Book Description
Can she withstand the storms of life that blow her way? Gloriana Womack's family is much smaller since scarlet fever killed her mother and two of her siblings. She's dedicated her modest life in Duluth, Minnesota, to holding the remains of her fractured family together, caring for her father and younger brother. But it is hard not to be overrun by worry when her father is often gone on long fishing trips, their livelihood coming from the waters of the temperamental and sometimes deadly Lake Superior. Luke Carson has come to Duluth to help shepherd the arrival of the railroad to the city's port, and he's eager to be reunited with his brother and sister-in-law, who recently moved there and are expecting their first child. Competition for the railroad is fierce, with the neighboring city of Superior, Wisconsin, fighting for the tracks to come through their town instead. But the real danger lies in a man who has followed Luke across the country with revenge on his mind. When tragedy brings Gloriana and Luke together, they help each other through their grief and soon find their lives inextricably linked. If they survive the trials ahead, could it be possible they've been destined for each other all along? "Peterson delivers a touching tale of love built out of shared grief in this enjoyable first installment of the Ladies of the Lake series. . . . Peterson creates a memorable romance between Luke and Gloriana that's rooted in mutual hardship and renewed faith. This series is off to a strong start."--Publishers Weekly

Book Description
PROLOGUE Accused of using his well-known import/export company as a front for an illegal smuggling operation, Halston Wellington, II was not only faced with losing his three-generation business, he was faced with losing his freedom … and something even more valuable, he realizes upon meeting international criminal attorney Candace Younger. *** “And what is that Halston? What do you want?” Candace asked, her light-brown gaze holding his steamy emerald one. Was the candlelight playing tricks, or did the color of his eyes change with his emotions – like that mood ring she remembered getting as a retro holiday gift as a child? “Even though I asked you first, I will answer first,” he said. “Would it surprise you to know that I want a family? … Would it surprise you to know that what I want most of all Candace, is you?” *** Lying under him, Candace curved her body into his. "Mmm," she cooed as her palms glided along the smoothness of his shoulders and back. "Adios mio you're so beautiful," he whispered into the curve of her neck. "I want you so very much." Candace closed her eyes, silently begging him for the ultimate joining of their bodies. *** They could have had it all ... if only he hadn't betrayed her, she thought. And the part that hurt the most was -- he’d planned his betrayal from day one. And oh how expertly he’d carried it out. He'd played her like a violin, Shakespearean-like language and all: “I was destined for thee, as you were for me. Maybe, just maybe, we were destined to be.” It was so real. How could it all have been such a lie? *** Candace found solace in her work, especially after losing her beloved boyfriend Tom to cancer three years ago. She’d slowly dipped her toes back into the dating pool, but hadn’t come close to clicking with anyone until she met the magnetic Halston Wellington, II. Worldly, intelligent, successful and intimidatingly handsome – he was everything a woman could want in a man. It didn’t make sense that he was single … until she discovers the real reason for his interest in her. He was right, they were destined to be, but was it for love, or was he using her for something much more nefarious? ### Relevant Search Terms: interracial romance, bwwm romance, multicultural romance, african american romance, steamy romance, short story romance, womens fiction, black love

For when Kirstin opens their front door one day, she finds the brother she long thought dead on the other side. Domar begs his sister to say nothing to their parents, viewing their grief as payment for falsely accusing him of bad behavior years prior and driving him from their Swedish village.

When Domar's friend Ilian is hurt in an accident, Kirstin and her grandmother volunteer to care for him.

Book Description
The White Doe Of Rylstone, Or, The Fate Of The Nortons is a remarkable narrative poem that combines history with legend. It was set at the time of the Rising of the North, in 1559, when Catholic nobles from Northern England unsuccessfully attempted to depose Queen Elizabeth I of England to replace her with Mary, Queen of Scots. It was written in 1807-08, but not finally revised and published until 1815. William Wordsworth (1770 - 1850) was an English Romantic poet. He was Britain's poet laureate from 1843 until his death in 1850. He initially refused to accept this honour, citing that he was to old, but the Prime Minister, Robert Peel, assured him that nothing would be required of him. He therefore became the only poet laureate to write no official verses while holding the title.
