  Falling in love was not in their wedding vows… 
   
  Loren Cane is in a downward spiral. Since her fiancé left her, she’s been juggling multiple jobs, mounting bills, and a father who’s slipping away. The only thing she has left is the found family that anchors her. 
   
  Namely, Bridger Adams. 
   
  Bridger has been hiding his secret wealth, his powerful influence, and the brutal condition attached to both: Walk down the aisle with a woman chosen for him, or sacrifice control of the trust fund that could save everything he cares about. 
   
  Especially Loren Cane. 
   
  Loren knows she can’t afford to lose Bridger. But as his deadline looms, her situation turns critical, and she proposes something outrageous: 
   
  Marry me instead. 
   
  On the surface, her solution is practical and mutually beneficial. Their wedding vows conveniently protect what matters most. 
   
  But as the boundaries of their friendship blur into something dangerously real, a new demand threatens to tear them apart. 
   
  Now, Loren and Bridger face an impossible choice: 
   
  Stay married and fight for love… 
   
  Or walk away with the money and lose each other.

  The Secret History of Food -...

  Matt Siegel

  An irreverent, surprising, and entirely entertaining look at the little-known history surrounding the foods we know and love 
   
  Is Italian olive oil really Italian, or are we dipping our bread in lamp oil? Why are we masochistically drawn to foods that can hurt us, like hot peppers? Far from being a classic American dish, is apple pie actually . . . English? 
  “As a species, we’re hardwired to obsess over food,” Matt Siegel explains as he sets out “to uncover the hidden side of everything we put in our mouths.” Siegel also probes subjects ranging from the myths—and realities—of food as aphrodisiac, to how one of the rarest and most exotic spices in all the world (vanilla) became a synonym for uninspired sexual proclivities, to the role of food in fairy- and morality tales. He even makes a well-argued case for how ice cream helped defeat the Nazis. 
  The Secret History of Food is a rich and satisfying exploration of the historical, cultural, scientific, sexual, and, yes, culinary subcultures of this most essential realm. Siegel is an armchair Anthony Bourdain, armed not with a chef’s knife but with knowledge derived from medieval food-related manuscripts, ancient Chinese scrolls, and obscure culinary journals. Funny and fascinating, The Secret History of Food is essential reading for all foodies. 
  Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

  Off-Grid Projects - Build Your...

  Explanation of what off-grid living means Off-grid living is a lifestyle that involves living without the reliance on public utilities such as electricity, water, and gas. Instead, individuals generate their own power using renewable energy sources like solar, wind, or hydroelectric energy. They also use alternative sources for heating and cooking, such as wood-burning stoves or geothermal systems. 
  The concept of off-grid living is not new, and has been around for centuries. Before the advent of modern public utilities, people lived off the land, using natural resources to sustain themselves. This involved growing crops and raising livestock for food, collecting rainwater, and using wood or coal for heating and cooking. 
  Today, off-grid living is becoming more popular due to concerns about climate change, rising energy costs, and the desire for a more self-sufficient lifestyle. Off-grid living is also seen as a way to reduce dependence on external resources and to live a more sustainable and environmentally friendly lifestyle.
