Book Description
“I’ve been thinking a lot about Cadillac Desert in the past few weeks, as the rain fell and fell and kept falling over California, much of which, despite the pouring heavens, seems likely to remain in the grip of a severe drought. Reisner anticipated this moment. He worried that the West’s success with irrigation could be a mirage — that it took water for granted and didn’t appreciate the precariousness of our capacity to control it.” – Farhad Manjoo, The New York Times, January 20,2023 "The definitive work on the West's water crisis." --Newsweek The story of the American West is the story of a relentless quest for a precious resource: water. It is a tale of rivers diverted and dammed, of political corruption and intrigue, of billion-dollar battles over water rights, of ecological and economic disaster. In his landmark book, Cadillac Desert, Marc Reisner writes of the earliest settlers, lured by the promise of paradise, and of the ruthless tactics employed by Los Angeles politicians and business interests to ensure the city's growth. He documents the bitter rivalry between two government giants, the Bureau of Reclamation and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, in the competition to transform the West. Based on more than a decade of research, Cadillac Desert is a stunning expose and a dramatic, intriguing history of the creation of an Eden--an Eden that may only be a mirage. This edition includes a new postscript by Lawrie Mott, a former staff scientist at the Natural Resources Defense Council, that updates Western water issues over the last two decades, including the long-term impact of climate change and how the region can prepare for the future.

Former Delta Force Operator, Mike “Grimm” Reaper, wants nothing to do with war, fighting or danger, other than from falling beams or tripping over building supplies. He sure isn’t eager to go back into protection service. After his stint with the Army and as a member of an elite protection service in Afghanistan, he has no desire to become a bodyguard or anything else that might make him responsible for another person’s life besides his own. He wants nothing more than to pound nails and be left alone. Dezi Thomas is determinedly freethinking and as happy as Grimm is…well…grim. As the new chef at the Lucky Lady Lodge, she’s excited to try out her recipes on the team of men hired to help with the lodge renovations. When she receives a package from an attorney with her inheritance from her late uncle, she thinks it’s cute that he left her a treasure hunt. When the attorney who sent it is reported dead and someone breaks into Dezi’s room at the lodge, she finds herself in danger she never expected and in need of protection. After Grimm deflects the first attempt on Dezi’s life, he’s thrust into the unwelcome responsibility of keeping the sweet and tasty Dezi alive. Thrown together, they struggle against a growing attraction while they work through the clues to figure out who is behind the break-in and why Dezi has become a target.

Book Description
NOTE: Kalea’s Hero was previously published as Hot SEAL Hawaiian Nights. Since it really is the first book in the Brotherhood Protectors Hawaii series, it has been rebranded and a new epilogue has been included. I didn’t want those who hadn’t read Hot SEAL Hawaiian Nights to miss out on the book that laid the groundwork for Brotherhood Protectors Hawaii! Former Navy SEAL’s first assignment as a Brotherhood Protector is to secretly guard a Hawaiian cattle baron’s daughter from a kidnapping threat Jace Hawkins (Hawk) thought he was headed home to Montana after leaving the Navy SEALs, but his first assignment at the Montana-based Brotherhood Protectors is to fly to the Big Island of Hawaii to secretly protect a cattle baron’s daughter. His goal is to keep the lady alive while pretending to be a ranch hand. The ranching is second nature since he grew up on a ranch in Montana. Protecting the daughter is where the challenge lies. Kalea Parkman has had free rein of the 130,000-acre Parkman Ranch since she was big enough to fit her feet into stirrups. She refuses to curtail her freedom just because she’s had a couple of near-misses with a potential kidnapper. But when a mainlander cowboy hires on as a ranch hand, he manages to shadow her every move. And the man has skills…with the animals…and with her. Even though he’s as sexy as sin, he’s no less annoying. When attempts to take her increase, the new cowboy insists on protecting her at all costs. They must rely on each other to stay alive until the threat is neutralized, while hopelessly resisting a desire that rivals the heat of the Kilauea volcano.
