She needs a total life reboot…even if it means marrying a stranger Taya Maverick has just volunteered to marry a random Navy SEAL as part of the military’s new spouse-matching program. What other choice does she have? Her former best friend killed her father and torched her house. Taya’s determined to start over, but to be safe she has to disappear. The program is the perfect opportunity, complete with refuge and a built-in bodyguard. Her Navy SEAL husband can keep her safe, right? After one spectacularly disastrous marriage, Jim Stephens nixes round two. But his commanding officer never accepts no for an order. While an injury may have sidelined him temporarily, Jim still needs to salvage his career after a mistake in combat puts him in leadership’s cross-hairs. Being the first in the pilot program guarantees him his rank and eventual active duty clearance…as long as he can last the trial year. The I dos are barely uttered before Jim and Taya realize they’ve each miscalculated. Their sizzling chemistry might lead to bed, but neither is prepared to open their heart. And then Taya’s past comes knocking...

Little Creek is a story of the triumph of the human spirit in a time of turmoil and change in the fledgling United States of America. In this riveting story you will meet three people who come together by chance but stay together by choice. The relationship that was to develop between Sally, Mender and Little Creek was to surpass the language barrier, the cultural differences, numerous misunderstandings and tremendous dangers and odds. Following the memories of Sally, Mender and Little Creek, you relive the trials of their lives before their paths converge. You get a glimpse into the life of slavery just a few years before the War Between the States as well as the sadness of the southeastern Indian tribes during the time of the Indian Removal Act of 1830 which brought about the Trail of Tears (or the Trail Where They Cried, according to the Cherokee). The story's setting in Florida also introduces you to the Spanish influence in early La Florida where you meet a slave named Beulah and Juan Carlos Mendoza de Cordoba in St. Augustine. Juan Carlos had chosen to remain in Florida when the territory was ceded to the fledgling United States in 1822. Beulah was an old slave owned by a cruel master named Silas. They both play an important part in the lives of Little Creek, Sally and Mender and you will experience true loyalty and courage even to the point of death.Pressure from Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee and North and South Carolina had forced many Creek Indians into La Florida to escape the persecution on their own lands as the relentless white man pushed them further and further south. They came to escape death and they came to escape the forced marches west into the Indian Territory. What they found in Florida was a new hope. They were accepted by the Timucua, the Calusa, and the Tomokoans, at least what was left of them. Together with runaway slaves such as the enigmatic Abraham, they started to grow and form a new society in Florida. They adapted to the new, harsh environment and the Creek cuko became the Seminole chickee. They became masters of the swamps and could disappear into their settlements deep in the swamps as rapidly as a Panther could blend into the palmettos. As you follow the story of Little Creek, you will journey through the plantations of the Old South, the Spanish settlement of St. Augustine, the flight through Florida and the trials of the Seminoles as they struggle to maintain their freedom and their land. Your heart will break with Little Creek, Sally and Mender as they are forced by bounty hunters and soldiers to flee their home. You will be there when they come intimately involved in the Seminole Wars and the army of the relentless Andrew Jackson. They face cruel slave owners, injustice, hurricanes, wild animals, bounty hunters, personal loss and joy as the power of love becomes a force powerful enough to bring peace in a troubled world. A young Muskogee boy orphaned on the trail. An escaped slave couple. An ancient Spanish city during the Seminole War. Little Creek is a story of the triumph of the human spirit in a time of turmoil and change in the fledgling United States. In this riveting story you will meet three people who come together by chance but stay together by choice. As you follow the story of Little Creek, you will journey through the plantations of the Old South, the Spanish settlement of St. Augustine, the flight through Florida and the trials of the Seminoles as they struggle to maintain their freedom and their land.

