Summary

In the midst of war, famine, and displacement, one woman carries hope across borders.This book follows the gripping true-to-life journey of Amara, a dedicated United Nations Official, as she navigates deployment after deployment to some of the world’s most volatile conflict zones. From the dusty refugee camps of Maiduguri to the bombed-out cities of Yemen, Amara must rapidly adapt to unfamiliar cultures, harsh living conditions, and bureaucratic challenges – all while delivering lifesaving aid to the most vulnerable: women and children caught in the chaos of man-made crises.Torn between her personal desire for stability and the unrelenting call of duty, Amara’s story is one of resilience, cultural immersion, and silent sacrifices. Each new mission brings a fresh test of her endurance, empathy, and professional integrity. Whether she’s negotiating access with warlords, setting up safe spaces for abused women, or simply learning to sleep through mortar fire, Amara’s journey is both harrowing and inspiring.Woman in the Field is a raw, emotionally rich tale that lifts the veil on the unglamorous yet critical work of frontline humanitarian service – and the women who make it possible.Perfect for readers who love stories of real-world heroism, global affairs, and the courage of women under fire.

    Jakob Larson is going to be the death of me. 
    That’s what I think every time he strides into my bar. 
    The Kings of Kearny run this small Texas town, and Jakob is their chief enforcer. 
    The Viking, they call him. He’s a criminal. As dangerous as he is sexy. The kind of man who makes my inner cavewoman sit up and take notice. 
    Him big. Make strong babies. Bring home mammoth for dinner. 
    I’m ready to indulge her desires, but just for one night. Unfortunately, Jakob has other plans. 
    Someone in town is breaking one of the cardinal rules set by the leader of The Kings. And Jakob thinks they’re using my grandmother’s nursing home as a front for their illicit activities. 
    Now I’m neck-deep in trouble with him, and every time I think I’ve figured out what’s really going on, Jakob reveals another piece of the puzzle. 
    I need to figure out how far I’m willing to go to protect this town. How far I’m willing to go with Jakob. 
    Because if I fall for him, there’s no going back. No hope for a peaceful ending. 
    But Jakob is the kind of man who makes me think that peaceful is overrated, and that descending into darkness with him could lead to something even better than a Happily Ever After.

    🪡 Vintage button shop owner Pearl Button is organizing a historical fashion exhibit when the town's most ruthless antique dealer is found dead in her shop—with a rare Victorian button shank lodged in his throat. The police suspect a bizarre accident, but Pearl recognizes the button as part of a missing set from a legendary 19th-century gown and notices the victim's collection contains forged Civil War-era buttons. With her shop temporarily closed and the antique community buzzing with suspicion, Pearl must fasten together an investigation that spans centuries. Assisted by her sewing circle and the handsome museum curator researching local textile history, Pearl uncovers a scheme involving button counterfeiting, stolen military insignia, and a black market for historic fasteners. From suspicious thread holes that reveal modern manufacturing to enamel colors that don't match the period, every button tells a story. But when Pearl discovers the victim was blackmailing collectors about their forged collections and stolen heirlooms, she realizes the killer is protecting a reputation more fragile than porcelain. With the fashion exhibit opening soon and the real culprit still sewing deception, Pearl must stitch together the truth before her own button box gets permanently closed.
