After surviving a near-fatal accident, thirty-year-old Lizzy Mitchell faces a long road to recovery. She remembers little about the days she spent in and out of consciousness, save for one thing: She saw her beloved deceased uncle, Father Mike, the man who raised her in the rectory of his Maine church until she was nine, at which time she was abruptly sent away to boarding school. Was Father Mike an angel, a messenger from the beyond, or something more corporeal? Though her troubled marriage and her broken body need tending, Lizzy knows she must uncover the details of her accident–and delve deep into events of twenty years before, when whispers and accusations forced a good man to give up the only family he had. With deft insight into the snares of the human heart, Monica Wood has written an intimate and emotionally expansive novel full of understanding and hope.

What a scoundrel wants, a scoundrel gets. . .

A decade ago, the Marquess of Bourne was cast from society with nothing but his title. Now a partner in London's most exclusive gaming hell, the cold, ruthless Bourne will do whatever it takes to regain his inheritance—including marrying perfect, proper Lady Penelope Marbury.

A broken engagement and years of disappointing courtships have left Penelope with little interest in a quiet, comfortable marriage, and a longing for something more. How lucky that her new husband has access to an unexplored world of pleasures.

Bourne may be a prince of London's illicit underworld, but he vows to keep Penelope untouched by its wickedness—a challenge indeed as the lady discovers her own desires, and her willingness to wager anything for them . . . .even her heart.

Why did my friend disappear, and then a few years later mysteriously reappear on my doorstep? As an author, all I want to do is rent a house on the beach in Ocean City, New Jersey to write my next novel in peace and quiet. Unable to resist digging deeper, I am thrown into another web of intrigue, lies and cover-ups, involving two things from my past; one I thought I had closed the book on, and another whose book is mysteriously left open; two mysteries that I shockingly find are somehow connected. Without any warning, I am left to figure out why my storyline turns deadly with me caught in the crosshairs.

With more than 350,000 copies sold, Understanding Exposure has demystified the complex concepts of exposure for countless photographers. Now updated with current technologies, more than one hundred new images, and an all-new chapter, this new edition will inspire you more than ever to free yourself from “auto” and create the pictures you truly want.

In his trademark easy-to-understand style, author Bryan Peterson explains the relationship between aperture and shutter speed, including how to achieve successful exposures in seemingly difficult situations. You’ll learn:

• Which aperture gives you the greatest contrast and sharpness, and when to use it 
• Which apertures guarantee the background remains an out-of-focus tone 
• Which one aperture—when combined with the right lens—creates an area of sharpness from three feet to infinity 
• How to creatively use shutter speed to either freeze an action or imply motion 
• Where to take a meter reading when shooting a sunset, snow, or a city at dusk

With new information on white balance, flash, HDR, and more, this updated classic will inspire you to stop guessing and take control of your settings for better photos anytime, anywhere, and with any camera.

Challenge yourself to find you, in how you think, feel and are. Pulling at those deeper questions to find answers, is the key and the gift to experiencing the best possible you. How many ways, how many times, can you ask the same questions, and return yourself to the same mundane lifestyles and ways? Guide yourself towards the reason for your ways. "Every page is filled with witty, insightful and sometimes humorous accounts of the shortcomings of the human being. It deals with our everyday mundane thoughts, beliefs and relationships in an easy to read manner. This guide is for anyone that seeks answers on why we keep doing the same insane and ridiculous foibles over and over again. I could not put it down." -Danny Andru, Freelance Columnist "The author, Karen Sala, captivates you at the beginning of this book to the end. Making you realize that there is more to you then you then you even know. She challenges you to face the past and to conquer who you are as a human and mold you into a better person." -Jazzfeezy, Music Producer "I had no problem finding myself in this book and still had time for a snack-it was an easy, great, wonderful read...Before reading this I didn't understand me, now I understand me." -Maurie Sherman, Virgin Radio, Toronto

The last thing fifteen-year-old Flora Fontain wants to do is spend her summer vacation stuck in a tent with her overprotective parents and angst-ridden brother, especially when she should be in Europe with her best friend Jessie—sipping espresso, posing for cutesy tourist pics, and hunting for hot Italian (or French, or maybe even English) stud-muffins. But since her parents trust her about as much as they trust a cat burglar at the moment, Flora has no choice but to suffer through the boyfriend-less summer of her discontent from the back of a rented SUV, until… Fate tosses a sexy, sophisticated gypsy boy into her path, making Flora wonder if destiny might know best after all. That is until destiny screws up, big time. Because just as Flora falls head over heels, an unexpected turn of events threatens to land her in the slammer—or worse, separate her from the man of her dreams.
