Sienna Naples's family has taken care of their wild Idaho land for generations and Sienna can't imagine any other life. But at Christmastime, with her parents gone and her painful marriage finally over, it's full of memories...and incredibly lonely. Until a tall, handsome stranger and a little girl walk into her life and suddenly the holidays are alive again. When single father Guy Maple shows up as the result of an ad meant to be a joke, the handsome Montana construction worker isn't joking. Money is tight this Christmas, and Guy's four-year-old daughter Emma has stage-five chronic kidney disease. She needs a kidney transplant, but if Guy can't prove that he can afford Emma's anti-rejection medications, his daughter isn't going to stay on the transplant list. Guy's willing to do anything, including marrying a stranger, to keep her safe. It's an impulsive marriage of convenience, and Sienna knows this isn't real, no matter how much she adores Emma, how well Guy fits in to the ranching life—or how much light and laughter is coming into their lives as a result. But the more time she spends with her new family, the more she fears losing the fragile, feisty little girl and the kind, devoted, hard-working, incredibly attractive man who is her husband—but is it only in name? |

| thejerkface: Underneath It All Kathryn R. Biel, 2020-11-17 Her life was perfect—or at least, that’s what Marg Kensington told herself. After a chaotic childhood, she had worked tirelessly to build a world of order and control: a detail-obsessed husband, two well-behaved children, and a picture-perfect home always ready for its social media spotlight. Even a genetic mutation that led to a breast cancer diagnosis in her thirties couldn’t derail her plans. Marg had faced it head-on with preventative surgeries, determined to keep her life on track. But perfection isn’t built to last. First, her breast implants are recalled, dragging her back into a whirlwind of health concerns she thought she’d left behind. Then, she discovers her husband has been pouring his attention into someone else—his girlfriend. Suddenly, her perfect marriage is over, her kids are pushing back against her every move, and her carefully curated life is falling apart. The only place that still feels safe is her BRCA support group, a circle of women who understand her struggles. But even that space is disrupted when a man joins the group, stirring up emotions Marg isn’t ready to face. With her façade of perfection crumbling, Marg is forced to confront what’s real: her fears, her failures, and the possibility that she’s been chasing the wrong kind of happiness all along. |

Get set to live, laugh, and love with this award-winning series, chronicling the journey of women gaining control over their genetics. Contains the complete award-winning novels: Ready for Whatever, Seize the Day, and Underneath It All. Ready for Whatever: An uplifting romantic comedy about facing your worst fears ... and finding out that everything might be okay. Look on the bright side, Millie. At least you don't have cancer. Testing positive for the BRCA gene only means one thing: Millie Dwyer is almost certain to develop cancer at a young age. After losing her grandmother and mother to the dreaded disease, Millie's always feared a similar fate. But now the twenty-nine-year-old has technological advancements on her side, including radical surgeries, that can save her from ever having to deal with the Big C… but at quite a cost. Now Millie has to come to terms with a new normal—new breasts, missing ovaries, hot flashes, insensitive friends, and, worst of all, the knowledge that she'll never have biological children. One thing's for certain—she's never planned on trying to navigate the dating scene with all this on her plate … but on the road from loss to love, Millie finds that laughter certainly is the best medicine. Seize the Day: Current Mood: Freaking Out. Erin McAvoy is living her best life. A lover of tacos, witty T-shirts, and Pinterest, Erin is always ready to tell you about her favorite thing—the animals she tends to at one of the nation's best zoos. But then there's that other thing she doesn't like to talk about: how a supposedly-for-fun DNA test revealed that Erin has a strong genetic predisposition to breast and ovarian cancer. She'd like to conveniently ignore that elephant in the room, except for the fact that unless she does something soon, Erin will miss out on her only chance to have a baby. Up to this point, the only guy she's needed in her life was a sloth—the animal kind, not the lazy kind—named Barry. Turns out, if you want to have a baby, a sloth is not the right man for the job. Growing up in a conservative family, Erin's never even considered any other options, until now. She doesn't have a lot of time to wait, and online dating isn't for the faint heart. When co-worker Xander Barnes—foe—or friend?—or maybe even more?—comes up with a plausible solution to give her the baby she wants, Erin realizes this may be her last chance to grab the tiger by the tail. Her family may not agree with her choices, but Erin knows that if one leopard can change his spots, then she can too. And maybe, just maybe, this will be everything she's ever wanted. Underneath It All: Marg Kensington has the perfect life. No really, she does. A husband who's as detail-oriented as she is, two great kids, the house, you name it. The only thing not perfect for Marg (pronounced with a hard g, get it right), is the fact that she carries the BRCA-1 gene mutation. Marg won't let something like cancer stop her. Instead, she's being proactive and saving her life before she gets sick. A small bump in her perfect road. But that bump turns into a massive sinkhole when her breast implants are recalled, and she finds her husband has been cheating on her. Now faced with health crisis after health crisis, a failed marriage, and rebelling children, Marg can no longer keep up the facade of a perfect life. It's time, with help from a most unlikely source, to realize that facades may crumble, but it's underneath it all that really matters. |

