Charley Sloan thought it was all behind him — his career, his wives, his drink problem.
The colourful life he had once lived seemed a vague memory; he was now a regular at local AA meetings and was scraping by with work, using an office in a quiet and uneventful probate firm.
There were no glamorous women, no exotic holidays and no flash cars.
There was just Charley, sobriety, a rented studio and an old Ford Escort.
Life was lonely without booze, but it was stable. That is, until the arrival of an expensive looking client in his shabby lawyer’s office…
Mooseletoe (paid link)
Alaska’s matchmaking moose, Bullwinkle, has his sights set on a most unlikely pair. Holly Noelle Snow loves Christmas so much she could be one of Santa’s elves, and Reese Sutton might as well be Scrooge. But there is no way BW will allow these two to ruin his perfect track record. Even if he has to bind them together with Christmas lights.
Police Chief Reese Sutton is haunted by his Christmas past, and he’s determined not to fall for Holly, the sexy shop owner of Mooseletoe, who promises to be as naughty as she is nice. While Sutton’s kisses burn Holly up, his bah humbug attitude leaves her cold, resurrecting her abandonment issues that she believed had been laid to rest.
It will take a Christmas miracle for these two opposites to risk their hearts again…or one very persistent moose.
The 30,000 ton, four funnel, 785-foot-long Cunard liner RMS Lusitania was the largest, most luxurious vessel on the transatlantic passenger run.
Newspapermen hailed her as ‘more beautiful than Solomon’s temple and big enough to hold all his wives’; ‘a skyscraper adrift and gorgeous in apartments; a marvel of speed and luxury’ and ‘as unsinkable as a ship can be’.
But on 7 May 1915, the German submarine U-20 torpedoed her, and she sank in just eighteen minutes.
Of the 1,959 passengers on board, 1,198 lost their lives, including 128 citizens of the then neutral United States.
