Royal Canadian Mounted Police Constable Malachy Corcoran takes a demotion in order to accept a front-line job far away from his old position. If he can just keep his head down, perhaps he’ll avoid the worst of the personal and professional disasters headed his way. But once in Mission City, BC, he finds the woman he once walked away from. The woman he’s never forgotten. Abigail Reardon manages the office at Healing Horses Ranch in Mission City. She never told Malachy that she decided to raise their gifted son as a single mother.

Harper's informs a diverse body of readers of cultural, business, political, literary and scientific affairs.
Almost everyone is familiar with the name of at least one Revolutionary War battle. Some, like Lexington and Concord, Bunker Hill, Saratoga, and Yorktown are household names. Others are less well known but readily recognized when mentioned. An engagement in Connecticut during the war’s seventh year, commanded by one of history’s most infamous military names, is not among them. Matthew E. Reardon has set out to rectify that oversight with The Traitor’s Homecoming: Benedict Arnold’s Raid on New London, Connecticut, September 4–13, 1781. By 1781, the war in North America had reached a stalemate. That changed during the summer when the combined Franco-American armies of Generals George...

The meaning of American history has rarely been contested more fiercely than during the current &"culture wars&" as Americans battle to define their past. Life in Early Philadelphia can contribute much to a reasoned discussion by giving readers the rare opportunity to interpret and reconstruct life in the country's premier urban center at a time when Americans struggled to establish their independence and to create a new nation. Covering the period from about 1775 to 1810, these remarkable documents reveal glimpses of the lives of everyday men and women&—from the impoverished, imprisoned, and enslaved to the &"middling sort&" and the wealthy. Each document is prefaced by a helpful introduction and is extensively annotated. A general introduction, glossary, bibliography, and guide to further reading make the book ideal for students and general readers. Taken as a whole, this collection reveals much about the shaping of American society.
The information herein was accumulated of fifty some odd years. The collection process started when TV first came out and continued until today. The books are in alphabetical order and cover shows from the 1940s to 2010. The author has added a brief explanation of each show and then listed all the characters, who played the roles and for the most part, the year or years the actor or actress played that role. Also included are most of the people who created the shows, the producers, directors, and the writers of the shows. These books are a great source of trivia information and for most of the older folk will bring back some very fond memories. I know a lot of times we think back and say, "Who was the guy that played such and such a role?" Enjoy!
A dissatisfied wife is tempted by another man in this novel by the New York Times–bestselling author of Out of the Blue: “A wonderful writer” (Luanne Rice, author of The Secret Language of Sisters). After seventeen years of marriage, Maggie Hollander seems like she has it all. Her husband, Matthew, still loves her deeply, and two irrepressible children complete the picture-perfect family in their elegant New York apartment. But at thirty-eight, Maggie has questions about herself that grow deeper and more disturbing. Once a promising artist, she decides to return to art class in search of answers. It is there she meets a sculptor who rekindles her talent—and her passion. David Golden will expose Maggie to a tenderness that is as liberating as it is dangerous, and will carry her toward an unforeseen choice . . . “A living, breathing portrait of a truly contemporary woman . . . A lovely read.” —Barbara Taylor Bradford, New York Times–bestselling author of Voice of the Heart
