Wifed by the Mountain Man (Modern Mail-Order Brides)
“That’s the sexiest thing I’ve ever seen.” She laughs softly. “Reed, you’ve been alone far too long if a woman putting a baby to sleep is the thing that gets you hard.”
“Oh, honey.” I pull her close. “Plenty gets me hard.”
“Show me,” she whispers. “Show me how hard you can get.”
Reed
When a social worker dropped a baby girl off at my cabin, saying she was mine, my life changed. I moved to the mountains to live life on my own terms, and having a child doesn’t fit into that plan. I’m my own f–king man and don’t need anyone busting my balls. I don’t want a wife. I’m looking for a mother for my baby. The moment I meet Amelia, I know she isn’t just any woman. She has ideas of how a relationship should work, and our views sure as hell don’t align. But our chemistry is off the motherf–king charts, and that might be enough to change my mind about what makes a marriage.
Amelia
After breaking up with the douchebag of the year, all I want is a real man who knows how to take care of a woman. A mountain man seems perfect; I’ll tame him and he can protect me. But the moment I walk into Reed’s luxury cabin in the woods I realize this deal is more than I bargained for. I want to be housewife, but a stay-at-home mom? Um. I don’t know if I can hack it. And even if I can, do I want to? The answer would be easy if Reed didn’t turn me on – and get me off – so perfectly. I came to the woods to find my happily-ever-after, but I might have found an ending I never expected.
Warning: This book contains all the trappings for a steamy Frankie Love romance. Panty-melting sex, fierce men, and true love. Oh, and there’s an epilogue with all the girls and their mountain men! Eep!
Claimed by the Mountain Man (Modern Mail-Order Brides)
“Everly,” he growls. “I’m claiming you as mine, right here, right now.”
Silas
I want a wife who knows what it means to live off the grid, cook my food, and keep my bed warm.
In exchange, I’ll give her a lifetime of happiness in the form of my cock.
But damn, Everly’s more than I bargained for, and I don’t think she has any idea what it means to be mine.
Hell, I wanted a wife, but I’m not sure I know how to live with a woman.
Everly
Did I expect to be a mail-order bride at 22? No.
But honestly, my life could be a helluva lot worse.
The agency says this Alaskan mountain man is rich, hot as heck, and willing to pay off my student loans.
I’m crossing my fingers he’s everything I signed up for.
But I may be a little over my head. Mostly because I’m marrying a stranger, and also because I’ve never dated.
Period.
Clearly I have no clue how to be a wife, but it’s too late to back out now.
*WARNING: This story features a mountain man who knows exactly what he wants. And how he wants it. Don’t one-click if you want a tame mail order bride story; this is a classic Frankie Love romance, steamy as hell with a HEA.
Confessing the Scriptural Christ against Modern Idolatry: Inspiration, Inerrancy, and Truth in Scientific and Biblical Conflict
The doctrine of Scripture determines precisely how theology is done and what authority theological statements–including those in sermons, dogmatic texts, and confessional writings–possess. At stake is nothing less than truth itself and the possibility of communicating the truth of Christ to mankind.
This book compares the pre-modern approach to Scripture, following early Christian theologians, Martin Luther, and historic Lutheranism, with modernism, starting with Socinianism and continuing with Enlightenment philosophers and recent modern theologians, especially the neo-orthodox. These differences are most clearly visible in the doctrine of Scripture, especially its inspiration, and the method for establishing true facts. Modern theology starts with scientific truth as a given and will not go against it. Pre-modern Christianity started with Scripture and assumed its inerrancy, by virtue of its speaker: God, who is inerrant.
Modernism is not easily defined in traditional terms, but it represents an overturning of biblical Christianity. In academic theology confessing and sure facts are disallowed by scientific and scholarly doubt. Modernism, or Enlightenmentism, explains why bold Christian confessing has diminished. Modern exegesis and hermeneutics are the primary obstacles.
The destructive role of modernism and scientific values in historically confessing churches is explored, using the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod as an example.This book compares the pre-modern approach to Scripture, following Early Christian theologians, Martin Luther, and historic Lutheranism, with modernism, starting with Socinianism and continuing with Enlightenment philosophers and recent modern theologians, especially the neo-orthodox.

Eligible: A Modern Retelling of Pride and Prejudice
From the “wickedly entertaining” (USA Today) Curtis Sittenfeld, New York Times best-selling author of Prep and American Wife, comes a modern retelling of Pride and Prejudice. Equal parts homage to Jane Austen and bold literary experiment, Eligible is a brilliant, playful, and delicious saga for the 21st century.
This version of the Bennet family – and Mr. Darcy – is one that you have and haven’t met before: Liz is a magazine writer in her late 30s who, like her yoga instructor older sister, Jane, lives in New York City. When their father has a health scare, they return to their childhood home in Cincinnati to help – and discover that the sprawling Tudor they grew up in is crumbling, and the family is in disarray.
Youngest sisters Kitty and Lydia are too busy with their CrossFit workouts and paleo diets to get jobs. Mary, the middle sister, is earning her third online master’s degree and barely leaves her room except for those mysterious Tuesday-night outings she won’t discuss. And Mrs. Bennet has one thing on her mind: how to marry off her daughters, especially as Jane’s 40th birthday fast approaches.
Enter Chip Bingley, a handsome new-in-town doctor who recently appeared on the juggernaut reality TV dating show Eligible. At a Fourth of July barbecue, Chip takes an immediate interest in Jane, but Chip’s friend, neurosurgeon Fitzwilliam Darcy, reveals himself to Liz to be much less charming….
And yet, first impressions can be deceiving.
Wonderfully tender and hilariously funny, Eligible both honors and updates Austen’s beloved tale. Tackling gender, class, courtship, and family, Sittenfeld reaffirms herself as one of the most dazzling authors writing today.

Redefining Reality: The Intellectual Implications of Modern Science
No subject is bigger than reality itself, and nothing is more challenging to understand, since what counts as reality is undergoing continual revision and has been for centuries. For example, the matter that comprises all stars, planets, and living things turns out to be just a fraction of what actually exists. Moreover, we think that we control our actions, but data analytics can predict, with astonishing accuracy, when we will wake up, what we will buy, and even whom we will marry.
The quest to pin down what’s real and what’s illusory is both philosophical and scientific, a metaphysical search for ultimate reality that goes back to the ancient Greeks. For the last 400 years, this search has been increasingly guided by scientists, who create theories and test them in order to define and redefine reality. And we have developed the power to alter our own reality in major ways – to defeat diseases, compensate for disabilities, and augment our intellect with computers. Where is that trend going?
Experience the thrill of this exciting quest in 36 wide-ranging lectures that touch on many aspects of the ceaseless search for reality. From the birth of the universe to brain science, discover that separating the real from the illusory is an exhilarating intellectual adventure.
Scientists and philosophers are not alone in grappling, at an intellectual level, with reality. Some of the most accessible interpretations are by painters, novelists, filmmakers, and other artists whose works not only draw on the latest discoveries but also sometimes inspire them. Explore examples such as Alice in Wonderland, pointillism, cubism, surrealism, and reality TV.
And since dealing with reality is an experience we all share, this course is designed for people of all backgrounds.
