Book Description
Andrew Spencer arrives in Scotland a week before his sister’s wedding and is immediately roped in to help. His job will be to assist the wedding photographer, Natalie Lockhart. However, she turns out to be the unforgettable one-night stand from six years earlier, the one who he connected with in a way he’s never connected with a woman before—both between the sheets and out of them. Unfortunately, she left before he woke up in the morning, never giving him so much as her name. He should be angry with her, he really should. And yet, the more time he spends with Natalie, the more he wishes he’d woken up in time to catch her six years ago. Since few women would put up with his family’s duels, one of the weirdest dinners in history, and even a wedding-related chocolate emergency, and not go running for the hills, Natalie Lockhart is one-of-a-kind. The added bonus: she sets his skin on fire unlike any other. The only question is whether love and laughter will be enough for them to overcome everything and find a way to be together. Of course, that means surviving the wedding and his family first before they can even think of the future. And given the track record of his family and their get-togethers, surviving without an arrest record isn’t always guaranteed. ==== Keywords: Rom-com, Scottish strong heroine, humor, Scotland, romantic comedy, second chance romance

Book Description
Donella Spencer takes a month-long holiday to Scotland to recharge, relax, and get away from her grandbaby-hungry mother. True, her relatives are eccentric—they like to greet people inside the airport with bagpipes—but the Isle of Mull is tiny and surely there can’t be any single men to bother her. However, before she can even change out of her comfy plane clothes, she comes face-to-face with her childhood crush. Except Robbie Campbell grew up nice, and tall, and maybe even charming. If only she could forgive him for what he did to her as a child. Robbie returns every summer to Mull to help his parents’ business and to give his daughter a chance to better know her family. What he never expected was to see Donella Spencer again—the girl who used to follow him around as a kid and embarrass him. He’s glad to apologize, but he didn’t expect for the annoying girl to grow up to be a smart, funny, and beautiful woman. Even with her crazy family, he wishes he could have a chance with her. But his daughter is his world and Donella is clearly afraid of children. As the pair spend more time together—including at a strange safari-themed birthday party—they learn that maybe they fit together better as adults. Will Donella be able to love Robbie’s daughter and get over her fears? Can Robbie open his heart and trust another woman? Or, will they both leave at the end of the summer and pretend nothing ever happened?

Book Description
This fascinating book is the first volume in a projected cultural history of the United States, from the earliest English settlements to our own time. It is a history of American folkways as they have changed through time, and it argues a thesis about the importance for the United States of having been British in its cultural origins. While most people in the United States today have no British ancestors, they have assimilated regional cultures which were created by British colonists, even while preserving ethnic identities at the same time. In this sense, nearly all Americans are "Albion's Seed," no matter what their ethnicity may be. The concluding section of this remarkable book explores the ways that regional cultures have continued to dominate national politics from 1789 to 1988, and still help to shape attitudes toward education, government, gender, and violence, on which differences between American regions are greater than between European nations.

Brenna harbors no illusions that her husband is in love with her, but their shared past gives her hope. Maybe the laird who once visited her father’s castle and charmed her with a dazzling, unexpected smile remains underneath Connor’s stern exterior.

Book Description
Mary Queen of Scots: Catholic martyr or manipulative femme fatale On 10 February 1567, conspirators bent on killing Henry, Lord Darnley, King-Consort of Mary Queen of Scots successfully razed his Edinburgh residence at Kirk o' Field in a huge explosion. Soon afterwards, Darnley's partially-clothed body was discovered in a nearby orchard, strangled to death by an unknown assailant. Rumours of Mary's involvement in his murder quickly surfaced. Placards across Edinburgh implied that she had provoked the Earl of Bothwell into killing her husband in a crime of passion. This became more plausible when she tried to avoid having to prosecute him for the murder, and subsequently married him, encouraged by her most senior Protestant nobles. While Mary's motives for the marriage might be explained by her need for his protection, those of the Nobility who had encourage it are confusing. Why would they want a union, which would inevitably place Bothwell, a man they hated, as head of government? Was their motif to associate her in the murder plot? Mary's involvement in Darnley's murder has remained one of the great historical mysteries. Genealogist and author Robert Stedall has spent ten years researching the inter-marriages within Scottish peerage to provide an explanation for their motives in removing Mary from the throne. In this first volume, of his two volume history of Mary and James, he explains in vivid detail the switching allegiances of the nobility, and can reveal for the first time, the gripping true story of Mary's downfall and imprisonment.

Actor Ryan Kwok is back in Toronto after the promotional tour for his latest film, a rom-com that is getting less-than-stellar reviews. After years of constant work and the sudden death of his mother, Ryan is taking some much-needed time off. But as he tries to be supportive to his family, he struggles with his loss and doesn't know how to talk to his dad—who now trolls him on Twitter instead of meeting him for dim sum.

When Ryan signs up for a celebrity episode of Baking Fail, he asks Lindsay to teach him how to bake and she agrees. As Lindsay and Ryan spend time together, bonding over grief and bubble tea, it starts to feel like they’re cooking up something sweeter than cupcakes in the kitchen.
