Beschreibung

The Vicar of Bullhampton is an 1870 novel by Anthony Trollope. It is made up of three intertwining subplots: the courtship of a young woman by two suitors; a feud between the titular Broad church vicar and a Low church nobleman, abetted by a Methodist minister; and the vicar's attempt to rehabilitate a young woman who has gone astray. Excerpt: "I am disposed to believe that no novel reader in England has seen the little town of Bullhampton, in Wiltshire, except such novel readers as live there, and those others, very few, who visit it perhaps four times a year for trade, and who are known as commercial gentlemen. Bullhampton is seventeen miles from Salisbury, eleven from Marlborough, nine from Westbury, seven from Haylesbury, and five from the nearest railroad station, which is called Bullhampton Road, and lies on the line from Salisbury to Yeovil."

    The UNS Women's Lacrosse team doesn't have an official policy against inter-teammate relationships, but those words might as well be carved into stone tablets in the middle of the field. After witnessing way too much drama in the past, Captain Becca Moore is intent on keeping her players' love lives out of the locker room. 
     
     
     
    Becca has no time or tolerance for any distractions from the game. Unfortunately, that's exactly what Hope Hastings has been since the day she showed up for tryouts: charismatically dorky and kissable distraction. 
     
     
     
    Hope knew she was headed straight to the danger zone from the moment she saw Becca's flame-red hair and surly captain smirk. She's spent the past two years writing off her attraction as a harmless crush, but starting a new semester fresh out of an awful relationship makes Hope realize just how far from harmless the heat between them really is. 
     
     
     
    The friendships of a tight-knit team and their shot at the title are all lying on the line, but as Hope and Becca get closer to bending rules they've sworn never to break, they realize they've put their hearts on that line too. Losing has never been an option, but winning might cost more than they're willing to pay.

    The wandering Cleric Chih returns home to the Singing Hills Abbey for the first time in almost three years, to be met with both joy and sorrow. Their mentor, Cleric Thien, has died, and rests among the archivists and storytellers of the storied abbey. But not everyone is prepared to leave them to their rest. 
     
     
     
    Because Cleric Thien was once the patriarch of Coh clan of Northern Bell Pass—and now their granddaughters have arrived on the backs of royal mammoths, demanding their grandfather's body for burial. Chih must somehow balance honoring their mentor's chosen life while keeping the sisters from the north from storming the gates and destroying the history the clerics have worked so hard to preserve. 
     
     
     
    But as Chih and their neixin Almost Brilliant navigate the looming crisis, Myriad Virtues, Cleric Thien's own beloved hoopoe companion, grieves her loss as only a being with perfect memory can, and her sorrow may be more powerful than anyone could anticipate . . .

    The Chasing of Eleanor Vane, narrated by Shane East and Evelyn Rose: 
    Ajax Dartham, the Duke of Jarrell, has a problem.  And that problem is his future niece-in-law.  When the clever and capable Lady Eleanor Vane runs off into the night rather than marry his nephew, the duke has a choice.  Should he catch Eleanor and return her to her fate—or make Eleanor his own instead? 
    The Last Crimes of Peregrine Hind, narrated by Shane East and James Joseph: 
    Peregrine Hind, known to all as the bloodiest highwayman ever to bedevil the road, seeks only one thing—revenge against the Dartham family.  And so when a robbery sends the second Dartham son and notorious rakehell Alexander Dartham tumbling to Peregrine’s feet, it seems like fate has given Peregrine his vengeance at last.  Except then Alexander offers him a desperate bargain: to kidnap him instead…

    England is burning with Norman fires, and Tate—the youngest ever abbess of Far Hope Abbey—is determined to guard the abbey’s ancient secrets with her very life.

    Emmalynn Gallagher threw caution to the wind once—and found herself in the middle of a tornado. Needless to say, she won't be doing that again. Now she fills her life with plans and to-do lists. Having moved home for a fresh start, Emma's facing the ultimate re-do list when she abruptly comes face to face with Aubrey Glass, the source of Emma's teenage yearning. 
     
     
     
    Aubrey wouldn't recognize yearning if it tornadoed into her face, but she does recognize Emma . . . even if she wishes she didn't. Socializing, especially with her past, is Aubrey's least favorite activity. She's tender in spots no one can see and would prefer to fade into the background. 
     
     
     
    Amidst the backdrop of towering shelves of books and the persistent aroma of freshly brewed coffee, Emma and Aubrey navigate their post-high school reunion. With plenty of fumbles and missteps, it doesn't seem likely that they'll manage to merge their paths, nor does it always seem that they want to . . . until suddenly, it's the only thing that makes sense to either one of them.

    They say time heals all wounds. Well, I'm not getting any younger. 
     
     
     
    My disciplinary file at ESCU is almost as thick as my personnel file, which is saying something since I've been working for them for more than twenty years. I do the jobs no one else wants, go places no one is supposed to go to deal with monsters that don't exist. After a while, you get a feel for how a mission's going to go, and I have a feeling this next one is going to be fifty shades of FUBAR. 
     
     
     
    And not just because my new partner, Ziggy, is last night's one-night stand. 
     
     
     
    Whom I may have accidentally married . . . 
     
     
     
    He's a furry blue monster with big dreams and an even bigger heart. We're supposed to be locating an escaped monster and the AWOL soldier who broke him out. I can't afford to complicate our working relationship with feelings, especially given how my last relationship ended. 
     
     
     
    For better or worse we're stuck together until I can figure out how to undo this, which is just as well considering everything I know about ESCU might be a lie. 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.
