Deidre and her cousin Maura vow to finish the dangerous job, each woman taking a different route west. What Deidre didn't count on was a bodyguard--but that's what she gets in Patrick Callahan. With his broad shoulders, steady gun, and a crooked grin that's stirring secret desires--and one very special Christmas wish--Deidre knows the real danger ahead lies in the uncharted territory of her own heart.  A HANDFUL OF HEAVEN  Maura Kenney hopes her cousin is having better luck making her way to Paradise. The tiny blue- eyed spitfire is too busy fending off drunken oafs and serious gunmen to have a lot of faith in her own success. But luck is on her side: his name is Mitch Callahan and he takes one look at lovely Maura and knows Christmas has come early. But convincing a prim-and-proper miss that a tough, tender-hearted rancher is the only man for her promises to be about as hard as keeping them both alive to share this very special Christmas together . . .

She had been forced to marry... but she would never be forced to love! SHE WAS A RELUCTANT BRIDE Eleanor Chivenham didn't put much past her vile brother, but even she had not anticipated his greedy scheme to dupe a rich earl into mistaking her for a lightskirt!  Her reputation in shreds, her future ruined, a defeated Eleanor was forced to agree to a hasty marriage of convenience.  But marriage to Nicholas Delaney, Earl of Stainbridge, with his casual elegance and knowing smile was more than she'd bargained for.  He was a renowned rake and scoundrel, and no doubt he thought the worst of her.  yet Eleanor wasn't sure how long she could hold out against his undeniable charm -- or the secret desires of her own heart. BUT HE WAS A PERSUASIVE GROOM For the sake of family honor, Nicholas Delaney agreed to marry a wronged young lady.  In truth, such chivalry ran counter to his carefully wrought image of carousing, dissolute rogue, the guise so vital to his secret political mission.  But if he had hoped to keep his new wife well in the background, he was sorely mistaken.  The chit's fighting wit and uncanny beauty were impossible to ignore.  In fact, she presented quite a challenge to his prowess with women; and Nicholas never could resist a challenge.

He could be her ruin   Hugh Redvers is supposed to be dead. So the appearance of the sun-bronzed giant with the piratical black eye patch is deeply disturbing to Lady Daphne Davenport. And her instant attraction to the notorious privateer is not only wildly inappropriate for a proper widow but potentially disastrous. Because he is also the man Daphne has secretly cheated of title, lands, and fortune.   She could be his salvation   Daphne Redvers’ distant, untouchable beauty and eminently touchable body are hard enough to resist. But the prim, almost severe, way she looks at him suggests this might be the one woman who can make him forget all the others.  His only challenge? Unearthing the enemy who threatens her life . . . and uncovering the secrets in her cool blue eyes.

“Have you no decency?”  Straight-laced missionary Sarah Fisher has never met a man like Captain Martin Bouchard. He is the most beautiful person -- male or female -- she’s ever seen. Overwhelmingly masculine, elegantly attired despite months at sea, he is in complete command of everyone and everything around him: everyone, that is, except Sarah. But that’s about to change because Sarah has bought Bouchard’s mercy with the only thing she has to sell: her body. “None at all . . .”   In spite of her outrageous offer, Martin has no doubt Sarah is a virgin, and a most delectable one at that. But instead of bedding her, he finds himself staring down the muzzle of his own pistol. Clearly, the longer she stays on his ship, the greater the chances that she’ll end up its damned captain! Most infuriating of all, she looks past his perfect exterior to the wounded man inside. Can Martin outrun his scandalous past in time to have a future with the first woman to find and capture his heart?

Anyone who has ever seen a Disney movie knows that the iconic images are beautifully conveyed via the magnificent posters. The tone of the movie and the full range of emotions we experience in seeing the film are often captured in a single poster. After having seen and experienced a wonderful Disney motion picture, the mere sight of the poster can bring back the feelings of having taken the journey by watiching the film. Disney Movie Posters is a tribute to those posters, which tell the story both before and after we see the movie. Disney Movie Posters have been an important part of the motion picture process since Disney began making motion pictures. Not only are they eye-catching pieces of artwork, they are also designed to entice the movie-going audience. From Steamboat Willie, to Frozen and countless movies in between, Disney Movie Posters have been an important part of the films themselves. Disney shorts, animated movies, live action movies and Pixar movies can be remembered and honored by the posters that so efficently capture the magic of the film.

Welcome back to Virgin River with the books that started it all…  Shelby McIntyre has big plans -- plans that include finding Mr. Right. Her dream man will have a clean-shaven jaw, creases in his pants and hopefully an advanced degree. What she gets is rugged Luke Riordan.  At twenty-five, after five years as her mother's caregiver, it's time for Shelby to experience freedom and adventure. Time for travel, college and romance. But when she visits Virgin River, she runs into Luke Riordan, decidedly not whom she has in mind.  A handsome Blackhawk pilot, Luke exited the army after twenty years, four wars and having been shot out of the sky three times. At thirty-eight he's tough and jaded. His major was in one-night stands, with a minor in commitment avoidance.  Technically, these two are all wrong for one another. But sometimes what you want and what you need are two different things…two very good things.
