After breaking their betrothal, she flees to London with the hope of starting her life over and putting the past firmly behind her.

Though he’s recovering from a broken heart of his own, more than just his honor urges him to protect the lady when her nefarious ex-beau arrives in Town with the most wicked of intentions.

Book Description
Experiences in life! The pain and the love and the joy of life! Experiences! We all have them, and we all live it; some people simply talk about them, and relate stories of them, and as the author states in his first non-fiction book, some choose to document and share them. In Experiences. A Series of Essays on My Life, Mr. Paul John Hausleben documents and shares his experiences, and it thrills readers that he did so! Author, publisher, semi-pro hockey goaltender, vice president of a company, award-winning photographer, raconteur, traveler, adventurer, electrician and electronics tech, radio operator, and so much more. From humble roots in Paterson and Haledon, New Jersey, born of a gentle mother with English immigrant roots and a street-smart and tough father squarely from the streets of Paterson, NJ, Paul John Hausleben set out to conquer the world. This is the amazing story of his experiences and adventures; told in his own words, in his special way. Here, within the pages of this book, The Master Storyteller documents in chapters consisting of a series of essays, the experiences of his remarkable life. The author states in his opening notes for the book, “This book is not an autobiography of Paul John Hausleben. It is simply a collection of a series of essays on my own experiences. Just as the title states.” And within the over four-hundred pages, Mr. Hausleben writes of the experiences of his amazingly diverse working career in many locations throughout the United States. He tells of his writing experiences and the loneliness, hard work, and the joys of writing and what motivates him to write. There are powerful essays of experiences as the author tells of battling injuries from playing the position of hockey goaltender, and of encountering life-threatening surgery, recovering, and struggling through depression afterwards. The author relates what his hockey career, his parents, teachers, employers, and mentors meant to him and taught him, what his photography career taught him about the world, and in a most unusual chapter of essays, the author relates amazing essays of experiences of his encounters with the weird and unexplained of this world. Ghostly encounters, humorous and odd people and situations, premonitions, strange events, and places and more! Then, to cap the book off, in a display of unusual behavior for the author, Mr. Hausleben, lets his normally reserved opinions loose in a no-holds-barred chapter, “My Views from The PJH Writing Command Center.” In this series of essays, the author cuts loose with his opinions, thoughts, and observations on the current state of affairs in the world, social media dangers and influences, the modern workplace and workers, COVID-19 and other current topics. The author is, as he says, “A tell it as it is, factual guy from Paterson, New Jersey” and in that chapter, he reveals his powerful thoughts and observations on a wide variety of current subjects. Throughout the book, the words as they typically are with the author remain honest, powerfully emotional, straightforward, and sometimes joyful, and in other cases, tearful. This is not a self-help book, nor is it an autobiography, it is simply a book of experiences of a life well-lived. To think it is not over yet! Are there more experiences to follow? Time will tell! “Paulie, you need to write the book of your experiences. Either no one will believe them, or they will believe me when I tell them that Paul John Hausleben has lived a thousand lives.” He did so and here it is!

Book Description
This “sublimely sensual Regency [romance] delivers wit, a tightly knit plot, a refreshingly different hero, and a realistically complicated heroine” (Booklist, starred review). She is difficult, demanding, and at times, quite fierce. And Dr. John Blackmore can’t take his eyes off her. The Countess of Randolph is the most striking woman he has ever seen . . . and the most infuriating patient he has ever tended. Mired in responsibility, Bathsheba doesn't have time to convalesce in the country. She should be in London, hunting for a wealthy new lover to pay off her late husband's vast debts, not dallying with a devastatingly handsome doctor. But it is only a matter of time until the good doctor and the obstinate countess will have to contend with the sparks that fly between them. And once their bodies surrender, their hearts may follow . . .

Two secrets. One bet. Who will break first? Taylor Caldwell can't decide if she wants to kiss her new college roommate or punch him. On the one hand, Hunter Zaccadelli is a handsome blue-eyed bundle of charm. On the other, he's a tattooed, guitar-playing bad boy. Maybe that's why Taylor's afraid of falling in love with him, or anyone else. She doesn't want to get burned, so she needs him gone before it's too late. Hunter himself has been burned before, but Taylor's sexy laugh and refusal to let him get away with anything make her irresistible. Determined not to be kicked out of her life without a fight, Hunter proposes a bet: if she can convince him she either truly loves or hates him, he'll leave the apartment—and leave her alone. But when the man behind Taylor's fear of giving up her heart resurfaces, she has to decide: trust Hunter with her greatest secret, or do everything in her power to win that bet and drive him away forever.

Book Description
"From celebrated music writer Dan Ozzi comes a comprehensive chronicle of the punk music scene's evolution from the early nineties to the mid-aughts, following eleven bands as they dissolved, "sold out," and rose to surprise stardom. From its inception, punk music has been identified by two factors: its proximity to "authenticity," and its reliance on an antiestablishment ethos. Yet, in the mid- to late '90s, major record labels sought to capitalize on punk's rebellious undertones, leading to a schism in the scene: to accept the cash flow of the majors, or stick to indie cred?Sellout chronicles the evolution of the punk scene during this era, focusing on prominent bands as they experienced the last "gold rush" of the music industry. Within it, music writer Dan Ozzi follows the rise of successful bands like Green Day and Jimmy Eat World, as well as the implosion of groups like Jawbreaker and At the Drive-In, who buckled under the pressure of their striving labels. Featuring original interviews and personal stories from members of eleven of modern punk's most (in)famous bands, Sellout is the history of the evolution of the music industry, and a punk rock lover's guide to the chaotic darlings of the post-grunge era.

Book Description
In Write Like This: Teaching Real World Writing Through Modeling and Mentor Texts, author and teacher Kelly Gallagher recognizes that writing well starts with teaching students WHY they should write. He believes we need to move beyond the state standards by introducing young writers to real-world discourses and provide them with authentic texts to influence and develop life-long skills. Each chapter focuses on a specific writing purpose: Express and Reflect: View life experiences in reverse to move forward Inform and Explain: State a point and purpose with information to support it Evaluate and Judge: Focus' on the worth of an object, idea, or person and present' it as 'bad or 'good Inquire and Explore: Propose' a problem or question Analyze and Interpret: Examine phenomena that are difficult to understand or explain Take a Stand/Propose a Solution: Persuade audience to particular position and provide' justification' ' In teaching these lessons, Gallagher provides mentor texts (professional samples as well as models he has written in front of his students), student writing samples, and numerous assignments and strategies proven to elevate student writing. By helping teachers bring effective modeling practices into their classrooms, Write Like This enables students to become better adolescent writers. More important, the practices found in this book will help our students develop the writing skills they will need to become adult writers in the real world. '