"Little Walkers Creek: A History of the Land and Its People" is the most complete history of this area in Southwestern Virginia ever written. This work encompasses all events in the area from the late 1700's into the early 1900's, with an emphasis on family genealogies. The author has researched in depth the First Land Grants located at the Library of Virginia and traced them forward at the local county courthouses in Montgomery, Wythe, Pulaski and Bland counties. With this newly rediscovered information at hand, the reader may now be able to trace how his ancestor acquired his land and, possibly, if it was later donated to a church, county school or even for use as a cemetery. Ms. Sowers has also studied the census records from that period to obtain even more detailed information. Is it possible that your ancestor had children that you did not know about? Yes! Many children disappeared from one census to another indicating that the child had perhaps died from an epidemic or illness such as diphtheria or yellow fever. This history may help you uncover the long lost relative - which you didn't even know was lost! Was your ancestor a Confederate soldier or the widow of a Confederate soldier? The author has laboriously transcribed the available military records such as the Confederate Pensions, which provide precise information such as age and place of birth, occupation, service during the war and injuries or sickness. The Confederate Widows Pensions will provide information such as marriage place and date, place of birth and date, and cause, place and date of death of husband. Structured and detailed genealogies will also assist the reader in discovering the relationships between individuals, and in some cases, photographs depict the people who made up the fascinating human landscape of the region. This history is a "must have" if you have ancestors from the Little Walkers Creek area, or have an interest in the history of the region, and it will surely prove to be an invaluable asset as you conduct your research.

New York Times bestselling adult author of The Bear and the Nightingale makes her middle grade debut with a creepy, spellbinding ghost story destined to become a classic. After suffering a tragic loss, eleven-year-old Ollie only finds solace in books. So when she happens upon a crazed woman at the river threatening to throw a book into the water, Ollie doesn't think—she just acts, stealing the book and running away. As she begins to read the slender volume, Ollie discovers a chilling story about a girl named Beth, the two brothers who both loved her, and a peculiar deal made with "the smiling man," a sinister specter who grants your most tightly held wish, but only for the ultimate price. Ollie is captivated by the tale until her school trip the next day to Smoke Hollow, a local farm with a haunting history all its own. There she stumbles upon the graves of the very people she's been reading about. Could it be the story about the smiling man is true? Ollie doesn't have too long to think about the answer to that. On the way home, the school bus breaks down, sending their teacher back to the farm for help. But the strange bus driver has some advice for the kids left behind in his care: "Best get moving. At nightfall they'll come for the rest of you." Nightfall is, indeed, fast descending when Ollie's previously broken digital wristwatch, a keepsake reminder of better times, begins a startling countdown and delivers a terrifying message: RUN. Only Ollie and two of her classmates heed the bus driver's warning. As the trio head out into the woods—bordered by a field of scarecrows that seem to be watching them—the bus driver has just one final piece of advice for Ollie and her friends: "Avoid large places. Keep to small." And with that, a deliciously creepy and hair-raising adventure begins.

A powerful exploration of grief and resilience following the death of the author's son that combines memoir, reportage, and lessons in how to heal Everyone deals with grief in their own way. Helen Macdonald found solace in training a wild goshawk. Cheryl Strayed found strength in hiking the Pacific Crest Trail. For Carol Smith, a Pulitzer Prize nominated journalist struggling with the sudden death of her seven-year-old son, Christopher, the way to cross the river of sorrow was through work. In Crossing the River, Smith recounts how she faced down her crippling loss through reporting a series of profiles of people coping with their own intense challenges, whether a life-altering accident, injury, or diagnosis. These were stories of survival and transformation, of people facing devastating situations that changed them in unexpected ways. Smith deftly mixes the stories of these individuals and their families with her own account of how they helped her heal. General John Shalikashvili, once the most powerful member of the American military, taught Carol how to face fear with discipline and endurance. Seth, a young boy with a rare and incurable illness, shed light on the totality of her son's experiences, and in turn helps readers see that the value of a life is not measured in days. Crossing the River is a beautiful and profoundly moving book, an unforgettable journey through grief toward hope, and a valuable, illuminating read for anyone coping with loss.

New York Times Bestselling author Corinne Michaels returns to the Willow Creek Valley Series in this stunning small town, brother's best friend romance. Fifteen years ago, I fell for Jack O'Donnell. I was just a girl, but I knew my brother's best friend was the only man I'd ever love. On my eighteenth birthday, when I asked him to kiss me, I never imagined it would change my life so completely. I gave Jack everything that night. In order to move on, we had to go our separate ways and pretend like nothing happened... as though it wasn't the greatest moment of my life. But even that wasn't as heartbreaking as the secret we were forced to keep. I've tried not to think about how much I still love him. How I long to be back in his strong arms or the way his hazel eyes make my heart race. Until he kisses me again. And this time there's no turning back. This time I know what it means. We belong together and there's no use denying it any longer. But our feelings aren't the only thing that won't stay buried, our past resurfaces and threatens to destroy our second chance at happiness. When our love is tested once again, will we be strong enough to stand together?
