  In the wild mountains of the Montana Territory, the Coulter ranch is a place of family, loyalty, a hidden fortune…and a bride he can’t remember marrying.  Jude Coulter is far more comfortable in his family’s sapphire mine tucked in the Montana mountains than on the bustling streets of New York City, where he’s been sent to deliver a shipment of gems. His relief at boarding the train for the first leg of his journey home is short-lived when an accident renders him unconscious.  Angela Larkin worked hard to earn this assignment for the Treasury—an undercover mission to determine the source of the sapphires brought each year for auction in the city. When an accident causes her target to lose his recent memory, Angela jumps at the opportunity to create the ideal ruse. Jude seems surprised to learn the two of them had married and were returning from a glorious wedding trip, but his severe head injury keeps him from protesting…for now.  But the accident is far from the worst threat they face. When enemies close in, Angela and Jude must depend on each other to survive the treacherous journey home. As the danger mounts, so too does an attraction neither of them anticipated. But can their love withstand the revelation of their tangled beginnings?  From a USA Today bestselling author comes a mountain family saga filled with a pretend marriage, amnesia, undercover agents, and a love worth treasuring far more than riches.

  Human beings are inherently social creatures, shaped by the need to interact, communicate, and form relationships with others. The social nature of humans is deeply rooted in evolutionary history, where cooperation and group cohesion were essential for survival. Over time, human societies have become increasingly complex, but the fundamental need for social connection remains central to human identity and behavior. This chapter explores the biological, psychological, and sociological foundations of human sociality and how they shape individual and collective behavior. 
  From an evolutionary perspective, human beings have always relied on social bonds for protection, resource sharing, and collective problem-solving. Early human groups depended on coordinated hunting, gathering, and defense mechanisms to survive in harsh environments. Natural selection favored individuals who could effectively communicate, cooperate, and form alliances, leading to the development of social behaviors such as empathy, altruism, and social hierarchies. The human brain evolved to process social information, with structures such as the prefrontal cortex playing a critical role in understanding and responding to social cues. 
  Psychologically, the need for social connection is reflected in the human desire for belonging, acceptance, and emotional support. Attachment theory, developed by John Bowlby, suggests that early attachment to caregivers forms the foundation for future social relationships.

  The First King of England is a foundational biography of Æthelstan (d. 939), the early medieval king whose territorial conquests and shrewd statesmanship united the peoples, languages, and cultures that would come to be known as the “kingdom of the English.”Set against the backdrop of warring powers in early medieval Europe, The First King of England sheds new light on Æthelstan’s early life, his spectacular military victories and the innovative way he governed his kingdom, his fostering of the church, the deft political alliances he forged with Europe’s royal houses, and his death and enduring legacy. It begins with the reigns of Alfred the Great and Edward the Elder, Æthelstan’s grandfather and father, describing how they consolidated and expanded the “kingdom of the Anglo-Saxons.” But it was Æthelstan who would declare himself the first king of all England when, in 927, he conquered the viking kingdom at York, required the submission of a Scottish king, and secured an annual tribute from the Welsh kings.The First King of England is the most comprehensive, up-to-date biography of Æthelstan available, bringing a magisterial richness of detail to the life of a consequential British monarch whose strategic and political sophistication was unprecedented for his time.
