Book Description
Sixteen-year-old Alex Lambrose has just moved from San Francisco to Highland Ridge, North Carolina, an isolated town located deep in the Great Smoky Mountains. The move appears to be a dull trade off until his two new friends, Corbin Henley and Zane Fletcher, divulge a ghoulish legend about a witch named Hephzibah Dunnagan. Curious about the witch and her supposed demise, the boys head toward Dunnagan’s Peak with only an antiquated map to guide them. Exploring the abandoned village for clues about the witch seems like harmless fun for the boys until Alex mysteriously uncovers an eighteenth-century journal hidden within the walls of Hephzibah’s cabin. After he makes the precarious decision to stash the book in his backpack and keep it a secret, Alex must decide what to do with it. As he reads the entries, Alex not only uncovers the dark reality surrounding the legend but also his own shocking connection to Highland Ridge. Now only one question remains: what is he going to do about it?

Book Description
Who is Pete Rose? Is he Charlie Hustle, the all-American kid who never grew up, who pushed and stretched himself to get the most out of his limited talent, who would do anything in his power to win and to be a part of the game he loved? Or is he the bloated ex-athlete who broke baseball's one absolute taboo, and who was willing to drag down the whole structure of the sport to save himself? In January 2004, Pete Rose publicly admitted to betting on baseball and began his controversial campaign to get himself off the ineligible list and into the Baseball Hall of Fame. His recently published autobiography, the baseball legend's selective telling of the truth, only furthers the myth and the mystery that surrounds him. With a new, updated introduction by the author, and packed with interviews with Rose's family, his teammates, sportswriters, and police investigators, Hustle is the real, objective story of the life of Pete Rose.

Book Description
Sea monsters have no place in modern science. Try telling them that. Corrie loves being a marine biologist, even if research money is a constant struggle. But studying sea anemones isn’t as ground-breaking as the mermaid she saw. She can’t tell anyone—one slip of her overactive tongue, and Corrie’s career would tank faster than a submarine. When mysterious free diver Zeballos offers her his ship to collect samples, cash-strapped Corrie eagerly sets sail. A bizarre fish jumps over the bow, hinting at answers to Corrie’s tantalizing questions, but she’s not the only hunter. A desperate drug dealer is hellbent on exploiting the rare sea creatures, and he’ll do anything to stop Corrie from stealing his product. Together, Corrie and Zeballos navigate dangerous waters, dodge ruthless fishermen, and dive into uncharted knowledge. Still, mysteries layer on mysteries. Why is secretive Zeballos so fascinated by the rare fish? And what disturbed nightmares will hunt them from the depths of the ocean?

Book Description
India, 1820 Georgiana Phillips always conducted herself according to the rules of polite society. So catching Simon Ashford in a compromising position should have been shocking. Instead it was…arousing. And kissing him herself was absolutely delicious—until it led to her ruination. That perfect, scandalous kiss has haunted Simon for six years. He doesn't regret it, though he's tried desperately to restore Georgie's reputation. When he's ordered to look after her in the wilds of India, it's an opportunity to finish what he started. But he's no match for Georgie's adventurous spirit—she seems set on getting herself killed, diving in after hungry crocodiles and braving monsoons to hunt for lost treasure. Georgie wouldn't trade her exciting new life for anything in the world, including marriage. And yet Simon seems determined to rein her in, rewarding her brief moments of propriety with kisses far more exotic than any tribal ceremony or archaeological expedition. How can he convince her that she's so much more than a beautiful obligation? 100,000 words
