Book Description
One ex-black ops Marine. One stubborn single mom. And a stalker planning to teach her a lesson.After ending his stint with the Marine corps, Jim Donovan dialed back his alpha attitude and befriended military widow Sally Johnston. That was three years ago. Now the new partner in Jim’s veterinary clinic is hitting on Sally, and there’s an unknown stalker on her tail. Following his own code of honor, Jim must protect the woman he loves, but won’t allow himself to chase her. She’s going to have to come to him. Sally doesn’t want protection or to fall in love. She'll consider a fling with Jim’s new colleague, but Jim himself is off the menu. Keeping his friendship is more important. And the anonymous messages? Sally won’t play that game. She’ll do what has worked for her in the past—ignore them until they stop. She and her son have made it fine so far. That isn’t going to change now. But from the woods behind her home, cold eyes watch Sally’s every move, and an unhinged mind plans vengeance for imagined sins. I previously published a steamy version of this story using my former pen name, Susan Craig. I have rewritten it as a closed-door romantic suspense. I like it better this way, and hope you will too!

Love Me with Stubborn Love
Author: Anne Ortlund
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 0595001882
Category : Christian life
Languages : en
Pages : 194
Book Description
Here is a "how to disciple" book that shows, clearly and practically, how Christians can forge meaningful relations with other members of God's family. It is also a heartfelt "why to" book—a powerful call for a spirit of unity and love within the body of Christ. Drawing on years of experience in churches and small groups, Anne Ortlund offers valuble specifics on: - Forming small "spiritual family" groups that rejoice, suffer, pray, encourage, confess, forgive, and communicate with one another; - combining the "ingredients" of small group gatherings—worship, Bible study, sharing, prayer, and accountability; - Solving problems in the home by applying principles used in learning to function as a spiritual family; - Understanding the discipling process ("You must be continually learning from someone who knows more than you do, and then you must be continually passing on what you know to someone who knows less"); - Practicing the "new commandment" (John 13:34, 35) that translates into authentic, biblical, "tough" love for one another. Only a most blasé reader could get through this book without becoming genuinely excited. The author's enthusiasm for the church is expressed so cleverly, so persuasively, that it is bound to be contagious. Includes sample small-group curricula for discipling men and women.

Pages : 453
Book Description
“Many a reader longing for a sense of homecoming in the realm of romantic fantasy will find it in A Strange and Stubborn Endurance.”—Jacqueline Carey “Stolen me? As soon to say a caged bird can be stolen by the sky.” Velasin vin Aaro never planned to marry at all, let alone a girl from neighboring Tithena. When an ugly confrontation reveals his preference for men, Vel fears he’s ruined the diplomatic union before it can even begin. But while his family is ready to disown him, the Tithenai envoy has a different solution: for Vel to marry his former intended’s brother instead. Caethari Aeduria always knew he might end up in a political marriage, but his sudden betrothal to a man from Ralia, where such relationships are forbidden, comes as a shock. With an unknown faction willing to kill to end their new alliance, Vel and Cae have no choice but to trust each other. Survival is one thing, but love—as both will learn—is quite another. Byzantine politics, lush sexual energy, and a queer love story that is by turns sweet and sultry, Foz Meadows' A Strange and Stubborn Endurance is an exploration of gender, identity, and self-worth. It is a book that will live in your heart long after you turn the last page. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
