  The Sign of the Four (1890), also called The Sign of Four, is the second novel featuring Sherlock Holmes written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Doyle wrote four novels and 56 short stories featuring the fictional detective.
  The story is set in 1888. The Sign of the Four has a complex plot involving service in India, the Indian Rebellion of 1857, a stolen treasure, and a secret pact among four convicts ("the Four" of the title) and two corrupt prison guards. It presents the detective's drug habit and humanizes him in a way that had not been done in the preceding novel, A Study in Scarlet (1887). It also introduces Doctor Watson's future wife, Mary Morstan.

  BOOK 1: A Sweet Day for the Cowboy 
  Jenna is a single mom and a kick butt lawyer completely focused on inheriting her father’s firm—until the charming cowboy walks into her office. 
  Okay, so Denver’s not a real cowboy. He only plays one on TV, which makes Jenna even more skeptical. How can she trust someone who acts for a living? Especially when she’s been burned so badly in the past. 
  BOOK 2: A Sweet Surprise for the Cowboy 
  Kash has lived his entire life at a breakneck speed. When he finds out he has a daughter, that comes to a screeching halt.

Can he find someone willing to babysit on his brother’s remote ranch-turned-goat-rescue? 
  Bella is a college student who needs the income. But the second she meets Kash and Polly, it becomes about more than money. In fact, she has to keep reminding herself that Kash can’t be trusted. He’s left a trail of broken hearts all over town, and the more time Bella spends with him, the more she worries about hers.

  Clean cut, all-American, hot as sin, and sweet enough to lick all over. 
  That’s how my friend Skye describes Miles Blake. It’s how I’d describe him, too, if I didn’t just find out the one-night stand that rocked my world is my best friend’s fiancé’s best friend…God, what a mouthful. 
  Now, the cat’s out of the bag, and despite the lingering attraction between us, I’ve locked him firmly in the friend zone. 
  What else am I supposed to do? If I allow myself to enjoy Miles the way I want to, what will happen when things inevitably go bad? We’d be putting our prospective best friends in the middle, that’s what. And I refuse to be the cause of tension between my bestie and the love of her life. 
  No way. No how. 
  But it doesn’t take long for the desire simmering inside me to come to a head. Miles is charming, funny, gorgeous, and kind…everything I could want in a man wrapped in a sexy package that makes my body revolt against my mind and its ridiculous decision to keep things friendly. 
  So we make a deal––we’ll remain friends, but with…ahem…benefits. Nothing changes outside of the bedroom, and when we end the physical stuff, we’ll remain friends. No harm. No foul. 
  It’s the perfect plan, right?

  The Street That Wasn't There - A...

  The Street That Wasn't There by Carl Jacobi and Clifford D. Simak - He did the same thing at the same time every night for 20 years. Then he realized something was wrong, something was very wrong. 
  Mr. Jonathon Chambers left his house on Maple Street at exactly seven o'clock in the evening and set out on the daily walk he had taken, at the same time, come rain or snow, for twenty solid years. 
  The walk never varied. He paced two blocks down Maple Street, stopped at the Red Star confectionery to buy a Rose Trofero perfecto, then walked to the end of the fourth block on Maple. There he turned right on Lexington, followed Lexington to Oak, down Oak and so by way of Lincoln back to Maple again and to his home. 
  He didn't walk fast. He took his time. He always returned to his front door at exactly 7:45. No one ever stopped to talk with him. Even the man at the Red Star confectionery, where he bought his cigar, remained silent while the purchase was being made. Mr. Chambers merely tapped on the glass top of the counter with a coin, the man reached in and brought forth the box, and Mr. Chambers took his cigar. That was all. 
  For people long ago had gathered that Mr. Chambers desired to be left alone. The newer generation of townsfolk called it eccentricity. Certain uncouth persons had a different word for it. The oldsters remembered that this queer looking individual with his black silk muffler, rosewood cane and bowler hat once had been a professor at State University. 
  A professor of metaphysics, they seemed to recall, or some such outlandish subject.
