"Giddy up! Kim Loraine nails this sexy cowboy romance and you'll want to take this book for a ride!" - #1 NYT bestselling author, Lauren Blakely What happens when a gorgeous, curvy network exec from LA shows up on the doorstep of my ranch? A big, fat pay-off to replace what my thieving ex took and enough sexual chemistry to light the Montana Sky on fire. Her plan? Send a cast of city slickers to the ranch to learn how to saddle up like a real cowboy. I’ve got one condition. She has to come learn the ropes before I’ll agree to let strangers come work my ranch. She thinks it’ll be a piece of cake. I’m sure she’s not going to last. But it’s going to be fun watching her try. There’s just one problem. I want her to save a horse and ride…me. Saddle Up is a steamy, heartfelt, stand-alone romantic comedy in the Ryker Ranch series. This series includes Saddle Up, Bucked Off, Ridden Hard, and Roped Tight. Each book can stand alone and follows all four of the Ryker brothers. Save a horse, ride a Ryker

Saddle Up recounts the experiences of John C. Hedley and his fellow brothers in arms in the reconnaissance platoon known as Fox Force (E Company, 1st Battalion 14th Infantry, 4th Infantry Division) as they fought through the jungles of the Central Highlands of the former Republic of South Vietnam from 1969-1970. While much has been written about this infamous war, this story not only paints a picture of what it was like to be a solider, but also gives a glimpse in to how something so ugly could forge an incredible bond between strangers that lives on to this day. His time spent in Vietnam went on to shape the rest of his life.

The story of Charlie Wysocki's life; growing up in a dysfunction African American family, being adopted by an upper middle-class family, becoming a star athlete on the national stage, and his fall into bi-polar disorder.

They call me the wild one. The Ryker brother who'd rather have more notches on his bedpost than rodeo championships. I'm good with horses, even better with women. I've been warned that sowing my oats might have consequences, but I'm always careful. And there's nothing wrong with having a little fun. But the truth is, I want more than fun. I want it all. With the right girl. So when the most beautiful woman I've ever seen shows up at my ranch, it should all fall into place. Except she's got a big surprise for me. She's pregnant, and the kid is mine, but she wants nothing to do with me.

This book focuses on the nonlinear dynamics based on the vector fields with univariate quadratic functions. This book is a unique monograph for two-dimensional quadratic nonlinear systems. It provides different points of view about nonlinear dynamics and bifurcations of the quadratic dynamical systems. Such a two-dimensional dynamical system is one of simplest dynamical systems in nonlinear dynamics, but the local and global structures of equilibriums and flows in such two-dimensional quadratic systems help us understand other nonlinear dynamical systems, which is also a crucial step toward solving the Hilbert’s sixteenth problem. Possible singular dynamics of the two-dimensional quadratic systems are discussed in detail. The dynamics of equilibriums and one-dimensional flows in two-dimensional systems are presented. Saddle-sink and saddle-source bifurcations are discussed, and saddle-center bifurcations are presented. The infinite-equilibrium states are switching bifurcations for nonlinear systems. From the first integral manifolds, the saddle-center networks are developed, and the networks of saddles, source, and sink are also presented. This book serves as a reference book on dynamical systems and control for researchers, students, and engineering in mathematics, mechanical, and electrical engineering.
