The Cowboy and the Rancher's Daughter:5
Kari Mackenzie
¥24.44
A Western Historical Romance Book 5 in a Series of 5 With their problems behind them, Jake Talley and Clara Fuller can finally start planning for the future. Or so it seems. From behind the bars of his jail cell, their adversary still plots to destroy them and all they hold dear. A newcomer who appears to be above suspicion joins the team. Soon the love birds learn the hard way that when greed secretly taints innocence, no one wins. Edward Sinclair plays his last trump card to put an end to the rivalry once and for all. Will his plan work or will true love win once and for all? "What an awesome western romance book...from the beginning I was rooting for Jake and Clara against Edward Sinclair." In The Cowboy and the Rancher's Daughter Short Story Series, Clara Fuller inherits her father’s ranch and quickly learns being in charge is not going to be all that easy. Raised around cattle, she knows the business inside and out, but few men are willing to work for a lady rancher. Once a drifter, Jake Talley has finally found a place to call home. As the foreman of the Fuller Ranch, he doesn’t mind taking orders from a woman. He’s willing to do whatever it takes to help Clara Fuller succeed. Edward Sinclair is a successful ranch owner who wants more. He’s used to getting what he wants, and few have dared to try and stand in his way. One piece of property is all he needs to have complete control of the county. There’s only one problem; the land belongs to Clara Fuller. That’s all right; he’s never met a problem yet he couldn’t erase.

Grace James

Long ago, as I’ve heard tell, there dwelt at the temple of Morinji, in the Province of Kotsuke, a holy priest. Now there were three things about this reverend man. First, he was wrapped up in meditations and observances and forms and doctrines. He was a great one for the Sacred Sutras, and knew strange and mystical things. Then he had a fine exquisite taste of his own, and nothing pleased him so much as the ancient tea ceremony of the Cha-no-yu; and for the third thing about him, he knew both sides of a copper coin well enough and loved a bargain.

Anthony Trollope

Augustus Melmotte is a financier with a mysterious past (he is rumoured to have Jewish origins, and it is later revealed that he owned a failed bank in Munich). When he moves his business and his family to London, the city's upper crust begins buzzing with rumours about him — and a host of characters ultimately find their lives changed because of him.
Swati's Marriage and Other Tales of India
Swati's Marriage and Other Tales of India
Ankita Sharma
¥32.62
In India, the life of women has never been easy by any stretch of the imagination. Swati's Marriage and Other Tales of India brings their eternal struggles to a new audience by engaging the subject head-on through the eyes of young women in the 21st century. Western audiences may have assumed that such considerations as dowries, arranged marriage, and abuse of spouses, servants, and the elderly would be tempered in the age of social media. Instead, Ankita Sharma's characters confront these issues as they persevere in their quest for love, independence, and fulfillment in the face of centuries of social mores, traditions, and institutionalized repression. Sometimes, all they can do is put on a smile for their armor and retreat to fight another day, their only comfort being hope that their children will have it better than they did. Here is the human condition expressed on every page--the desperate longing for meaning, for acceptance, for love and understanding that we all seek, that we all despair we may not find, that brings us together into a shared experience at the very same moment that it separates us. "Fans of Masterpiece's Indian Summer and the stories of Ruskin Bond will welcome this female perspective on modern-day Indian life. These short stories are full of epiphanies and restrictions that remind one of James Joyce and Katherine Mansfield's work and show how little the human experience changes, despite cultural differences." -- Tyler R. Tichelaar, Ph.D. and award-winning author of Narrow Lives and The Best Place From the World Voices Series Modern History Press www.ModernHistoryPress.com

Virginia Woolf

From the oval-shaped flower-bed there rose perhaps a hundred stalks spreading into heart-shaped or tongue-shaped leaves half way up and unfurling at the tip red or blue or yellow petals marked with spots of colour raised upon the surface; and from the red, blue or yellow gloom of the throat emerged a straight bar, rough with gold dust and slightly clubbed at the end. The petals were voluminous enough to be stirred by the summer breeze, and when they moved, the red, blue and yellow lights passed one over the other, staining an inch of the brown earth beneath with a spot of the most intricate colour.