| thejerkface: Crash Grahame Claire, Teague Hollingsworth crashed into my perfectly predictable life like a rocket, turning everything upside down and setting it ablaze. It was the world’s worst first impression and one I’m not likely to forget . . . Until he shows up just when I need him. It turns out he’s not at all the man I thought he was. He’s kind to my dogs. He’s protective of me. And he doesn't seem to mind the chaos. Slowly, he's winning my trust . . . and maybe my heart. But there's more to this man than I could’ve imagined. Shadows and secrets that threaten what I love the most. I've lost everything once. I won't do it again. Not even for him. USA Today bestselling author Grahame Claire introduces a firefighter who doesn’t play by the rules in a story of secrets and suspense. |
| thejerkface: The Unreal Cassie Black Bundle Tammie Painter, 2024-06-19 “I just blew up something with magic!” “That was NOT the point.” This collection includes the first three books from the Cassie Black Trilogy. Yes, the “first” three, because trilogies, like trolls and sourdough starters, refuse to be tamed! So what’s inside besides over 1000 pages of laugh-snort comic fantasy, unforgettable characters, and magic-filled mystery? * The Undead Mr Tenpenny - Cassie Black works at a funeral home. She's used to all manner of dead bodies. What she's not used to is them waking up. Which they seem to be doing on a disturbingly regular basis lately. * The Uncanny Raven Winston - Ever have one of those weeks? You've taken an overdose of magic, you've just melted a twelve-year old girl, and Magic HQ has sent a letter requesting you come by to discuss your magic control issues. No? Just me then? * The Untangled Cassie Black - Cassie Black has just lost two people through a magic portal. Her archenemy, the Mauvais, is threatening to destroy city after city if Magic HQ doesn't hand her over to him… And HQ isn't exactly saying no to that offer. If you like contemporary fantasy filled with wry humor, paranormal mystery, piles of pastries, and TV-binging trolls, you'll find it hard to pry yourself away from the Cassie Black Trilogy. The Cassie Black Trilogy continues with The Unusual Mayor Marheart... heading your way this July! |

| thejerkface: Distant Thunder Wahei Tatematsu, 2011-09-13 **Winner of the Noma Prize for New Writers** Set in rural Japan as the height of the bubble economy, Distant Thunder tells of a farming village gradually effaced by urbanization, corruption, and greed. After Matsuzo Wada has sold off the family's land and left his wife for another woman, his son Mitsuo is determined to support himself and his mother in the traditional manner, farming. All that remains of his ancestors' lands is a hothouse, in which he grows tomatoes to sell to the housewives the nearby apartment complex, built on a former rice field. When his childhood friend, Koji, becomes entangled in an adulterous love affair which ultimately destroys him and those around him, Mitsuo begins to see how the town's hedonistic excesses are laying to waste not only the landscape, but also the communal and familial bonds and the values that once sustained them all. Translated from Japanese by Lawrence J. Howell and Hikaru Morimoto. |
| thejerkface: Romancing the Nerd Leah Rae Miller, 2016-04-05 Dan Garrett has become exactly what he hates—popular. Until recently, he was just another live-action role-playing nerd on the lowest rung of the social ladder. Cue a massive growth spurt and an uncanny skill at taking three-point shots in basketball and voilà...Mr. Popular. It's definitely weird. And the biggest drawback? Going from high school zero to basketball hero cost Dan the secret girl of his dorky dreams. A band geek with an eclectic fashion sense, Zelda Potts's “coolness” stat is about minus forty-two. Dan turning his back on her and the rest of nerd-dom was brutal enough, but when he humiliates her at school, Zelda decides it's time for a little revenge—dork style. Never mind that she used to have a crush on him. Never mind that her plan could backfire big time. It's time to roll the dice...and hope like freakin' hell she doesn't lose her heart in the process. |

