When Meg Whitaker's father decides to sell the family's
lobster-fishing business to her high school nemesis, she sets out
to prove she should inherit it instead. Though she's never had any
interest in running the small fleet--or even getting on a boat due
to her persistent seasickness--she can't stand to see Oliver Ross
take over. Not when he ruined her dreams for a science scholarship
and an Ivy League education ten years ago. Oliver isn't proud of
what he did back then. Angry and broken by his father walking out
on his family, he lashed out at Meg--an innocent bystander. But
owning a respected fishing fleet on Prince Edward Island is the
opportunity of a lifetime, and he's not about to walk away just
because Meg wants him to. Meg's father has the perfect solution:
Oliver and Meg must work the business together, and at the end of
the season, he'll decide who gets it. Along the way, they may
discover that their stories are more similar than they thought . .
. and their dreams aren't what they expected. Bestselling author

Anne Norris moved to Savannah, Georgia, for a fresh start. Now her
pirate-tour business is flagging, and paying the rent requires more
than wishful thinking. When she discovers evidence of a shipwreck
off the coast of Tybee Island, she knows it could be just the boon
she needs to stay afloat. She takes her findings to local museum
director Carter Hale for confirmation, but she runs after a
disastrous first meeting. Carter has been searching for the
location of the wreck detailed in the worn pages of an 18th-century
diary, the discovery of which could open the door to his dream job
at a prestigious museum. But convincing Anne to help him fill in
the missing pieces of the puzzle is no easy task. And working with
Carter means that Anne will have to do the one thing she swore
she'd never do again: trust a man. Finding a monetary backer and
sticking with a search that's turning up nothing will take all
their dedication--and every secret they've tried to hide. If they
can find the lost ship, they may discover a treasure worth more
than all the pirate gold in the world--love.
What does it mean to be "an excellent teacher?" To Dorothy
Heathcote, one of this century's most respected educational
innovators, it means seeing one's pupils as they really are,
shunning labels and stereotypes. It means taking risks: putting
aside one's comfortable, doctrinaire role and participating fully
in the learning process. Above all, it means pushing oneself and
one's students to the outer limits of capability--often, with
miraculous results.
In this lively collection of essays and talks from 1967-80,
Heathcote shares the findings of her groundbreaking work in the
application of theater techniques and play to classroom teaching.
She provides a time-tested philosophy on the value of dramatic
activity in breaking down barriers and overcoming inertia. Her
insistence that teachers must step down from their pedestals and
immerse themselves in the possibility of the moment makes for
magical and challenging reading.
Marie Carrington is running from a host of bad memories. Broke and
desperate, she's hoping to find safety and sanctuary on Prince
Edward Island, where she reluctantly agrees to help decorate a
renovated bed-and-breakfast before it opens for prime tourist
season. Seth Sloane didn't move three thousand miles to work on his
uncle's B&B so he could babysit a woman with a taste for
expensive antiques and a bewildering habit of jumping every time he
brushes past her. He came to help restore the old Victorian--and to
forget about the fiancee who broke his heart. The only thing Marie
and Seth agree on is that getting the Red Door Inn ready to open in
just two months will take everything they've got. Can these two
wounded souls find hope, healing, and perhaps a bit of romance on
this beautiful island? Step into the Red Door Inn, a lovely home
away from home tucked along the north shore of fabled Prince Edward
Island. It's a place where the wounded come to heal, the broken
find forgiveness, and the lonely find a family. Won't you stay for
the season?
