Falyn Fairchild can walk away from anything. Already leaving behind her car, her education, and even her parents, the daughter of the next governor of Colorado is back in her hometown, broke and waiting tables for the Bucksaw Café. After every shift, Falyn adds to her shoebox of cash, hoping to one day save enough to buy her a plane ticket to the only place she can find forgiveness: Eakins, Illinois.
The moment Taylor Maddox is seated in Falyn’s section at the Bucksaw, she knows he’s trouble. Taylor is charming, breaks promises, and gorgeous even when covered in filth—making him everything Falyn believes a hotshot firefighter to be. Falyn isn’t interested in becoming another statistic, and for a Maddox boy, a disinterested girl is the ultimate challenge.
Once Falyn learns where Taylor calls home, everything changes. In the end, Maddox persistence is met with Falyn’s talent for leaving, and for the first time, Taylor may be the one to get burned.

Intense. Dangerous. Addictive. Meet your next obsession... Abby
Abernathy doesn't drink or swear and she works hard. Abby believes
she has created enough distance between her and the darkness of her
past, but when she arrives at college, her dreams of a new
beginning are quickly challenged by the university's walking
one-night stand. Bad Boy Travis Maddox, handsome, built, and
covered in tattoos, is exactly what Abby needs - and wants - to
avoid. He spends his nights winning money in a floating fight club,
and his days as the notorious college Lothario. A disaster waiting
to happen... Intrigued by Abby's resistance to his charms, Travis
tricks her into his life with a simple bet. If he loses, he must
remain celibate for a month. If Abby loses, she must live in
Travis' apartment for the same amount of time. Or the start of
something beautiful? Either way, Travis has no idea that he has met
his match. Or that this is the start of an obsessive, intense
relationship that will lead them both into unimaginable
territory...

When the world ends, can love survive?
For Scarlet, raising her two daughters alone means fighting for
tomorrow is an everyday battle. Nathan has a wife, but can't
remember what it's like to be in love; only his young daughter Zoe
makes coming home worthwhile. Miranda's biggest concern is whether
her new VW Bug is big enough to carry her sister and their
boyfriends on a weekend escape from college finals.
When reports of a widespread, deadly "outbreak" begin to surface,
these ordinary people face extraordinary circumstances and suddenly
their fates are intertwined. Recognizing they can't outrun the
danger, Scarlet, Nathan, and Miranda desperately seek shelter at
the same secluded ranch, Red Hill. Emotions run high while old and
new relationships are tested in the face of a terrifying enemy--an
enemy who no longer remembers what it's like to be human.
Set against the backdrop of a brilliantly realized apocalyptic
world, love somehow finds a way to survive. But what happens when
the one you'd die for becomes the one who could destroy you?
"Red Hill" grabs you from the first page and doesn't let go until
its stunning conclusion. This is #1 "New York Times" bestselling
author Jamie McGuire at her unforgettable best.
The king of winter and the queen of summer are dead. The fight for
their crowns begins! Melanie has a destiny, though it isn’t the
one everyone assumes it to be. She’s delicate; she’s fragile;
she’s dying. Now, truly, is the winter of her soul. Harry
doesn’t want to believe in destiny, because that means accepting
the loss of the one person who gives his life meaning, who brings
summer to his world. So, when a new road is laid out in front of
them—a road that will lead through untold dangers toward a
possible lifetime together—walking down it seems to be the only
option. But others are following behind, with violence in their
hearts. It looks like Destiny has a plan for them, after all….

Longleaf pine forests are an iconic forest of the southeastern
United States. Although these forests were often called "pine
barrens" by early explorers and colonists, they were far from
barren. Frequent and low-intensity surface fires are fueled by the
unique plant diversity of the forest itself and serve as the
catalyst that perpetuates the ecosystem on which many rare species
depend. With this guide, authors John McGuire, Carol Denhof, and
Byron Levan reveal the forest’s unique characteristics by shining
a light on its inhabitants, the ecological processes that are
necessary for their survival, and how we as humans play a role in
shaping this ecosystem. Covering a wide range of topics, such as
the anatomy of the longleaf tree, its history (and revival), and
the surrounding fauna and flora, the authors provide the general
reader with a thorough understanding of a forest that used to
stretch as far as the eye could see. They claim that although the
remnants of this once-great longleaf pine forest exist, they are
often just a reminder of its former majesty, only recognizable to
the informed observer. The Forest That Fire Made is dedicated to
introducing the next generation of outdoor enthusiasts to many of
the unique animals and plants that their ancestors would have
known. This guide includes three hundred color images of the flora
and fauna that make longleaf pine forests their habitat and more
than forty detailed drawings that document the most common species
of animals, plants, and insects found there. It also describes more
than forty longleaf pine forests to visit in nine southern states:
Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Texas, and Virginia. In these preserved areas (many
of which are publicly accessible), one can still experience the
majesty of these once-dominant ecological communities.

This new edition continues on its journey of being an introduction
to the wide variety of conveyor types and application methods
available. It discusses conveyor and system design and in its new
edition, expands on information about sorters and motorized roller
conveyors, new information on robotic interfaces, as well as some
of the tradeoffs made when conveyor design rules are intentionally
broken. Each chapter now also includes questions and problems to
help reinforce the material covered. Conveyors: Application,
Selection, and Integration includes a pictorial of various
installations of conveyors in detail that the reader can model
after. It presents common installation mistakes made and discusses
how the reader can avoid them in the future during the integration
process. The book focuses on conveyor application information that
is offered in just this book and discusses the effect that extreme
temperatures have while providing real-life examples of conveyor
system design that may at times break common design rules. This
book is a resource for Engineers, Managers, and Executives that
want to gain a better understanding of conveyors and their
application. It is also for colleges and universities that offer
Industrial and/or Manufacturing Engineering curriculums.
If you ever lost a sock, you'll find it here. If you ever wondered
where your favourite toy from childhood ended up, it's probably
sitting on a shelf in the back. And the headphones that you swore
that this time you'd keep safe? You guessed it... Antoinette has
lost her father. Metaphorically. He's not in the shop, and she'll
never see him again. But when Antsy finds herself lost (literally,
this time), she finds that however many doors open for her, leaving
the Shop for good might not be as simple as it sounds. Lost in the
Moment and Found tells us that childhood and innocence, once lost,
can never be found.
‘Gate fever’ is the name of a non-medical syndrome said to
infect men in prison as the date of their discharge draws near. Its
symptoms are euphoria and anxiety, mixed with irrational thinking;
and the unfailing cure of the condition is the cold douche of
reality which awaits the victim outside the prison gate. The
primary aim of this book, originally published in 1984, is to
describe and promote social-skills-based methods for helping
offenders cope better with the problems they face in the community:
finding and keeping work and accommodation, managing money and
leisure time, getting on with other people and, in some cases,
controlling their drinking or violent behaviour. Based on an
action-research project undertaken with nearly four hundred men in
Ranby and Ashwell prisons and at the Sheffield day training centre,
the book outlines the origins of the project, the design and
development of course materials, and the training of prison
officers and probation staff to administer them. It looks at the
characteristics of the men who took part in the experiment and at
their problems, and details the content and conduct of the courses
in practice. The results of the work are also reported, often in
the words of the men who made use of the methods. Overall offending
rates were not reduced but violent offenders at Ranby were less
likely to be re-convicted of violent offences after release. One of
the outcomes of the project was a model for working with offenders
which has spread to other prisons and probation areas. A final
chapter discusses the difficulties of doing innovative work in
penal establishments and makes suggestions for developing social
skills work with prisoners and probationers.
