Book Description
Prevailing Love includes three contemporary romance novellas by Loree Lough: Sealed with a Kiss, The Wedding Wish, and Montana Sky. SEALED WITH A KISS: Jet-setting Ethan Burke had no desire to become a father-especially to his best friends' eleven-year-old daughter, Molly. The shock of losing her parents in a tragic auto accident causes Molly to withdraw into a world of silence, and a frustrated Ethan finally takes his goddaughter to see a Christian counselor named Hope Majors. Will Hope be able to reach the grieving girl-and her heartbroken new dad, as well-despite the haunting tragedies of her own past? THE WEDDING WISH: Stage IV cancer patient Leah Jordan has only a short time to see her last wish fulfilled-she wants her two best friends from childhood to marry and become the adoptive parents of her beloved two-year-old daughter, Fionna. The threesome was inseparable throughout high school, but they've since gone their separate ways: Jade is a dedicated nurse who was recently widowed, and Riley is a veterinarian who has sworn off women and marriage alike. If all goes according to Leah's seemingly unlikely plan, Jade and Riley will finally be united, and her precious daughter will have a home. MONTANA SKY: Both of them have lost a loved one while standing helplessly by. Both of them have decided to forgo romance in favor of immersing themselves in their careers. Chet, a successful cattle rancher, is in the business of protecting his livestock, while Sky, a veterinarian, is determined to protect two hybrid wolves whose mother was killed for bounty. But lives that don't leave room for love are often rearranged by God's benevolent hand. When Chet and Sky find themselves involved in a volatile wolf war in the wild Montana woods, more than just gunpowder is ignited.

Book Description
On August 14, 1945, Alfred Eisenstaedt took a picture of a sailor kissing a nurse in Times Square, minutes after they heard of Japan's surrender to the United States. Two weeks later LIFE magazine published that image. It became one of the most famous WWII photographs in history (and the most celebrated photograph ever published in the world's dominant photo-journal), a cherished reminder of what it felt like for the war to finally be over. Everyone who saw the picture wanted to know more about the nurse and sailor, but Eisenstaedt had no information and a search for the mysterious couple's identity took on a dimension of its own. In 1979 Eisenstaedt thought he had found the long lost nurse. And as far as almost everyone could determine, he had. For the next thirty years Edith Shain was known as the woman in the photo of V-J DAY, 1945, TIMES SQUARE. In 1980 LIFE attempted to determine the sailor's identity. Many aging warriors stepped forward with claims, and experts weighed in to support one candidate over another. Chaos ensued. For almost two decades Lawrence Verria and George Galdorisi were intrigued by the controversy surrounding the identity of the two principals in Eisenstaedt's most famous photograph and collected evidence that began to shed light on this mystery. Unraveling years of misinformation and controversy, their findings propelled one claimant s case far ahead of the others and, at the same time, dethroned the supposed kissed nurse when another candidate's claim proved more credible. With this book, the authors solve the 67-year-old mystery by providing irrefutable proof to identify the couple in Eisenstaedt's photo. It is the first time the whole truth behind the celebrated picture has been revealed. The authors also bring to light the couple's and the photographer's brushes with death that nearly prevented their famous spontaneous Times Square meeting in the first place. The sailor, part of Bull Halsey's famous task force, survived the deadly typhoon that took the lives of hundreds of other sailors. The nurse, an Austrian Jew who lost her mother and father in the Holocaust, barely managed to escape to the United States. Eisenstaedt, a World War I German soldier, was nearly killed at Flanders.
