Summary:

After her ex took all their money and bailed, Hazel Bristow is left broke and homeless. A kind friend whose home is on the market lets Hazel and her foster dogs stay there until it sells. It's the perfect setup, until her friend forgets to tell Hazel she's sold the house.

Linc Kennedy is shocked to find Hazel and her pups squatting in the house he just bought, but after some negotiating-she offers to cook amazing meals for him in return for a paycheck-he agrees to let her remain while he's renovating the place. Linc tells Hazel he's an investor who renovates homes for fun-he just leaves out the part about being wealthy.

Hazel's intrigued by Linc. He's funny, sweet, ridiculously hot, and loves dogs almost as much as she does. But her track record with men? Not great. She worries her trust meter isn't working.

Linc's never met anyone like the quirky beauty who puts everyone's needs before her own. He didn't tell her about his wealth because he's been burned by women who only wanted him for his money. But with Hazel, he's never felt more like himself. Now he has to figure out how to tell her the truth without losing her. Because Linc realizes what he feels for her isn't puppy love-it's true love.

What happens when your wandering heart is captured by your friend with benefits?

Scarlett: Archer Kincaid is supposed to be all the fun and none of the strings, but the longer I stay in Willow River, the more I feel roots pulling me to settle down.

I plan to complete a one-year photography contract with Captured Moments, then move on to travel the world. Chasing my dreams, taking photos, and living life on my terms-shot by shot.

But I've been on my own since losing my adopted parents, and home isn't about a place as much as it is a feeling. And Archer's starting to feel like home but loving him means trading one dream for another.

Archer: Scarlett Hatfield is the kind of girl who can't be tamed. Her adventurous spirit is contagious, but a blue-collar man like me doesn't chase dreams. I build them from the ground up. And my home is in Willow River.

I can see myself building a life with the gorgeous redhead who's turning my world upside down, but that means clipping her wings. And I could never do that, not when she's meant for more than my small-town life.

Summary:

Pundits have long predicted the end of conventional warfare but for the foreseeable future,

it is here to stay. Counterinsurgency, guerrilla warfare, terrorism, peace enforcement, policing.

All these forms, like conventional warfare, are as old as mankind. Modern militaries claim to be

professional bodies, responsible for the education, control, and discipline of their members. But at least one aspect of this claim is poorly executed: tactics are not taught to junior leaders, which is why this guide is essential for all junior leaders, officers, and NCOs alike.

There is a military adage that there is no teacher like the enemy. True; but the wise commander

prepares to meet that enemy and become their teacher instead. This is your essential study guide.

Summary:

Actress Eden Blake's biggest claim to fame is a mortifying pharmaceutical commercial for male enhancement pills. That is, until the female lead on the nationwide tour of Broadway's hit Pride & Prejudice musical abruptly quits, and Eden is called up to fill the role.

The cast of Liz and Darcy: The Musical has just settled into a three-week run in Washington, DC, and Broadway royalty Brennon Thorne is set to play Darcy. Despite Brennon's reputation as being 'a dream to work with,' Eden's first impression of him is more like a nightmare.

Brennon can't disguise his disdain for understudies like Eden. As Eden and Brennon take the stage playing Jane Austen's most memorable characters, their reality begins to mirror Elizabeth and Darcy's-explosive chemistry and all. Together, they power through press performances and curtain calls, even as rumors of Brennon's checkered romantic past resurface and prove to Eden that he can't be trusted.

But with each choreographed stage kiss, Eden and Brennon's passion for the stage-and each other-ignites. Maybe, just maybe, not all rumors are to be believed-and not all showmances are doomed to fail.

In the company of the 'inquisitors,' Xerak, Grunwold, and Vereez, the three newly appointed mentors rediscovered the Library of the Sapphire Wind, and, within it, revelations that transformed the young people's pasts into a vast tangle of lies and half-truths.

But there are still questions to be answered. Before they are done, Meg the retired librarian, Teg the archeologist-turned-mage, and the multi-talented, ever surprising Peg will deal with kidnappings, betrayal, arcane artifacts, romantic intrigues, and the inescapable reality that past lives cast long shadows.

Together, the three mentors and their young allies will uncover the startling truth about what lies on the other side of the Aurora Borealis Bridge-a truth that holds the secret of Over Where, and that will change all their lives forever.

Title: Sustaining the Carrier War: The Deployment of U.S. Naval Air Power to the Pacific

Author: Stan Fisher

Narrator: Tom Perkins

Format: Unabridged

Length: 09:02:20

Language: English

Release date: 03-19-24

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: History, Military

Summary:

The ability of the US Navy to fight and win a protracted war in the Pacific was not solely the result of technology, tactics, or leadership. Naval aviation maintenance played a major role in the US victory over Japan in WWII. The naval war against Japan did not achieve sustained success until enough aircraft technicians were available to support the high tempo of aviation operations that fast carrier task force doctrine demanded. When the US realized war was imminent and ordered a drastic increase in the size of its aviation fleet, the Navy was forced to develop new policies in maintenance, supply, and technical training. Not only did a shortage of technicians plague the Navy, but the scarcity of aviation supply and repair facilities in the Pacific soon caused panic in Washington. While the surface Navy's modernization of at-sea replenishment was beneficial, it didn't solve the problems of sustaining wartime aircraft readiness levels sufficient to winning a naval air war. Fisher outlines the drastic institutional changes that accompanied an increase in aviation maintenance personnel, the complete restructuring of the naval aviation technical educational system, and the development of a highly skilled labor force. This book is the first comprehensive study on the importance of aircraft maintenance and the aircraft technician in the age of the aircraft carrier.
