  This annotated edition of "Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town" includes: 
  A biography of Stephen Leacock By Peter Gilchrist McArthur (1923). 
  "Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town" is considered to be the masterpiece of Stephen Leacock. Originally published in 1912, it is a set of tales occurring in the fictional hamlet of Mariposa, on the shores of Lake Wissanotti. Many of the characters in the stories are patterned on locals of Orillia, Ontario. The stories are  gems of Canadian small town folklore. Leacock brings the quirks, eccentricities and flaws of these everyday people to life in the most humorous way. Every corner of Mariposa has a story to tell! 
  Quoting Leacock: "Mariposa is not a real town. On the contrary, it is about seventy or eighty of them. You may find them all the way from Lake Superior to the sea, with the same square streets and the same maple trees and the same churches and hotels."

  Xavier Blackthorne: As a bodyguard, I've protected all kinds of people, but I never expected my next client to be the Vice President's son. 
   
   
   
  Blake King is all awkward smiles and high walls, but from the moment I meet him, I'm hooked. 
   
   
   
  I've always kept emotions out of the job, but Blake makes that impossible. When a rogue pack of shifters attacks, it's clear they want something from him. Now, with danger closing in and no time to waste, I'll have to risk everything to uncover the truth. Because failure isn't an option, and neither is letting Blake slip through my fingers. 
   
   
   
  Blake King: Being the Vice President's son has perks—like getting assigned a sexy golden dragon shifter as my bodyguard. 
   
   
   
  I thought this summer would be simple: finish my classes, get a tan, and head home. Falling for Xavier was not part of the plan. Neither was becoming the target of a deadly secret organization. 
   
   
   
  Now, we're in the crosshairs, and we don't even know why. Trust is hard to come by, but the chemistry between us is impossible to ignore. And as danger closes in, I can't help but wonder if I'll survive long enough to figure out what's happening—or if I'll lose myself to Xavier first. 
   
   
   
  Contains mature themes.
