Book Description
Val Darrant was just four years old the snowy night his mother abandoned him. But instead of meeting a lonely death, he met Will Reilly—a gentleman, a gambler, and a worldly, self-taught scholar. For ten years they each were all the family the other had, traveling from dusty American boomtowns to the glittering cities of Belle Époque Europe—until the day Reilly’s luck ran out in a roar of gunfire. But it wasn’t a gambling brawl or a pack of thieves that sealed Will’s fate. It was a far more complex story that Val would soon uncover—one that would bring him face-to-face with the one person he least wants to see: his mother. With the help of a beautiful, street-smart rancher and the woman who was Will Reilly’s lost love, Val must close this last cruel chapter of his past before he can turn the page on an uncertain future.
Good Luck, Ronald Morgan!

Playing While White
Author: David J. Leonard
Publisher: University of Washington Press
ISBN: 0295741899
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 321
Book Description
Playing While White argues that whiteness matters in sports culture, both on and off the field. Offering critical analysis of athletic stars such as Johnny Manziel, Marshall Henderson, Jordan Spieth, Lance Armstrong, Josh Hamilton, as well as the predominantly white cultures of NASCAR and extreme sports, David Leonard identifies how whiteness is central to the commodification of athletes and the sports they play. Leonard demonstrates that sporting cultures are a key site in the trafficking of racial ideas, narratives, and ideologies. He identifies how white athletes are frequently characterized as intelligent leaders who are presumed innocent of the kinds of transgressions black athletes are often pathologized for. With an analysis of the racial dynamics of sports traditions as varied as football, cycling, hockey, baseball, tennis, snowboarding, and soccer, as well as the reception and media portrayals of specific white athletes, Leonard examines how and why whiteness matters within sports and what that tells us about race in the twenty-first century United States.

Pages : 130
Book Description
Love and danger collide as the cross-country romance series heads to Nevada—from the bestselling author with more than 300 million books in print. The crash of a Cessna 310 charter flight on a Nevada mountainside has left two survivors: Leah Talbot, a young secretary from Las Vegas, and the pilot, lone wolf Reilly Smith. Part Native American, all man, Reilly is impassive, mysterious, and inscrutable. Under the noonday sun, they make their way across a hostile stretch of Nevada desert. Under the cold night rain, they have only their bodies, locked in embrace, to keep them warm. As two desperate strangers come together, so does a desire that burns as hot as the sand. But Reilly’s instincts are as strong as his survival skills. They may share a love that’s helping to keep them alive, but he knows that once they reach civilization the bond between them will be severed with a last kiss goodbye. Unless Reilly can make Leah realize that she’s saved him as much as he’s saved her.
