Fatal Stretch by James H Littlefield Pdf

An active vacation from a pleasant retirement? That's how Nick and Sarah pictured their friend Rita's yoga retreat on Maui—until a fellow-student suffers a cruel death while helpless in an extreme stretch, and Rita, accused of criminal negligence, suddenly becomes deeply withdrawn and…well, downright spooky! Back home on the casual coast of Northern California's Monterey Bay, the pace heats up quickly as Rita is attacked, Sarah feels compelled to help, and bizarre stories of a brutal act and deadly vengeance surface unexpectedly to complicate the equation. Trouble enough for an ex-teacher and a nurse, but throw in a wannabe hitman with a sexy girlfriend who's stoked on surfers and dreams of shooting documentary videos, a grief-crazed widower, a mysterious attorney, a greedy yogi, an opportunistic surfer, and a German Shepard, and you've got a nasty stew that's about to boil over into murderous action. Danger prowls Santa Cruz County and the quiet streets of Aptos, but before they can save Rita, they'll first have to answer the big one: How crazy is she?! And if yoga's so good for the body and surfing's so much fun, why are people dying? Why are Nick and Sarah so stressed-out? And why does this stuff keep happening to them?! Who says life's fair or retirement's easy?—No wimps allowed!

The Flight of the Heron by D. K. Broster Pdf

Set during the 1745 Jacobite uprising under Bonnie Prince Charlie, D. K. Broster’s The Flight of the Heron is the first of the Jacobite Trilogy. At the centre of the story are the intersecting fortunes of two men, who at first glance seem almost complete opposites: Ewen Cameron, a young Highland laird in the service of the Prince, is dashing, sincere, and idealistic, while Major Keith Windham, a professional soldier in the opposing English army, is cynical, world-weary, and profoundly lonely. When a second-sighted Highlander tells Ewen that the flight of a heron will lead to five meetings with an Englishman who is fated both to do him a great service and to cause him great grief, Ewen refuses to believe it. But as Bonnie Prince Charlie’s ill-fated campaign winds to its bitter end, the prophecy is proven true—and through many dangers and trials, Ewen and Keith find that they have one thing indisputably in common: both of them are willing to sacrifice everything for honour’s sake... Twice adapted for BBC Radio (1944 and 1959) and made into a TV serial by Scottish Television (1968) and the BBC (1976), this is the unmissable best-seller that first catapulted author D. K. Broster to fame!

Beach Brawl by James Henry Littlefield Pdf

Steal a high-end motor home from a popular beachfront park? Impossible, you say? Well, for hot-shot car thief Cruiser Dekko it's only a tempting challenge with bragging rights and a huge bet to win: a high-stakes game, for sure, and one Nick and Sarah Worther didn't retire to the casual shores of Monterey Bay to play. But when Cruiser's brazen plan inadvertently abducts Sarah and her friend Patricia in the stolen rig, Nick, with family and friends behind him, must track down the thieves and save the women. And you better believe private property and trespass laws mean nothing to a fixated hunter!

And as hope dims, risk increases, danger rises, and disaster awaits with death in the mix. What will Nick endure to save his soul mate? What will Sarah dare to free herself and to defend her own life and Nick's? And why isn't retirement at all like they imagined?
