A Wonderful World

Vincent Evhade

Sinopsis

A Wonderful World! You cannot tell the particular broomstick that will kill a fly neither can you know the food that is sweet by merely looking at it. You cannot judge people by their present situation in life as long as they are still breathing. But like many people, this is the fundamental mistake that Mr Giwa Smart, Utaina Ekugbe's teacher, makes in this story. He makes Utaina feel as if he is less than a human being. But in truth, no parent can be proud of Utaina's achievements. Even Utaina is ashamed of himself. But then, fate enters into the situation. In spite of Utaina’s miserable situations and Mr Giwa Smart's evil character, how they can both agree that this indeed is a wonderful world at the end of this story, which is full of shocking twists and adventure, is simply incredible! This story, which is about the transitional life and self-discovery of Utaina as he goes through his own share of challenges in life, also highlights the Okpameri culture and history in an exciting way.

You’re My IT

C.N. Holmberg

Fourth try's the charm . . . or is it? 
 
 
 
The first guy Blaine ever confessed her feelings to dismissed her. The second made her friendless. The third, a viral internet sensation. 
 
 
 
And Blaine is praying the fourth will be different. 
 
 
 
After two years of pining for the aloof and secretly hilarious IT guy at work, roller-derby-warrior Blaine creates a master plan: after Lysander returns from his transfer in California, she's going to spill everything. And why not? She's got a killer undercut, thighs of steel, and shares his love for superheroes. In her book, they're a match made in heaven. 
 
 
 
Lysander has enough self-esteem to fill a thimble and has always struggled with his place in the world. When his father has a health scare, Lysander takes charge of his own, and consequentially loses fifty pounds. Suddenly the people around him think he's worth his space—especially the women. And when Lysander fishes the literally shallow waters of dating and returns with a girl on his arm, Blaine fears she may have lost her chance with him entirely.

To Catch a Husband

Sophia Holloway

Gloucestershire, 1813. Miss Mary Lound of Tapley End would be the first to say that she demonstrates more grace with a fishing rod in her hand than she might ever twirling in a ballroom.

When the new owner, Sir Rowland Kempsey, takes up residence, Mary decides to direct her energies into recovering her beloved home by catching a husband. 
 
Promisingly Sir Rowland thinks Miss Lound is a breath of fresh air. But with awkward attempts at flirtation, a duplicitous predator at large in the neighbourhood and the emergence of feelings that complicate her pragmatic goal, Mary discovers that landing the man she wants is more difficult than she had anticipated.

Rumor has it there could be a major shakeup among the officers and crew onboard Siren of the Seas if they are found negligent. For Millie, it’s a race against time to figure out if the cowboy recklessly put his life in danger or if something much more sinister is afoot.
