A September to December romance that celebrates crunchy leaves, pumpkin lattes, and a steamy second chance romance that develops throughout the season of autumn. When Lena rekindles a friendship with a former flame during her favorite season, it leads to a healing revelation for them both. It was supposed to be one coffee. That's what you do when you're a divorced mom and decide to message an old college fling. Except Reid is now the professor that college students say is irresistible, and he happens to live in the town I am moving to (I found out after the fact, I swear!). I tell myself it doesn't matter; I locked up and buried my feelings for Reid long ago. So, it only makes sense to catch up over pumpkin-spiced lattes, and by the time the barista kicks us out at closing, we realize we could both use a friend right now—each other. The spark between us should have been my warning. Our encounters remind me of a different time, and the attraction between us lingers in the air. It doesn't take long before the dear professor is skipping grading papers in favor of having me in his bed. But I have reasons to guard my heart, and for once I'm the one in control of our dynamic. And somewhere during the changing season, we ponder the idea that maybe, in life, we are meant to fall in love twice… Fall Twice is a complete standalone short novel with a second chance that celebrates the season of change, autumn. It will give you all the feels with a dose of steam. Ideal for lovers of pumpkins, single-parent romance, and sexy professors. Author's Note: Like all of my small-town romance books, this story is filled with 99.9% banter, steam, and swoon. There is, however, mention of past cancer and fertility struggles yet do not play a central role in the story.

Can you find real love when you've always got your head in the clouds? Maybell Parish has always been a dreamer and a hopeless romantic. But living in her own world has long been preferable to dealing with the disappointments of real life. So when Maybell inherits a charming house in the Smokies from her Great-Aunt Violet, she seizes the opportunity to make a fresh start. Yet when she arrives, it seems her troubles have only just begun. Not only is the house falling apart around her, but she isn't the only inheritor: she has to share everything with Wesley Koehler, the groundskeeper who's as grouchy as he is gorgeous--and it turns out he has a very different vision for the property's future. Convincing the taciturn Wesley to stop avoiding her and compromise is a task more formidable than the other dying wishes Great-Aunt Violet left behind. But when Maybell uncovers something unexpectedly sweet beneath Wesley's scowls, and as the two slowly begin to let their guard down, they might learn that sometimes the smallest steps outside one's comfort zone can lead to the greatest rewards.

Kyle Duford was a successful executive, mostly because he preferred working overseas to being at home in his broken marriage. But as his life took a dramatic turn, was fired, divorced, and contemplating suicide, he started to feel chased by God. That's when, as he started looking back on his life, he realized that nearly every person with whom he interacted, at nearly every stage in life, was really "Jesus with skin on," showing God's love for him. After a period of his brokenness in the days after his firing, he knew something had to change, so he hopped a flight to Maui to be alone with his thoughts and whatever the universe, or God—or whatever was out there—had in store for him. It's in those days that Jesus used nearly every person with whom he came in contact to show Kyle he was there, with him, chasing him. But God saved his biggest surprise for last: a random introduction to his life-long love with whom he hadn't had any contact in twenty-one years. Not on social. Not an email. Nothing. And that encounter would change everything. A story of life with-and-without God and how he helps us to be ourselves in a unique and authentic way so we can live life to the fullest.

This book takes its origin in a course of lectures on the history and progress of Astronomy arranged for Sir Oliver Lodge in the year 1887. The first part of this book is devoted to the biographies and discoveries of well known astronomers like Copernicus, Brahe, Kepler, Galileo and Newton. In the second part, the biographies take a back seat, while scientific discoveries are discussed more extensively, like the discovery of Asteroids and Neptune, a treatise on the tides and others.

Fosters fundamental skills needed to critically evaluate evidence from published research studies This is the first resource to provide APRN students and practicing clinicians with a step-by-step guide to critically analyze evidence from research studies. As part of a profession that relies on best evidence, nurses need to be able to effectively assess research articles. Equipped with these skills, nurses will lead an informed practice and improve patient care. With 14 qualitative and quantitative studies, chapters use previously published research articles to demonstrate the actual critique process. This text delves past outlining the elements of critique to teach by example, walking through every part of a research article, from the title to the conclusion, and highlighting specific queries which need to be answered to craft a strong critique. The research articles in this book offer a broad range of clinical areas and diverse methodologies to highlight the fundamental differences between qualitative and quantitative studies, their underlying paradigms and relative strengths and weaknesses. With a consistent, robust critiquing template, this content can easily be applied to countless additional research studies. Key Features: Comprises the only text to offer research critiques in nursing Provides actual examples of critiques of published research papers by experienced nurse researchers and educators Showcases a diverse range of research studies Structures critiques consistently to enable replication of the process Useful to hospitals, especially those with Magnet certification.
