When I agreed to go to the big city to discuss the delivery of our Christmas trees for the holiday season, I expected traffic, the horizon blocked by the skyline, and unbearable noise. I did not expect to see Rose O'Brien, the woman who broke my heart seven years ago, let alone have to work with her now. Same pretty pink smile, same contagious laugh, same piercing green-flecked hazel eyes that I've loved. Still love. Rose is determined that the city life is all she wants. How can this small-town lumberjack compete with the big city? Spruced Up for Big City is a small-town, second-chance, opposites attract, standalone novella romance. It's the fourth book in the Timberheart Grove series.

A beautifully written and evocative memoir of pain and redemption, of hurt and healing, from an actress whose private life and personal choices have made her a household name. "My life is a life movies are made of," wrote Anne Heche in the proposal for her memoir. Yet what is truly surprising about Heche is that the most publicized event of her past -- her romance with Ellen DeGeneres -- is only one development in a fascinating and difficult life that has included more than its share of heartache and tragedy. Heche's memoir reveals the woman behind the headlines, one who has conquered overwhelming odds. Far from a celebrity memoir, this is an empowering and thought-provoking book guaranteed to surprise and inspire.

- A separate branch of the family of man, in existence since the dawn of time, has emerged from obscurity. Endowed with psychic powers, they link up telepathically to survive a global cataclysm they have presaged. They do not know what form the disaster will take or when it will happen, whether it will be natural or man made, only that it will blanket Earth in death and destruction on a massive scale. Perceived as a potential threat to "normal" humans, they are tracked down relentlessly by an intelligence agency of the United States Government. Using their psychic abilities to thwart the pursuit, they set out to build underground safe havens on all seven continents. Their saga unfolds in New York, London, Washington, Toronto, southern Africa and the Australian outback, coming to an explosive climax in Canada's Far North.
