I'm in love with my best friend, but Jessica O'Connor sees me as only a friend. The fact that we had sex once, and it was bloody awful, doesn't help. But she finally ended her engagement with Domhnall Sterling, the Scot she took up with two years ago. Do I have a chance now? Maybe. If I can show her we have chemistry. The sort that will burn so hot she'll forget all about that damn Scot. Grey Dixon has been my best friend since college. He's sweet and smart, the kind of guy I would love to fall for. I love Grey, but not in that way. Well, probably not. If only we had sexual chemistry… When Jessica's ex turns up at my brother's wedding, all bets are off. I will do whatever it takes to stop her from going back to that kilt-wearing cretin. I'll even take advice from my brother, which might turn out to be my worst mistake yet. A wedding at a nudist resort? With her ex, my brother, and a horde of Scots? No, that doesn't sound like a disaster in the making at all. Brit Vs. Scot is a multi-series crossover book featuring characters from three bestselling worlds—Hot Brits, Hot Scots, and the Au Naturel Trilogy. Don't miss the battle of the century! Coming soon in audio featuring Shane East & Stella Hunter with a special appearance by Zachary Webber.

This book was released on 2011-07-06. Pale Blue Dot available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. “Fascinating . . . memorable . . . revealing . . . perhaps the best of Carl Sagan’s books.”—The Washington Post Book World (front page review) In Cosmos, the late astronomer Carl Sagan cast his gaze over the magnificent mystery of the Universe and made it accessible to millions of people around the world. Now in this stunning sequel, Carl Sagan completes his revolutionary journey through space and time. Future generations will look back on our epoch as the time when the human race finally broke into a radically new frontier—space. In Pale Blue Dot, Sagan traces the spellbinding history of our launch into the cosmos and assesses the future that looms before us as we move out into our own solar system and on to distant galaxies beyond. The exploration and eventual settlement of other worlds is neither a fantasy nor luxury, insists Sagan, but rather a necessary condition for the survival of the human race. “Takes readers far beyond Cosmos . . . Sagan sees humanity’s future in the stars.”—Chicago Tribune
Scotland's Northwest Frontier

Download and read online ebook Scotland's Northwest Frontier write by Alister Farquhar Matheson. This book was released on 2014-08-28. Scotland's Northwest Frontier available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The western coastal lands of the Northern Highlands are squeezed between the northern Hebrides and Drumalban, the mountainous spine of Highland Scotland. This is a region justly famed for some of the finest and most unspoilt scenery in the British Isles – but what happened here in times past? Scotland's Northwest Frontier provides the answer. For a long time, this area was a frontier zone between the medieval kingdoms of Norway and Scotland, and then between the Gaelic Lords of the Isles and the Scottish kings. In the 18th century, this remote seaboard was Britain’s ‘Afghanistan’, a dangerous region often beyond the control of London and Edinburgh. It was the last hiding place of Bonnie Prince Charlie before his escape to France after his Jacobite army had been crushed on Culloden Moor. A land of clans and lost causes, this is the story of powerful lords and warrior chiefs, Presbyterian soldiers of the Covenant and Hanoverian redcoats, Highland Clearances, road and railway builders, whisky smugglers and opium traders, from Viking times to the beginning of the 21st century. Scotland's Northwest Frontier is the entertaining story of what was for long a lawless region, followed through eight turbulent centuries. Backed by comprehensive appendices and glossary, this is one for the fireside, a travelling companion and an invaluable reference source for the bookshelf. Scotland's Northwest Frontier will appeal to those interested in Scottish history, and people who descend from Scottish clans and families.
