Book Description
I’m in love with the boss’s daughter. Emmy Winchester’s completely off-limits. Not only do her parents own the ranch where I work, she’s not the kind of girl I should be with. She’s too sweet, too untouched, too pure. Emmy deserves a gentleman, and I’m anything but gentle. But I can’t deny that her wide-eyed innocence makes me want her. Her sweetness makes me want to take her until she screams my name with those perfect, plump lips. I need Emmy to be mine. I need to dominate her, control her, have her in every single way that I can. I should resist, but I don’t know if I can. I’ve always had a thing for cowboys. Colton True has been my crush for longer than I want to admit — and now he’s back, working at my parents’ ranch. He’s rough, rugged, and beyond handsome, with a body carved by wrangling horses and sweating in the sun. But then, I know a man like that would never want a girl as inexperienced as me. But when he finds me in the barn, puts his hands on me, and whispers filthy things in my ear? Things that no one’s ever said to me before? Well, I’m not that sweet. Ride Me Dirty is a complete, standalone novella about a rough, dominant man who falls hard for a sweet, innocent girl - complete with tons of cheese and a super-sweet Happily Ever After ending.

I fear nothing. It’s kind of hard to when your job involves sitting on a bucking bull and trying to hold one with one hand. I’ve been doing well on the bull riding circuit, and I plan for this to be the year everyone knows the name Stetson Cross. The only thing messing with my head is Montana Harris. She’s the fierce barrel rider sister of my best friend. Hot body, fiery personality. We’ve been travelling together on the rodeo circuit. I used to think I hated her. Now I think I want her. Maybe it’s just my bull rider’s instinct drawing me to danger. Still, the sister of my best friend? That ain’t right, and to be honest, riding a bull is probably easier than trying to tame Montana.

Regret. I'm a man living with regret. It eats at me night and day. Eights years ago, I ran from Reagan instead of facing the music. I was sure he would shut me out if he knew the truth, so I beat him to the punch. I left and never looked back. Or at least I tried not to. To this day, Reagan is always in the back of my mind, trying to make me remember the fun we had. I always wonder what he would have thought if I'd told him everything. The regret echoes in my head. Now he's standing in front of me, looking for answers I doubt he's ready for. Can Reagan accept me for who I really am? Warning: Contains sexual situations between two men.

Pages : 337
Book Description
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • The triumphant true story of a woman who rode her horse across America in the 1950s, fulfilling her dying wish to see the Pacific Ocean, from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Perfect Horse and The Eighty-Dollar Champion “The gift Elizabeth Letts has is that she makes you feel you are the one taking this trip. This is a book we can enjoy always but especially need now.”—Elizabeth Berg, author of The Story of Arthur Truluv In 1954, sixty-three-year-old Maine farmer Annie Wilkins embarked on an impossible journey. She had no money and no family, she had just lost her farm, and her doctor had given her only two years to live. But Annie wanted to see the Pacific Ocean before she died. She ignored her doctor’s advice to move into the county charity home. Instead, she bought a cast-off brown gelding named Tarzan, donned men’s dungarees, and headed south in mid-November, hoping to beat the snow. Annie had little idea what to expect beyond her rural crossroads; she didn’t even have a map. But she did have her ex-racehorse, her faithful mutt, and her own unfailing belief that Americans would treat a stranger with kindness. Annie, Tarzan, and her dog, Depeche Toi, rode straight into a world transformed by the rapid construction of modern highways. Between 1954 and 1956, the three travelers pushed through blizzards, forded rivers, climbed mountains, and clung to the narrow shoulder as cars whipped by them at terrifying speeds. Annie rode more than four thousand miles, through America’s big cities and small towns. Along the way, she met ordinary people and celebrities—from Andrew Wyeth (who sketched Tarzan) to Art Linkletter and Groucho Marx. She received many offers—a permanent home at a riding stable in New Jersey, a job at a gas station in rural Kentucky, even a marriage proposal from a Wyoming rancher. In a decade when car ownership nearly tripled, when television’s influence was expanding fast, when homeowners began locking their doors, Annie and her four-footed companions inspired an outpouring of neighborliness in a rapidly changing world.

Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1439142645
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 249
Book Description
Now in paperback, after five hardcover printings, Tommy James’s wild and entertaining true story of his career—part rock & roll fairytale, part valentine to a bygone era, and part mob epic—that “reads like a music-industry version of Goodfellas” (The Denver Post). Everyone knows the hits: “Hanky Panky,” “Mony Mony,” “I Think We’re Alone Now,” “Crimson and Clover,” “Crystal Blue Persuasion.” All of these songs, which epitomize great pop music of the late 1960s, are now widely used in television and film and have been covered by a diverse group of artists from Billy Idol to Tiffany to R.E.M. Just as compelling as the music itself is the life Tommy James lived while making it. James tells the incredible story, revealing his complex and sometimes terrifying relationship with Roulette Records and Morris Levy, the legendary Godfather of the music business. Me, the Mob, and the Music is a fascinating portrait of this swaggering, wildly creative era of rock ’n’ roll, when the hits kept coming and payola and the strong-arm tactics of the Mob were the norm, and what it was like, for better or worse, to be in the middle of it.
