My Fierce Highlander: Highland Adventure, Book 1

When her clan learns of her betrayal, they seek vengeance. Dare she trust the enemy more than her own family? Laird Alasdair MacGrath is driven to end two-hundred years of feuding with the MacIrwins.

As the danger and conflict surrounding them escalate, Alasdair and Gwyneth discover an explosive passion neither of them expected.

Love, Inspiration, and Adventure: But What Do I Know

“Let me say this right from the start, a poet always writes from the heart.” So begins Willie O’Michael’s moving collection of poetry that captures the humdrum of life and makes it all quite magical. He believes inspiration comes from everything we see, whether that be a familiar face in the street or the experiences we’ve had-good or bad.

O’Michael never really fancied himself a poet until the loss of his wife, after which his mind yearned for outlet. He found that outlet in the written word. In his poems, he travels the world through his imagination to fictional places like the future Earth, scorched from the apocalypse, to real-life locales like the soothing prairie lands of today.

He uses simple language and vivid imagery to transport the reader to literal locations as well as places hidden deep within the soul. O’Michael hopes to invoke a smile or perhaps bring a tear, but most of all-he wants readers to realize life is a miraculous gift, not to be overlooked. Take a moment to slow down, and feel the pull of Love, Inspiration, and Adventure.

The Assassin (An Isaac Bell Adventure)

The new thriller in the #1 New York Times–bestselling Isaac Bell series from grand master of adventure Clive Cussler.
 
 As Van Dorn private detective Isaac Bell strives to land a government contract to investigate John D. Rockefeller’s Standard Oil monopoly, the case takes a deadly turn. A sniper begins murdering opponents of Standard Oil, and soon the assassin—shooting with extraordinary accuracy at seemingly impossible long range—kills Bell’s best witness, a brave and likable man. Then the shooter detonates a terrible explosion that sets the victim’s independent refinery ablaze.

Bell summons his best detectives to scour the site of the crime for evidence. Who is the assassin and for whom did he kill? But the murders—shootings, poisonings, staged accidents—have just begun as Bell tracks his phantom-like criminal adversary from the “oil fever” regions of Kansas and Texas to Washington, D.C., to the tycoons’ enclave of New York, to Russia’s war-torn Baku oil fields on the Caspian Sea, and back to America for a final, desperate confrontation. And this one will be the most explosive of all.

Havana Storm (Dirk Pitt Adventure)

Dirk Pitt returns, in the thrilling new novel from the grand master of adventure and #1 New York Times–bestselling author.
 
While investigating a toxic outbreak in the Caribbean Sea that may ultimately threaten the United States, Pitt unwittingly becomes involved in something even more dangerous—a post-Castro power struggle for the control of Cuba. Meanwhile, Pitt’s children, marine engineer Dirk and oceanographer Summer, are on an investigation of their own, chasing an Aztec stone that may reveal the whereabouts of a vast historical Aztec treasure. The problem is, that stone was believed to have been destroyed on the battleship Maine in Havana Harbor in 1898, which brings them both to Cuba as well—and squarely into harm’s way. The three of them have been in desperate situations before . . . but perhaps never quite as dire as the one facing them now.
