Nowhere in the world is weather as volatile and powerful as it is in North America. Scorching heat in the Southwest, hurricanes on the Atlantic coast, tornadoes in the Plains, blizzards in the mountains: Every area of the country has vastly different weather, and vastly different cultures as a result. Braving the Elements is David Laskin's delightful and fascinating history of how our unique weather has shaped a nation, and how we've tried to cope with it over centuries. Since before Columbus, the peoples of America have struggled to make sense of the capricious and violent nature of America's weather. Anasazi Indians used the rain dance (and sometimes human sacrifice) to induce rain, while the Puritans in New England blamed the sins of the community for lightening strikes and Nor'easters. IN modern times we carry on those traditions by blaming the weatherman for ruined weekends. Despite hi-tech satellites and powerful computers and 24-hour-a-day forecasting from The Weather Channel, we're still at the mercy of the whims of Mother Nature. Laskin recounts the many dramatic moments in American weather history, from the "Little Ice Age" to Ben Franklin's invention of the lightning rod to the Great Blizzard of the 1930's to the worries about global warming. Packed with fresh insights and wonderful lore and trivia, Braving the Elements is unique and essential reading for anyone who's ever asked, "What's it like outside?"

She's back and hotter than ever. Good thing this firefighting cowboy can handle the sparks. When country singer Fern Bryant returns to her cabin in Wildcat Hall Park, the last thing she expects to find is Craig Thorne in her home...asleep in her bed. The only bed. Once upon a time, Fern had big dreams, and chasing those dreams required sacrifices...and purchasing a battery-operated boyfriend as a substitute for Craig, the cowboy singer and firefighter she left behind. But now it turns out, Fern and Craig are the co-owners of her beloved Wildcat Hall Park. Craig hasn't seen Fern since she left Wildcat Bluff County—and him—to sing on a cruise ship. When she storms back into town, the sparks between the two aren't only rekindled but burn hotter than ever. Long days turn into long nights, and Craig is determined to make the most out of this second chance with Fern, and show her she belongs in Wildcat Bluff...and his arms. What people are saying about Kim Redford's Smokin' Hot Cowboys: "Delivers fiery passion with a country-western kick."—Publishers Weekly for A Very Cowboy Christmas "Redford reels you in with this hot-as-hell firefighting cowboy whose rekindled love ignites flames of passion.
