When a dead body swan-dives from a balcony into the pool at a wedding, gossip comes to a halt about disgraced paralegal and former rodeo queen Emily\u2014whose husband left her for a woman who turns out to be a man. Enter Jack, a secretive attorney and sexy mix of cowboy and Indian. She refuses to work for him, until she learns about the disappearance of the six-year old daughter of his notorious client Sofia, the wedding shooter, who is also an illegal immigrant. Emily feels a strange affinity with the girl and launches a desperate search for her. Bodies pile up in her wake across Texas and New Mexico as the walls around her own secrets begin to crumble, and the authorities question whether the child is anything but a figment of her imagination.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Raised in a family of rodeo champions on a South Texas cattle ranch, Charlie wants only one thing: to avoid thrill-seeking cowboys.<\/p>\n Davis Murphy, cowboy wannabe and one of Dallas’s most eligible bachelors, needs a pretty and witty faux fianc\u00e9e so his widowed mother will marry her longtime gentleman friend. Charlie, his local librarian, seems the prefect choice.<\/p>\n Charlie’s first reaction is to run, but she’s promised herself to step out of her plain-jane routine. When Charlie accepts, Davis’s plan is set. But now Charlie’s sweet ways are challenging his bachelor heart.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Josephine McMaster is pretty and smart, but very much a klutzy mess. Finally, at 26, she may have actually lost the dreaded \u2018McMaster the Disaster\u2019 nickname that has followed her around her whole life.<\/p>\n Josie\u2019s quite content to be single, much to her mother\u2019s disappointment. So when a bizarre contest is announced where a socialite is holding a lottery to pick her bridesmaids (and rake in a little extra cash), she can\u2019t roll her eyes fast enough, even if it does mean meeting Jake Hall, her one and only movie star crush. Obviously, Josie doesn\u2019t enter the bridesmaid lottery, so you can imagine her surprise when her picture pops up among the winners, thanks to Mom. With a little prodding — okay bribing — Josie agrees to participate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n I DIDN’T PLAN TO FALL IN LUST that scorching hot summer day. And yet, that’s exactly what I did.

The drug I can’t live without. I risk everything I’ve worked for to be with him–my job, my career, my future. But I can’t walk away. Because all I care about is his kiss, his touch, and the way he makes me feel when I’m in his arms.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n When a school assignment leads to information about a sea-monster-worshipping cult, Lu can\u2019t help seeing connections to the animals being found on her beach. More disturbing are the links she uncovers between her own family and the violent legend. Soon enough, more about Lu\u2019s world starts to seem unreal: she gets into a knock-down drag-out with her BFF, is plagued by insomnia and chronic exhaustion, and can\u2019t seem to fight the urge to pounce on the new kid in town who is all of a sudden very sexy\u2014and very interested in Lu. Taking cues from her newfound instinct\u2014and a strange alliance with the moon\u2014Lu knows she alone must uncover the truth, or risk becoming part of the legend herself.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Greyston Adair is a Scotttish rogue, a blackguard and a smuggler, although British Customs will have to catch him red-handed to prove the latter.

He’d only been part of my life for five short weeks two years ago. But now he was back. Walking into a deal I’d worked hard to close. And God, he was magnificent. His eyes were a brown so dark they were nearly black. Thickly lashed, they were relentless in their intensity. Had I really thought they were soft and warm? There was nothing soft about Jackson Rutledge. He was a hard and jaded man, cut from a ruthless cloth.<\/p>\n In that moment I understood how badly I wanted to unravel the mystery of Jax.

But as the team starts drilling exploration well after exploration well in their race to claim the sweet crude, a deep rumbling beneath the ocean floor shakes them all to their core. Something has been living in the oil and it’s about to give birth to the greatest threat humanity has ever seen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n America\u2019s Bitter Pill<\/i> is Steven Brill\u2019s acclaimed book on how the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, was written, how it is being implemented, and, most important, how it is changing\u2014and failing to change\u2014the rampant abuses in the healthcare industry. It\u2019s a fly-on-the-wall account of the titanic fight to pass a 961-page law aimed at fixing America\u2019s largest, most dysfunctional industry. It\u2019s a penetrating chronicle of how the profiteering that Brill first identified in his trailblazing Time<\/i> magazine cover story continues, despite Obamacare.
