A virgin widow running her own company. A man who returns home after years at sea. An oddly-matched couple-who may not be so incompatible after all . . .James Jones recalls little of his past, only remembering being taken as a young boy and growing up on the Seven Seas. Rising from cabin boy to captain of a ship, a chance encounter with a drunken stranger leads James back to his family, where he discovers he is the heir to the dying Duke of Seaton.Sophie Grant, daughter of a viscount, never made her come-out, thanks to her father's bad investments, which were paid off by Josiah Grant, owner of one of the leading shipping lines in Great Britain. As part of the arrangement, the shy Sophie is given to Josiah in marriage. Her new, much older husband helps Sophie to gain confidence in herself by teaching her all about how to run his shipping empire.James, a former captain for one of Grant's vessels, encounters the now-widowed Sophie and feels a connection with the efficient, intelligent woman. Rebelling against his new role as a leading member of the ton, he despises Polite Society and its expectation that he wed some titled gentleman's bird-witted daughter-because James is increasingly drawn to the gossiped-about, independent Sophie Grant.Will a newly-minted duke be able to win the heart of a woman who spurns the ton and has built a satisfying life for herself?Each book in The Strongs of Shadowcrest is a standalone story that can be enjoyed out of order.

Our current path leads to a dead end - but it's not too late to change course. The first step toward reducing your carbon footprint starts here.There's an old Cree proverb: "Only when the last tree has been cut down, the last fish been caught, and the last stream poisoned, will we realize we cannot eat money."This simple yet sobering truth holds a mirror to our society's unsustainable trajectory. A trajectory that threatens the beauty, diversity, and vitality of our shared home.The consequences of our actions are already unfolding before our eyes - the majestic ice caps slowly giving way to rising temperatures... Once vibrant corals now standing pale and lifeless... wildfires consuming our forests with a fury that matches our own recklessness... and species after species quietly vanishing from existence.And yet, if there's anything to be learned from the wisdom of the Earth, it's the resilience of life.Isn't it remarkable how life boldly steps up from the ashes, reborn and renewed, every time a forest fire scorches the land?...How the blush of spring always follows the harshness of winter...And how even the bone-dry desert and the icy depths of the ocean teem with life.You see, life, in its wonderful tenacity, always finds a way to press on.We, humans, are no different.History is a testament to our capacity to overcome great feats and achieve amazing things... when we put our collective minds to it.Now is the time to course correct. To pivot from exploitation to restoration, from destruction to regeneration, from short-term profit to long-term sustainability.Because our prosperity, our progress, and our very survival are contingent on a thriving, healthy planet.This book is an invitation to see yourself as a catalyst for change. It's a call to truly belong to this Earth, and care for her as she has cared for you.Inside, here's a fraction of what you'll discover: And much more.Never underestimate the power of even the tiniest change.Remember, every single drop of water, no matter how small, contributes to the vast and mighty ocean.The same goes for your actions - your contribution matters.When we all come together and make small, positive changes, the collective impact is tremendous.Be the change you want to see.
