Summary

In early 1800s England, Jess Beauchene has spent most of her life in hiding and always on the move in an effort to leave her past far behind her. But when she learns the family she thought had died just might be alive and in danger, she knows her secrets can only stay buried for so long. 
  
Derek Thornbury loves the past, which has led him to become an expert in history and artifacts. He knows Jess has never liked him, but when she requests his help deciphering the clues laid out in an old family diary, he can't resist the urge to solve the puzzle.  
 
As Jess and Derek race to find the hidden artifact before her family's enemies, they learn as much about each other as they do about the past. But can their search to uncover the truth and set history right lead to a future together?

    The history of America cannot be told without the history of religion, the history of American religion cannot be told without the history of Catholicism, and the history of Catholicism in America cannot be told without the history of Jesuits in America. 
 
 
 
Jesuits in the United States offers a panoramic overview of the Jesuit order in the United States from the colonial era to the present. David J. Collins, SJ, describes the development of the Jesuit order in the US against the background of American religious, cultural, and social history. He covers the papacy's suppression of the order and its restoration period. The author also compares Jesuit activities in the US to those in Europe and, by the twentieth century, to those around the world, as the political and religious connections between the US and the world, especially Latin America, grow. Collins also reflects on the future of the order in light of its past. 
 
 
 
Listeners familiar with the Jesuit tradition and those who are new to it will learn from this book's distinctive and modern perspective—using twenty-first century scholarship on Jesuit slaveholding, the sexual abuse crisis, and other contemporary issues—on 500 years of Jesuit history in the United States.

    There’s no way her rival—and that man who broke her heart—is going to steal her future. Not again. 
Fudge maker Lily Hart is back on Jonathon Island, and this time, she’s not going to fail. She’s learned her lesson after failing out of business school, and losing her dream apprenticeship. But her family’s 74-year-old Fudge Shop belongs to her and she’s going to reopen it and join in the revival of Jonathon Island. Even if she has to wrest it out of the greedy hands of her ex-sweetheart, arrogant Declan Kelley. 
The woman he can’t forget just might cost him everything… 
Business executive Declan isn’t a fudge-maker, but apparently the only way to save his ancestral home is to return to Jonathon Island and reignite the Kelley fudge business. And the Fudge Wars between the Harts and the Kelleys, because feisty Lily Hart is back too. Oh no. Because he’s never forgotten his mistakes, or his regrets that drove him from the island. 
But the space can belong to only one family—which means a contest. Whoever sells the most fudge in one month gets the shop. Forced to share the space, sparks—and old feelings—begin to fly. Lily’s creative flair and Declan’s business acumen might just be the perfect recipe for success…if they can stop fighting long enough to realize it. 
On the other hand, they might just reignite the town feud… 
Sweet, swoony, and full of heart, dive into this romance between reunited rivals who hope to discover that on Jonathon Island, love might be the sweetest thing of all. 
If you like secret love, family rivalries, delicious banter, and second chances, you’ll love this Hatfields and McCoys, sweet and clean small town romance! 
The Jonathon Island series is created by USA Today bestselling, award-winning author Susan May Warren.
