"Ex-lovers. Ex-rivals. New cohosts. Oh, puck. Cut from the U.S. women's hockey team right before her third chance at gold, Natalie Carpenter is scrambling for a plan that'll help her avoid moving back home. The answer: a guest hosting gig on Wake Up, USA's winter games coverage. Her co-host: Darcy LaCroix, Nat's ex-girlfriend, one-time college teammate turned adversary leaving Team Canada, Darcy has worked hard to make a name in broadcasting. If her big break requires sharing screen time with the former cocky freshman who turned her world upside down, so be it. At this point, there's nothing between them except history. But audiences disagree. #PuckingHotties is trending hard, and Nat and Darcy agree to lean into it...for ratings, obviously. It's not like Nat can forget the way Darcy broke her heart or their bitter team rivalry. Between working, traveling together, and that irresistible spark, it's getting hard to separate what's real and what's for the camera. Because somewhere underneath everything that went wrong is the sneaking suspicion that nothing will ever feel quite this right again."--

With her own down-to-earth blend of humour, poignancy, and vulnerability, Leigh shares her highs and lows to inspire us to focus on our dreams - and have the bravery to achieve them. Leigh's journey will inspire others to use 'Believe and You can Achieve' as a mantra to get them through the challenges life throws at them, and a smile has been thoroughly entertained and uplifted. It will captivate the reader with many laugh-out-loud moments and leave them reaching for tissues with jaw-dropping twists and turns.

When we talk about culture, we are using a term to describe ourselves both individually and collectively. It helps us to define and understand our identity within the greater world outside of ourselves. As a general rule of thumb, culture can be defined as including language, customs, history, food, religion, clothing, the arts, recreation and even the environment to which we belong. Certainly, culture can be a lot more than this. It does show us, on a global scale, the great diversity of human experience. This book is intended to be a snapshot of the people who have made Bendigo home, both past and present. To give a detailed account of every culture ever present in Bendigo would run into a multi-volume work! The idea for a multicultural history of Bendigo and the title came from Dr Arthur Chiang. All information presented and opinions expressed are mine and may not necessarily be endorsed by the good doctor.

The latest book from the author of Black Spruce Stream, an Amazon Bestseller Maine to Montauk chronicles the author's life and pursuit of Striped Bass along the Atlantic coast over six decades, complete with all the entertaining stories, adventures, and characters he's met and befriended along the way.

Burns is known for his detailed and meticulous fishing logs, which imbues the book with the substance to talk authoritatively about the species decline and the hope for the future.

Rejecting her after she gathered the strength to approach him means she'll never let him get close again. After losing her husband, the first man to make Detective Rylla Franklin feel anything at all turns her down when she garners the courage to ask him out. Throwing herself into work, she has plenty to keep her busy as she and her partner hunt a serial killer who turns his victims into princesses. When her sister becomes the next victim she's yanked from the case and with nothing but time on her hands the sexy man she's been trying to ignore suddenly gets an opening into her life. Nate Oakland didn't want to say no when Rylla asked him out, but he knows he's not good enough for her. He's tried to explain but she won't give him the time of day. When Rylla's sister goes missing, he decides he's given her enough space, and is determined to not only be there to support her but also to convince her he made a mistake turning her down before and to give him a second chance. But when Rylla becomes the killer's next target it's no longer their losses and doubt that are the biggest threat to their fledgling relationship.
