Get swept away in the action and thrills of this heart-pounding classic romantic suspense by New York Times bestselling author Sharon Sala. The nightmare was always the same: The sudden awareness that she wasn’t alone. The odor of sweat and alcohol. The rough, ugly words. And the knife. In real life Jesse LeBeau had fought off her attacker with his own knife, but the terrifying memory remained, along with the cuts on her hands and the threat of another attack—until one day she looked up from her hospital bed and saw the dark-haired, dark-eyed cowboy who’d always been like a brother to her. The minute King McCandless saw Jesse’s face, he decided to bring her back to Oklahoma. No way was he leaving her alone in St. Louis with a madman on the loose. Back home on the sprawling Double M Ranch, Jesse realized that she was still in danger, just from a different direction. As much as she hated the thought, she knew she couldn’t stay much longer. She couldn’t pretend that King was her big brother anymore, because the truth was that she wanted this man—heart, body and soul. Previously published.

I walked your grey, stone floors from nave to Poet’s Corner, Careful to sidestep graves of poets long revered. I felt a deep whispering in my heart; I shivered in my warmth, Was that Tennyson I heard softly calling? Early winter sunlight streamed through the Rose Window, gently Dust particles fell like teardrops in muted rainbow hues... From an early age Sharon King-Jeffers has read and been inspired by all forms of poetry. Now she once again provides a glimpse into her heart and mind as she lyrically reflects on life, love, loss, and everything in between. In her second collection of contemporary poetry presented in three parts, King-Jeffers explores many relatable themes and subjects that include reflections on her first twenty-five years of life, pictures or things seen or felt, and the beautiful state of Hawaii. As she leads others through her poetic perceptions, King-Jeffers provides a space for others to reflect on their unique personal experiences and journey through life. The Final Segue: And Other Poems is a thoughtful volume of contemporary free verse that reflects the author’s creative perspective.

A TRIBE DESPISED is about a tribe of people called THEM. The THEM people do not get along with other groups of people very well, unless they are in control of everyone and everything. However, there were people before THEM, and everyone finally enjoys peace when the THEM people accept that they are no longer in control of others. People around the world have a tendency to pre-judge ideas and people they may not know. A TRIBE DESPISED is about the one being described and judged, and also insights into the describer. Often, people judge because of a lack of history, knowledge or interaction with those who may be "different" and "unfamiliar" to them. However, the main theme of this story is that respectful contact and "TRUTH WILL SET ALL OF US FREE" when we reduce false impressions about each other. One path to Truth is by creating BEAUTIFUL THINGS & IDEAS. The original people, the PEOPLE OF ORIGIN know this, and after the THEM people have been "magically overwhelmed", everyone learns just how important it is to make, and do, beautiful things...especially for each other. A TRIBE DESPISED is a delightful story for all ages. For the young, it introduces some very basic character-building qualities that encourage children to think beyond their own self- interest. For the older reader, it can restore memories of just how beautiful the world can truly be when we tell the truth, and create a world full of BEAUTY-FULL things that encourage love for one another.

Travelling home from the crusades, Richard was shipwrecked off the coast of Austria, after an encounter with pirates. Richard should have been under the Church's protection, but in Outremer he had given the Duke of Austria good reason to loathe him and he was captured. He was immediately claimed by the Holy Roman Emperor, who also bore a grudge against the captive English king. Richard was to spend fifteen months imprisoned. For a man of his fiery nature, it was truly shameful. His mother, Eleanor of Aquitaine, began to move heaven and earth to raise a staggering ransom, travelling to Germany herself to buy the release of her favourite son. But it was not to be that easy. At the eleventh hour, Heinrich announced that he had had a better offer from the French king, Philippe, and Richard's own treacherous brother, John, offering Heinrich an even larger sum to continue Richard's captivity - or to turn him over to their tender mercies.
