greatest U.S. presidential initiative between the Civil War and World War I. Roosevelt’s most important legacies led to the creation of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and passage of the Antiquities Act in 1906. His executive orders saved such treasures as Devils Tower, the Grand Canyon, and the Petrified Forest.

Toland supplements his captivating history with in-depth interviews with more than two hundred American soldiers, as well as North Korean, South Korean, and Chinese combatants, plus dozens of poignant photographs, bringing those who fought to vivid life and honoring the memory of those lost.
