Leighton Stone, Earl of Longbridge, is used to danger. His years as a code breaker in Wellington’s army have been filled with it. All he wants, at the end of the Peninsular War, is to return to his estate and marry his childhood sweetheart, Maddie Westlake. Maddie, not a typical parson’s daughter, is tired of outwitting her parsimonious father to take care of Leighton’s tenants and tired of being taken for granted. When her father sends her away, Leighton tracks her to Bath and discovers he must woo Maddie to win her love. Conniving relatives try to keep them apart, but music and memories pull this pair together as they are drawn into a bizarre spy plot only Maddie can solve.
Heini (Henry) Sali (1690-1765) married Mariah Von Arx and immigrated in 1735 from Zeglingen, Switzerland to Orangeburgh District, South Carolina. A History of the Salley Family 1690-1965, is a genealogy of Heini and MariahOs descendants, sons Henry Salley Jr. and Martin Salley, who, emigrated with their parents from Switzerland. These two sons subsequently settled in the area of Salley, S.C. and their descendants are prominent among the peoples of Salley, and other areas of Aiken County, as well as North Carolina, Virginia, Kentucky, New Jersey, Georgia, Louisiana and the world. Olin Jones Sally spent many years compiling this comprehensive book which was published by the Salley Family Historical Committee after his death. The second edition corrects minor typographical errors only. Not covered in this genealogy is Heini SaliOs third son, John. Born in Orangeburgh in 1740, he remained in the Orangeburgh town area, and the many Salleys of Orangeburg are primarily descended from him.
Located just seconds from the winding Tennessee border, the remote mountain settlement of Lost Cove, North Carolina was once described as where the "moonshiner frolics unmolested." Today, Lost Cove is a ghost town accessible mainly to hikers hoping to catch a glimpse of the desolate settlement. In this first historically comprehensive book on Lost Cove, the author paints a portrait of an isolated yet thriving settlement that survived for almost one hundred years. From its founding before the Civil War to the town's ultimate decline, Lost Cove's history is an in-depth account of family life and kinship in isolation. The author explores historically relevant interviews and genealogical findings from railroad documents, old newspaper articles, church records and deeds. Also included are oral histories that provide authentic, conversational accounts from families in the cove.

But then they kidnap him and the temptation of Juliet’s lips is too much for any mortal to resist.

Can Gerard play this game and win Juliet's hand?
