Book Description
Spur Award-Winning Author, winner of the 2007 Spur Award for Best Original Paperback Novel for The Horse Creek Incident. Miss Stout Rice and Mr. Locke McTavish make an unlikely couple—but one hell of a team. The West proves wild from the get-go for gentleman farmer Locke McTavish, late of Illinois. Just off the train in Flagstaff, he steps right into a full-scale dustup. The tenderfoot with quick fists wins the brawl—but not before he loses his heart to lovely Stout Rice. She's as skilled a rider and roper as any seasoned cowhand, while a damned sight more pleasing to behold. And though Stout chuckles at McTavish's yen to set up in ranching, she agrees to give the slick-talking dandy a push in the right direction. The wagon ride to North Cut—where the Rice sisters tend their daddy's ranch—turns into a mighty tug-of-war between the mismatched duo. While Locke labors to court the feisty Stout, she busies herself trying to turn him into a competent frontiersman. Before walking arm-in-arm, though, they'll battle back-to-back against marauding Apaches and a pair of murderous outlaws with sore heads and itchy trigger fingers. Seems that when push comes to shove, it takes more than love to conquer all.... "Dusty's drawl humor makes his westerns larruping-good reads." —Suzann Ledbetter, Author of The Toast Always Lands Jelly-Side Down

No Place I'd Rather Be

Languages : en
Pages : 417
Book Description
Two years ago, Olivia Martindale left behind her Montana hometown and her husband, Jace, certain it was the best decision for both of them. Back temporarily to protect her almost-adopted daughters from their biological mother, she discovers an old, handwritten cookbook in the attic. Its pages are stained and torn, their edges scorched by flame. Some have been smeared by water ... or tears. The recipes are written in different hands and in different languages. In between the pages are intriguing mementos, including a feather, a pressed rose, a charm, and unfamiliar photographs. Hoping the recipes will offer a window into her grandmother's closely guarded past, Olivia decides to make each dish, along with their favorite family cake recipes, and records her attempts. The result, like much of her life to date, involves a parade of near-disasters and chaotic appearances by her doctor mother, her blunt grandma, her short-tempered sister, and Olivia's two hilarious daughters. The project is messy, real--and an unintended hit with viewers. Even more surprising is the family history Olivia is uncovering, and her own reemerging ties to Montana, and to Jace.

The Cabin at the End of the World
Author: Paul Tremblay
Publisher: HarperCollins
ISBN: 0062679120
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 309
Book Description
Paul Tremblay’s terrifying twist to the home invasion novel—inspiration for the upcoming major motion picture from Universal Pictures “Tremblay’s personal best. It’s that good.” — Stephen King Seven-year-old Wen and her parents, Eric and Andrew, are vacationing at a remote cabin on a quiet New Hampshire lake. Their closest neighbors are more than two miles in either direction along a rutted dirt road. One afternoon, as Wen catches grasshoppers in the front yard, a stranger unexpectedly appears in the driveway. Leonard is the largest man Wen has ever seen, but he is young, friendly, and he wins her over almost instantly. Leonard and Wen talk and play until Leonard abruptly apologizes and tells Wen, “None of what’s going to happen is your fault.” Three more strangers then arrive at the cabin carrying unidentifiable, menacing objects. As Wen sprints inside to warn her parents, Leonard calls out: “Your dads won’t want to let us in, Wen. But they have to. We need your help to save the world.” Thus begins an unbearably tense, gripping tale of paranoia, sacrifice, apocalypse, and survival that escalates to a shattering conclusion, one in which the fate of a loving family and quite possibly all of humanity are entwined. The Cabin at the End of the World is a masterpiece of terror and suspense from the fantastically fertile imagination of Paul Tremblay.
