Summary

Ever since they met as teenagers volunteering at a conference center in Costa Rica 20 years ago, Fern Espinoza and Lily Graden have shared a close friendship, even though they live in different states. They can hardly believe it when their teen dream of traveling to Africa together becomes a reality. It's the trip of a lifetime--but life sure isn't what they thought it would be back when they were young. 
 
Along with their suitcases, each woman brings along emotional baggage that weighs heavily on them. Yet the people they meet and the places they experience have the power to change their hearts--but only if they surrender to the lessons God wants to teach them in this unexpected land of emerald tea fields, graceful giraffes, and rambunctious elephants.  
 
Pack your bags and get ready for adventure as Robin Jones Gunn invites you on a safari of the heart in this vulnerable exploration of how to move forward in faith even when the future is uncertain.

    Warning: Explicit Content. An ENF Submissive Female Story of Intense Humiliation. "Pretty Teachers, Nasty Pretty Teachers, Nasty Students" Series. Poor Jill Johnson didn’t mean any harm. She was only trying to do what was best for the students in her business management class. Yes, she’s been riding them hard lately—but only so that they’ll be ready for the dog-eat-dog business world when they start their careers. 
      
    Unfortunately, her students don’t see it that way. They’ve begun to lose interest in her class, their grades are dropping, and some have even considered dropping out. Frankly, they’re mad as hell at her. Even worse, the dean of the college, Jeffrey Tanner, is just as angry at the prospect of losing students. Indeed, he’s so angry that he comes storming into her classroom one day and threatens to fire her. Or… Pervert that he is, Dean Tanner decides to offer Jill a “way out.” Instead of being fired, she can simply submit to a bare-bottom spanking—one that is to be administered by her students and himself! 
      
    Oh, God, Jill can’t do that! She can’t lay across their laps, one after the other, have her dress and slip raised and her panties pulled down in front of everyone. The poor woman is modest enough as it is. On the other hand, she can’t afford to lose her job, either. 
      
    Oh, but don’t worry about Jill. She may be modest, but she isn’t about to let her husband and her students have all the fun in this matter! If you love stories of public exposure that feature sweet, innocent educators taken to the outer limits of humiliation, embarrassment, and degradation by students as dirty-minded as they come, this story is for you. Teaching may be a thankless profession at times, but you’ll sure be thankful when you hear all about it!

    Jason Saylor has returned to his hometown on the northern coast of Florida. Dubbed the Forgotten Coast by its developers and realtors, Jason has forgotten and left behind most of his past. The past, he learns, can catch up to you as old relationships and friendships are re-evaluated and tested. He’s been involuntarily furloughed from a successful career in investigative journalism, a career that threatened too many of Houston’s power elite. 
    Now that he’s home, he finds himself embroiled as a prime suspect in the case of missing coed, Lindsey Lawrence. His intention of spending the furlough writing a new series of euro-spy novels is interrupted, as he puts his skills to the test to clear his name against the advice of the Sheriff and his former best friend, now a local policeman. 
    Part of a foursome of friends from his high school days, he finds now that rekindling those friendships can be both helpful and hazardous to his freedom as he searches for either the missing girl’s abductor or worse, her corpse. Upon the recent death of her mother, Lindsey is an orphan and Saylor’s best hope is finding her next of kin, the only person who might have a claim on her considerable estate. Aiding Jason's search is Belle, Lindsey's roommate and the clerk at the family store. She soon becomes more than just a friend in need.

    The Odell Buckenflush Chronicles 4 is back with 48 wildly entertaining river tales that prove one thing: you don’t have to be graceful to be legendary. Join Dr. Odell Buckenflush and his lovable crew of misfits as they brave rogue canoes, border mishaps, soapbox disasters, and one unforgettable encounter with a “she-raft.” Whether he's accidentally smuggling people across international lines or inventing Olympic canoe events no one asked for, Odell shows us that outdoor adventures are a lot like life—messy, unpredictable, and best tackled with a good sense of humor. 
    Each story ends with a “Tale of the Tale” that peeks behind the scenes at the real-life mayhem that inspired the madness. This isn’t just a book for paddlers—it’s for anyone who’s ever fallen out of a boat, lost their keys in a questionable outhouse, or just needed a good laugh. Educational? Sort of. Inspirational? Accidentally. Entertaining? Absolutely.
