The Duke's Detour by Kathy L Wheeler Pdf

How long can a man of structure ignore a hoyden who unleashes fires long suppressed he didn’t know he possessed? Lady Rebecca Thatcher cares nothing for fashion or societal dictates. Her destiny in life is to fight for those less fortunate, be it woman, child, or animal. And when a young boy appears from the trees, clutching her skirts, addressing her as Mama with a vile villain on his heels, it incites every instinct in her to protect. With all his siblings now married, the Duke of Ryleigh can finally begin the task of locating a suitable bride of his own. But his well-ordered plans are thrown into chaos. On his way south to settle a matter with his youngest sister, he encounters a carriage with a broken wheel carrying none other than his sister’s long-ago schoolmate. She is just as he remembers—unwieldy and uncaring of what anyone thinks—and now? Unmarried with bastard children. Certainly not duchess material. Praise for The Duke's Detour “Absolutely delightful! Prepare to be swept away to Regency England and fall in love." ~Author Winning Author, Valerie Bowman “The Duke’s Detour is a wonderfully engaging romance. The plot is great but the characters—flawed yet sympathetic—are what really draws you in and makes the story unputdownable. With humor and passion and a couple of adorable little boys, this Regency Romance is a keeper.” ~ Award Winning Author, Alicia Dean “The Duke's Detour is a page-turning romp that ends in a perfect happily-ever-after!” ~ Kara O’Neal Read the entire series: Enchanting the Earl - Free prequel to The Earl's Error The Earl's Error - Lorelei and Thorne The Marquis's Misstep - Ginny and Brock The 7th Son (Contemporary paranormal) - Peyton and Alistar The Viscount's Vendetta - Maeve and Brandon The Duke's Detour - Rebecca and Sebastian Captivated By His Countess - Gabriella and James Regency Christmas Kisses - Lady Felicity's Feud with Christmas

The Duke's Detour by Kathy L Wheeler Pdf

How long can a man of structure ignore a hoyden who unleashes fires long suppressed he didn't know he possessed? Lady Rebecca Thatcher cares nothing for fashion or societal dictates. Her destiny in life is to fight for those less fortunate, be it woman, child, or animal. And when a young boy appears from the trees, clutching her skirts, addressing her as Mama with a vile villain on his heels, it incites every instinct in her to protect. Her priority is to get him where he belongs. Having married off his youngest sister, the Duke of Ryleigh can finally begin the task of locating a suitable bride of his own. But his well-ordered plans are thrown into chaos by a note from his sister informing him she no longer wishes to be a countess (as if she had a choice) and has vacated to the family's seat in Dorchester. On Ryleigh's way south, he encounters a carriage with a broken wheel carrying Lady Rebecca, his sister's long-ago schoolmate-the one responsible for turning his genteel and compliant sister into a hoyden he hadn't recognized when he took her out of school seven years before. Ryleigh's sense of honor will not allow him to look the other way as he and Rebecca are bound for the same destination. She is just as he remembers-unwieldy and uncaring of what anyone thinks-and now? Unmarried with bastard children. Certainly not duchess material. "Absolutely delightful!

Detours by Hokulani K. Aikau,Vernadette Vicuña Gonzalez Pdf

Many people first encounter Hawai‘i through the imagination—a postcard picture of hula girls, lu‘aus, and plenty of sun, surf, and sea. While Hawai‘i is indeed beautiful, Native Hawaiians struggle with the problems brought about by colonialism, military occupation, tourism, food insecurity, high costs of living, and climate change. In this brilliant reinvention of the travel guide, artists, activists, and scholars redirect readers from the fantasy of Hawai‘i as a tropical paradise and tourist destination toward a multilayered and holistic engagement with Hawai‘i's culture and complex history. The essays, stories, artworks, maps, and tour itineraries in Detours create decolonial narratives in ways that will forever change how readers think about and move throughout Hawai‘i. Contributors.

Vanity Fair (Diversion Classics) by William Makepeace Thackeray Pdf

Thackery’s rapier-sharp wit depicts an unforgettably entertaining portrait of 19th century London in Vanity Fair. Shunned for her lack of money and destined to live a dull life as a governess, Becky Sharp decides to take her fate in her own hands before it’s too late. Using her wit, charm, and beauty, Becky aims straight for the upper crust of society, but she can’t do it alone. Entangled in her tenacious web are a gallery of colorful characters, among them the sweet Amelia Sedley, the empty-headed Rawdon Crawly, his conservative and cold brother Pitt, and everyone’s favorite wealthy aunt, Matilda Crawley. The “novel without a hero” gives readers one perfectly imperfect character after another and is a must-read for fans of satire. Featuring an appendix of discussion questions, this Diversion Classics edition is ideal for use in book groups and classrooms.

Diary of a Detour by Lesley Stern Pdf

Diary of a Detour is film scholar and author Lesley Stern's memoir of living with chronic lymphocytic leukemia. She chronicles the fears and daily experience of coming to grips with an incurable form of cancer by describing the dramas and delving into the science. Stern also nudges cancer off center stage by turning to alternative obsessions and pleasures. In seductive writing she describes her life in the garden and kitchen, the hospital and the library, and her travels—down the street to her meditation center, across the border to Mexico, and across the world to Australia. Her immediate world is inhabited with books, movies, politics, and medical reports that provoke essayistic reflections. As her environment is shared with friends, chickens, a cat called Elvis, mountain goats, whales, lions, and microbes the book opens onto a larger than human world. Intimate and meditative, engrossing and singular, Diary of a Detour offers new ideas about what it might mean to live and think with cancer, and with chronic illness more broadly.
