Our heroine, whose name no one in school can remember, can’t decide what’s weirder—that the most popular guy in school, Koga-kun, wants to be her friend...or that he insists he’s an alien. But one thing’s for sure—he knows her name, and doesn’t seem ready to let her go through high school anonymous!

After running away from home, Koga-kun and Miyako finally reveal their true feelings, and become an actual couple… or so they thought. Along comes another alien, here to take Chiro-chan home. Which actually causes Koga-kun to lose his memories! That went south real fast! Miyako’s resolved to fight tooth and nail to ensure their happiness, but what will become of them?!

A loner in high school, Miyako is pulled into a (fake) relationship with school hottie, Koga-kun! It’s actually for the purpose of hiding the existence of the alien possessing his body, Chiro-chan. But unlike the kind-hearted Chiro-chan, Miyako finds herself constantly butting heads with the more sinister, Koga-kun. But she begins to notice that, underneath that foul attitude, Koga-kun is devoting himself to helping her!

Fleeing her abusive ex, a dead-end job and no prospects for anything better, Mia returns to the coastal town where she used to spend her summers as a kid.

And to make it even more complicated, Jake, the city boy, shows up, carrying the one secret Mia has been trying to hide from the others. But that’s not where their problems end. There was one more person who used to be with them, Poppy, she was Mia’s lover, Mal’s twin, Tom’s wife and mother of his child. Mia’s arrival couldn’t have come at a darker time with just over a week until the anniversary of Poppy’s death and everyone is on edge.

Examines a major Michigan timber baron and political figure who also founded a coal-mining empire in Kentucky. Near the turn of the twentieth century, "Pine King" Justus S. Stearns was Michigan's largest producer of manufactured lumber and the owner of a prosperous coal mining operation headquartered in Stearns, Kentucky, a town he founded. Over the course of his career, Stearns would own at least thirty manufacturing businesses—making everything from finished lumber to kitchen utensils, game boards, and motors—as well as hotels, a railroad, and a power company. He was also an active member of the Republican Party who served one term as Michigan's secretary of state and a philanthropist who gave a great deal of his wealth to causes in both Michigan and Kentucky. In Justus S. Stearns: Michigan Pine King and Kentucky Coal Baron, 1845–1933, author Michael W. Nagle details Stearns's astounding range of accomplishments and explores the influence of both paternalism and Social Darwinism in his business practices. Nagle begins by addressing key events in the first few decades of Stearns's life and his initial foray into the lumber industry. Subsequent chapters explore Stearns's political career, his timber operations in Wisconsin, and his coal, lumber, and railroad operations in Kentucky and Tennessee. Nagle also details the ancillary businesses that Stearns founded or purchased in the early twentieth century, even as his Stearns Salt & Lumber Company served as the anchor of his Michigan holdings, while Stearns Coal & Lumber did the same for his operations in Kentucky. The final chapter offers an overview and analysis of Stearns's lifetime of accomplishments, including his impact on the town of Ludington, Michigan, where he maintained a residence for over fifty years. Nagle makes extensive use of primary source material from several historical archives as well as contemporary newspaper accounts, court documents, company records, and other primary sources. American history scholars, as well as general readers interested in Michigan's lumbering era and Kentucky's mining history, will enjoy this biography of an exceptionally influential businessman.