| thejerkface: Don't Go Back Audrey Kaye, 2019-03-27 Despite the fact she's a woman in a man's world, Morgan Lane works hard at Goldsen Park. Wielding a chainsaw and felling trees, she tries to keep up with her bosses' constantly contradicting orders. Staying busy in the woods keeps her from thinking about Wade Newland, the one man she'd loved who left her without an explanation. Yet the photojournalist can't stay away. Wade crashes back into her life—literally—when he carries her tumbling over a ravine to save her from a stranger bearing a weapon in her park. Connected again, albeit out of danger, they attempt to figure out why someone would be toting a gun in the dark. As they sleuth their way through the tangles of bureaucracy and the many layers of deception within the Goldsen crew, they discover there is more to this incident than what meets the eye. The deeper they dig, they realize no one can be trusted, not even the law. Not only do they have to tiptoe around their still-burning feelings for each other, they need to come to a simple truce. Can they watch each other's backs and find the answers in the darkest part of the forest? |
| thejerkface: Unexpectantly In Love Jessa York, 2022-12-05 What happens when your biological clock is ticking--but you're the only one around to hear it? You head to an exclusive baby-making app, of course. What happens when you accidentally fall in love with your baby-making app match, but he's currently--unavailable? A lot. This steamy, hilarious, romantic comedy is about two people searching for a forever family--while they trip over misunderstandings, way too many foster pets, headless statues, and nosy neighbors. Sloane Pitter Patter 4U dot com Yep, you read that right. It’s the premier site for finding a match in no-strings-attached baby-making, and it’s my best chance at becoming a mother. Filling out the form is proving to be more difficult than I expected. Height, hair color—those are easy to answer. But when it asks: “When choosing a method of conception with the potential father of my baby, I would be open to:” ☑️Artificial insemination ☑️In-vitro ❌Natural Natural? With someone I don’t even know? No thanks. Dominic The last thing in the world I thought I’d be doing on my 40th birthday is filling out a match form on pitter patter 4U dot com. Time is ticking away and let’s face it—I’m not getting any younger. I’ve had more women than I can count, but every last one of them would take me—and my family—for everything we’ve got. Well, half of everything we’ve got. This solution will potentially kill two birds with one stone, so to speak. Methods of conception? Naturally? I checked that off along with the others. It’s a means to an end, after all. Besides, it’s nothing a few stiff drinks—and a stiff...wouldn’t cure. |
| thejerkface: Compelled to Wed Ogonna Juliet Nnamani, 2023-11-23 It’s hate at first sight! Anyone with a good head on the shoulders can deduce my mother's game. It's simple: the tea parties are meant to hunt for a suitable spouse for me. The move is horrid, I know, and I'm appalled by it, but my mother will not listen to anyone once she sets her mind on something. When her net catches a big fish – the senator's son, Chukwujiekwu Williams – my life becomes a nightmare. Chukwujiekwu Williams thinks he's God's gift to women, an arrogant, egotistic cad. Regretfully, I shouldn't have succumbed to slapping him due to his sarcastic comments or allowed myself to be found in a compromising position with him. Now I'm compelled to wed him, but I'll show him that even angels can use whips. I'm averse to his arrogance, and it doesn't matter how wonderfully his family treats me; I'll make him regret the day he consented to this wedding. So much so that next time, he will not be found within ten meters of any woman. The battle has begun, and I'm winning until I forget to guard my heart! Could I be falling in love? |
| thejerkface: The Rancher Hits the Road Melissa Senate, 2024-04-23 Nothing like a little road trip with a jilted bride. Ranch foreman Shane Dawson certainly hadn’t expected he’d be escorting the bride away from her wedding, but Ashley McCray was determined to track down her good-for-nothing runaway groom. Since widower Shane’s twin daughters were scheduled to visit family anyway, Shane offered Ashley a ride to seek her revenge. All he asked was that Ashley help turn his tomboy twins into temporary angels who could change the minds of his late wife’s parents about seeking custody. Seven hours on the road should have been enjoyable and uneventful. Except this romance-weary couple had more in common than they’d ever imagined… From Harlequin Special Edition: Believe in love. Overcome obstacles. Find happiness.

| thejerkface: Forgotten Heir Michelle Hercules, Have you ever heard of the curse of the middle child? It’s real, and it makes you invisible. Growing up in a house with three headstrong witches, I was usually stuck playing the mediator. When I met Rikkon, I immediately felt a kinship to him. He wasn’t invisible like me, but in a sense, he was forgotten. We bonded over things we couldn’t control. He was struggling with his demons, and I was lost. It was easy to fall in love, but that was when things got complicated. When I thought we could be more than friends, Rikkon’s past came to rip my hopes to shreds. He recovered his memories, and with it, the knowledge that he was never free to be mine. Someone else had staked a claim, a bond so strong, that no mortal human could break. Foolishly, I made a vow to help Rikkon reunite with his true mate, not realizing that by doing so, I might have unleashed the wrath of Ellnesari in our world. |
