It was an accidental spring fling three years ago - one week spent in the mountains of Big Sur, and no one was the wiser. Ignore the fact that Tobias James was my neighbor and my best friend's older brother - and that upon our return his hoop dreams were waiting for him, robbing us of any potential future we could have shared. Now, I'm fulfilling my own dreams in LA, and my biggest dream of all is about to come true. The last thing I expected was for my past and my present to collide. Not now. Not here. Not him. But he struts back into my life like he never even left.

Benson Bexley has always had a heart of stone. Apparently nothing has changed. When he returns home after a decade gone, I recognize him right away. How could I forget him? He's the same cocky flirt who slid dirty poetry to me in art class. With the same stone-cold stare that shielded his soul from the world. And that same sharp-edged jaw that cut straight through my heart like a dagger.

Kai's life is a series of choreographed steps, each one shielding her from her tragic past. Audition, dance, get paid, repeat. It's a broken record, but it's what keeps her world spinning. When a dangerously handsome man with trouble written all over his face rides into her life, his entrance makes a disastrous splash. Soon, Kai's safe and secure world is on the brink of shattering, and there's only one man to blame. Unfortunately, he's also the same man who is offering her the role of a lifetime.

Join the last vestiges of Humanity and their alien allies (the reptilian Thrynn, the insectoid Velox, and the plant-based Elowan) as they attempt to carve out their own territory in a sector of space filled with wondrous opportunity and deadly threats. Brave explorers seek out new worlds to colonize while merchants cruise from starport to starport, their holds laden with exotic goods. Not all in this futuristic setting have noble intent. For every prospector and trader attempting to make a difference, a dozen pirates, smugglers, and mobsters engage in all manner of criminal enterprise.

Jamison Bexley is the one who got away. If only I hadn't pushed him. Seven years ago, he was my everything. My confidant. My safe haven. My best friend. However, dating him was never an option. Not when his eyes gravitated toward every girl in town but me. That is, until the curse of bad timing found us both . . . and struck. All it took was one night. One big mistake. Altering everything we could ever be.

When Spurgeon speaks, you’d be wise to listen. The great London preacher Charles Haddon Spurgeon had a lot to say during his four decades of ministry at the Metropolitan Tabernacle. And beyond his mighty voice, Spurgeon’s pen churned out countless words of biblical interpretation and Christian wisdom. These words can still encourage us today! This volume of the Spurgeon Speaks series focuses on the power of God’s Word. Nothing motivated Spurgeon more than proclaiming the holy Scriptures. His love for the Bible will encourage you as well.

If I hadn’t considered Amelia dangerous before, I certainly did now. She wasn’t anything like I had expected. Even after all these years - of living so close to her, of listening to her giggle with my sister in the bedroom next to mine - I hadn’t given much thought to my sister’s best friend. But in the span of one week, everything had changed.

The Danish-Mormon migration to Utah in the 19th century was, relative to population size, one of the largest European religious out-migrations in history.

This book tells that exciting and complex story for the first time.

Ripley facing down the Xenomorph Queen. Sarah Connor fighting the Terminator. David Weber’s Honor Harrington.

Seminary is an important step toward ministry - but only when you make the most of it. Many seminarians finish their education with regrets and missed opportunities.

If it had not been for our brothers from a distant sister world over a thousand light years distant, the consequences of compromise that came upon us so suddenly may have been far more dire. Theirs was not to intervene, but to guide and mentor. Their biting chastisement at times was partly just who they were, but also a long suffering, watching us unseen for so many centuries, fall deeper into the chasms that form when good men fail in their responsibility to stand guard against evil men.

Anderson Bexley was the love of my life . . . or so I thought. For years, I convinced myself that one day he would see me as more than the bubbly activities director at his family's campground. Sure, he was ten years older. Deeply tortured. And far too devoted to the family business to make time for his own happiness. But none of that mattered. Especially after one blissful night when he was all mine. I thought our forever had finally begun, but he broke my heart instead.
