Beach Rental by Grace Greene Pdf

On the Crystal Coast of North Carolina, in the small town of Emerald Isle... Juli Cooke, hard-working and getting nowhere fast, marries a dying man, Ben Bradshaw, for a financial settlement, not expecting he will set her on a journey of hope and love. The journey brings her to Luke Winters, a local art dealer, but Luke resents the woman who married his sick friend and warns her not to hurt Ben-and he's watching to make sure she doesn't. Until Ben dies and the stakes change. Framed by the timelessness of the Atlantic Ocean and the brilliant blue of the beach sky, Juli struggles against her past, the opposition of Ben's and Luke's families, and even the living reminder of her marriage-to build a future with hope and perhaps to find the love of her life-if she can survive the danger from her past.

A Norse Tale by Katherine Ballester Pdf

An Adventurous Tale of Love, Conflict, and Heroism in the Viking Age...The year is 907, in the turmoil of the Dark Ages. Ellea's peaceful life in the countryside of Northern France is abruptly shattered when Norse raiders sweep upon her village. Captured with her people, her life is saved by the young Jarl Eoher, who wishes to take her for his captive - but he leaves the choice to her. It is only when her courageous brother faces death that Ellea finally takes the first step on the path destined for her, a path interwoven with the foundation of Normandy. Can she sacrifice herself for those she loves? With her Faith alone to guide her, she embarks on her new life in Norway. Her healing skills, lively spirit and virtuous character win the Jarl's heart, but Ellea still struggles with her past and her present. Caught up in the ongoing war between Eoher and his vengeful uncle Morhelm, Ellea's courage and love are once more put to the test. Treachery, capture, human sacrifice, and Morhelm's dreadful injury - all combine to threaten the realization of her ultimate goal. Yet, aided by a young white stallion and her long-lost brother, she determines the Jarl's fate more decisively than does the final desperate battle, proving to him the depth of true love, the reward of trust, and the power of suffering...

Hy Brasil: The Metamorphosis of an Island by Barbara Freitag Pdf

Brasil Island, better known as Hy Brasil, is a phantom island. In the fourteenth century Mediterranean mapmakers marked it on nautical charts to the west of Ireland, and its continued presence on maps over the next six hundred years inspired enterprising seafarers to sail across the Atlantic in search of it. Writers, too, fell for its lure. While English writers envisioned the island as a place of commercial and colonial interest, artists and poets in Ireland fashioned it into a fairyland of Celtic lore. This pioneering study first traces the cartographic history of Brasil Island and examines its impact on English maritime exploration and literature. It investigates the Gaelicization process that the island underwent in nineteenth century and how it became associated with St Brendan. Finally, it pursues the Brasil Island trope in modern literature, the arts and popular culture.

The Outer Banks Gazetteer by Roger L. Payne Pdf

The rich history of North Carolina's Outer Banks is reflected in the names of its towns, geographic features, and waterways. A book over twenty years in the making, The Outer Banks Gazetteer is a comprehensive reference guide to the region's place names—over 3,000 entries in all. Along the way, Roger L. Payne has cataloged an incredible history of beaches, inlets, towns and communities, islands, rivers, and even sand dunes. There are also many entries for locations that no longer exist—inlets that have disappeared due to erosion or storms, abandoned towns, and Native American villages—which highlight important and nearly forgotten places in North Carolina's history. Going beyond simply recounting the facts behind the names, Payne offers information-packed and entertainingly written stories of North Carolina, its coastal geography, and its people. Perfect for anyone interested in the North Carolina coast, this invaluable reference guide uncovers the history of one of the most-visited areas in the Southeast.
