Pack Rule #1: Never reveal to a human. I broke that rule the day I met the beautiful doctor. I might be a rodeo champ, but one look at her, and I lost my concentration. The bull tossed and gored me, and now the sweet female is on to me. When I healed within hours, she knew something wasn’t right. My alpha told me to watch her. Not a problem. I’ll watch her all right. Real close. I’ll stick to her like superglue. And those human men who want to date her? They’d better step back. Because the doctor is all mine.

The novella "Devil's Ford" was created by American poet and writer Bret Harte and first released in 1863. The Gold Rush era takes place in the made-up California hamlet of Devil's Ford, where the story is set. The town's rich gold resource is discovered, and this triggers a sudden flood of fortune seekers and a swift alteration of the local community. A miner named Roaring Camp serves as the main character. After her companion, Cherokee, passes away, she takes in a pregnant woman named Cherokee Sal. The arrival of a kid tempers the harsh environment of the mining camp, and Sal gives birth to a boy. While the community experiences prosperity due to the gold from Devil's Ford, it also draws the attention of dishonest people who are looking to make a lot of money. The story looks at issues of morality, greed, and the effects of unexpected fortune on individuals and groups. The plot twists and turns as the characters encounter difficulties and make decisions that expose their actual selves.

Book Description
Sparks fly between a football pro and an ex-WNBA player. But he needs to prove that he’s more than a sports hero if he wants it all in this steamy standalone from the New York Times bestselling author of Down & Dirty and Hot & Heavy. Tanner: I may be a baller, but I’ve always tried to do the right thing. Maybe it’s because I’ve been in charge of my four younger sisters for half my life, or because I understand how important it is to be a role model—something I learned from my grandfather, a Southern Baptist preacher who marched with Martin Luther King, Jr. Either way, my pro football career makes it easier to give back, so when a local rec center needs help, I do my best to even the playing field. And not just because Elara Vance, the smoking hot ex-WNBA player who runs the place, has me looking to score off the field. Elara: Before I got sidelined by an injury, my time on the court taught me that pro athletes are all flash and no substance. Sure, Tanner Green talks a good game and wields a big checkbook, but I’m not buying the whole good guy routine. Still, it’s hard to miss all the good he’s doing for my rec center and even harder to ignore the way one look from him makes me tremble in all the best ways. I just wish I knew if he’s for real. Something tells me a little one-on-one might be the only way to find out. . . . Praise for Rough & Ready “Loved it! Finally, a sports romance where the heroine is every bit the unapologetic badass athlete as the hero. Romance needs more female leads like Elara.”—Tricia Lynne, author of Moonlight & Whiskey “Rough & Ready is a spirited story line. The premise is entertaining, engrossing, and stimulating; the characters are confident and animated; the romance is impassioned and seductive.”—The Reading Cafe Look for all of Tracy Wolff’s seductive reads: The Ethan Frost series: RUINED | ADDICTED | EXPOSED | FLAWED The Sebastian Caine series: PLAY ME WILD | PLAY ME HOT | PLAY ME HARD | PLAY ME REAL | PLAY ME RIGHT | PLAY ME: THE COMPLETE STORY The Hotwired series: ACCELERATE The Lightning series: DOWN & DIRTY | HOT & HEAVY | ROUGH & READY The His Royal Hotness series: ROYAL PAIN | ROYAL TREATMENT And her standalone novels: LOVEGAME | FULL EXPOSURE | TIE ME DOWN This ebook includes an excerpt from another Loveswept title.

This book focuses on the social history of the village, anchored by information from the 1850 census and Salem Reformed Church cemetery records. This was the famous Isaac F Stiehly's church and most of the families mentioned were in his congregation. The book contains hundreds of photos, most over 100 years old, of life in the Valley.
