Here’s the set-up:

It’s 2028. The world’s major cities have been flooded by a three-metre rise in sea-level following a catastrophic climate change event.

Kyle Gibbs escapes from a prison ship in a bid to track down members of the new global government responsible for him and his team’s false incarceration. To succeed, he is forced to join and serve them. On their first mission, he is tasked to capture one of the last operational nuclear sites in France which is refusing to join the Global Government Collective.
In climate-ravaged Kenya, a group of warriors set off on an epic journey to forge new lives for themselves in Europe, fighting off rival gangs and brutal slave debt owners along the way, to reach the land they believe will change their lives for the better.
The two groups of fighting men are set on a collision course, facilitated by the mysterious resistance leader, Vargen, hell-bent on bringing the global government to its knees.

Here’s the set-up:

A pretend courtship can only if work if you don’t fall in love . . .
Lady Elise is a very content spinster. She holds intellectual gatherings and attends poetry readings, mind-improving lectures, and art shows. She runs her father’s household with quiet and determine efficiency, which is why she is absolutely stunned when Papa informs his three daughters that until Lady Elise is happily settled with—gasp—a husband, he will not consider offers for his two younger daughters.
Lord Simon St. George has happily watched one friend after another become leg-shackled, taking pride in the fact that his title is secured by a brother and nephew, so there is no reason to seek a wife for himself. When he sees a woman previously unknown to him at a ball, who seems to be hiding from the rest of the attendees, he is intrigued enough to introduce himself.
A friendship forms, and Simon is thrilled to have found a lovely, intelligent woman to pass the time with, while Elise has secured a way to thwart her father by pretending they are courting. But even the best plans can go awry . . . .

Here’s the set-up:

He trains imperial concubines in the arts of the bedroom…

I visit the grand harem of the Ottoman Empire once a year. The eunuch guards would behead me if they could. To be fair, they don’t expect lovers to fly off the balcony and into the night.

Being dragon has its perks. Like playing in Nuriye’s bed.

But it’s been ten long years of waiting—it’s time to return home to Greece and claim my soul mate.

If only the fates will allow it.

Akkan wants one last night of pleasure before risking his heart with a return home, but a runaway servant girl who saves him from the guards also complicates his plans… and may be just the thing he needs most.

Here’s the set-up:

He’s the ruthless lawyer with a not-so-little black book, and one simple rule as unyielding as his heart: Nothing more than a month.

She’s the doctoral student helping to raise his niece. His brother’s best friend. And the valium for his soul he had no business wanting.

To be fair, she did ask him for advice–on what she could do to stop being ‘the nice girl’ for a little bit. All he did was answer truthfully: “Try something new that excites you.”

…Preferably him.

Here’s the set-up:

Parents this book is a great way to explore and play with feelings together with your children. There are animal pictures that children can enjoy and talk about. This is a beautiful way for your children to make friends with their feelings and learn how to “play” with them. It’s also a way to encourage us to keep remembering and returning to positive and nurturing feelings and memories. This creates healthy neural networks in our brains. Something as simple as remembering an animal or happy feeling can change our whole body chemistry.

We can anchor happy feelings and memories in our neural networks by remembering them and “replaying” them to strengthen our “Happy Muscles”.

We probably all remember when we were young how feelings came and went quickly and didn’t “stick” so much. A simple belly laugh could easily erase feelings then and bring us back to joy and wonder.

This is the feeling of wonder and gratitude for just being alive. Watch as a child loses him or herself with an insect, animal, small pebble. or even a faraway star. They are lost in the feeling of wonder and joy. We can all remember that as our natural happy place we lived in when we were young. We can reclaim this when we give space to and appreciate our children’s silent moments of wonder and joy.

Here’s the set-up:

She thought she could never go home again. Kennedy Reynolds has spent the past decade traveling the world as a free spirit. She never looks back at the past, the place, or the love she left behind—until her adopted mother’s unexpected death forces her home to Eden’s Ridge, Tennessee.

Deputy Xander Kincaid has never forgotten his first love. He’s spent ten long years waiting for the chance to make up for one bone-headed mistake that sent her running. Now that she’s finally home, he wants to give her so much more than just an apology.

Kennedy finds an unexpected ally in Xander, as she struggles to mend fences with her sisters and to care for the foster child her mother left behind. Falling back into his arms is beyond tempting, but accepting his support is dangerous. He can never know the truth about why she really left. Will Kennedy be able to bury the past and carve out her place in the Ridge, or will her secret destroy her second chance?
