Out of the blue, she loses her job, her shoe fund and her rent check in one fell swoop. Desperate to find another job, she takes an assistant position at a prestigious law firm to keep the creditors at bay while she looks for her dream job. But then she meets her boss. Or is that bosses? Adrian Cavallero is charming, smooth and confident. He and Cassie have an instant spark that is sure to ignite office gossip (amongst other things).

Cassie can't deny the instant attraction she feels for Adrian, but Blake's reserved nature intrigues her. Will she fan the flames with Adrian, or take it step by step with Blake? Is it worth putting everything on the line for love and lust or are other things more important?

But when Cassie gets offered her dream job at Cavloretta Couture, she once again has to work with Adrian Cavallero, the new CEO, which could make things very awkward given their turbulent past.

Arrowsmith has been inspirational for several generations of med students. Martin Arrowsmith agonizes over his career and life decisions never sure if he’s making the correct descisions. While the book details Arrowsmith's pursuit of the noble ideals of medical research for the benefit of mankind and of selfless devotion to the care of patients, Lewis throws many less noble temptations and self deceptions in Arrowsmith’s path. The attractions of financial security, recognition, even wealth and power distract Arrowsmith from his original plan to follow in the footsteps of his first mentor, Max Gottlieb, a brilliant but abrasive bacteriologist. A powerful novel that asks more questions than it answers. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize.

He might be easy on the eyes, but he's rough on the heart. I learned that one the hard way. Suddenly, there's a gigantic rock on my left ring finger that's as fake as our relationship-but our chemistry is all too real. At least there's no risk of me falling for him... right?

Thayer would pass anyone's background check anywhere, any time. And getting revenge? Well, that's just a bonus. She might not want to play along with the charade, but I have leverage-and she won't have a choice. * Otherwise Engaged is a steamy, enemies-to-lovers, fake engagement standalone novel with a HEA and no cliffhanger.
In 1880, ancient-growth forest still covered two-thirds of West Virginia, but by the 1920s lumbermen had denuded the entire region. Ronald Lewis explores the transformation in these mountain counties precipitated by deforestation. As the only state that lies entirely within the Appalachian region, West Virginia provides an ideal site for studying the broader social impact of deforestation in Appalachia, the South, and the eastern United States. Most of West Virginia was still dominated by a backcountry economy when the industrial transition began. In short order, however, railroads linked remote mountain settlements directly to national markets, hauling away forest products and returning wit...
