The Spare (Leisure Historical Romance) by Carolyn JewelLeisure BooksOlivia Willow is missing a day from her life and now the new Earl of Teirn-Cope suspects she had a hand in his brother's death.
"A conflict, supported by an alpha hero and strong-willed heroine and entangled with a mystery, turns Jewel's tale into a delightful battle-of-wills romance, tinged with suspense. Jewel handles complex plotting with ease and creates a compelling story and characters that captivate." Kathe Robin, Romantic Times
:It was so enjoyable to see that obsession grow and morph Sebastian. When the story begins he is an entirely self-sufficient military man focused on his career and indifferent to women. He needs a wife, yes, but for dynastic purposes only. When Olivia crosses his path, he sees her bright red hair and forthright ways and assumes she is both easy and prey. That she is neither is a realization that creeps up on him." Rachel Potter, Likes Books
Olivia faced the portrait again, absorbing the austere face. “Cold, those eyes,” she said, thinking how different he seemed from Andrew. “As if he had no heart at all.” A rather harsh opinion to hold of the man she used to imagine would fall helplessly in love with her. Not that she ever believed he would. Valorous sea captains might fall in love with redheaded spinsters, but, alas, noblemen did not. “Miss Willow,” said Julia Cage. “We find him dreadfully handsome. Even if he were not a hero, all we ladies would think him quite the gallant. If you were still in your youth, I’m sure you’d feel the same.” “Certainly,” she said. “You see, Miss Willow?” Fitzalan said. “Not cold. Just stern. Don’t you agree? As an officer must be.” Olivia spoke softly. “Tell me, Lord Fitzalan, were you well acquainted with the previous earl?” “He stopped coming to London two or three years ago, but before that we saw each other now and again.” “Since you have known them both, what is your opinion of him?” From the corner of her eye, she saw Miss Cage watching and listening intently. The subject of Tiern-Cope fascinated everyone. “Captain Alexander, or, I should say, Lord Tiern-Cope, may not have his brother’s charm, but do not discount him on that score. He is—” Fitzalan tipped his head to one side, searching for the correct word “—formidable.” Diana gasped. “He’s been disfigured, hasn’t he?” The room fell silent. “James?” Diana sat straight. One hand drifted to her bosom, and eyes big as sixpence fixed on her brother, pleading for a denial. “Maimed in the war,” she said. “And ashamed to show his ruined face.” A collective gasp came from the ladies. Were all their hopes, then, to be pinned not on an earl by all accounts eager to take a wife, but on a viscount who’d so far proved immune to marriage-minded ladies? Fitzalan’s smile faded. “Surely, ladies, the allure of nobility and wealth will overcome the impact of any infirmities?” “He is disfigured.” Diana closed her eyes. When she opened them, they glistened with tears. “How badly has he been scarred? Tell me, James. Please, I must know.” “Nonsense, Miss Royce,” Olivia said. “He was wounded in the chest. On the side, just here.” Fitzalan said, “Who told you that?” The pile of coals in the fireplace tumbled down with a hiss and a flare of light. But that wasn’t what made Olivia look away from the viscount. She looked away because the salon door swung open with a faint whoosh of air over the Chinese carpet, and the earl of Tiern-Cope walked in.

ParkerPutnam AdultBoston P.I. Sunny Randall joins forces with the most important man in her life-her father-to crack a thirty-year-old case. Hi Phil, You miss me? I got bored, so I thought I'd reestablish our relationship. Give us both something to do in our later years. Stay tuned. Spare Change When a serial murderer dubbed "The Spare Change Killer" by the Boston press surfaces after three decades in hiding, the police immediately seek out the cop, now retired, who headed the original task force: Phil Randall. As a sharp-eyed investigator and a doting parent ("You're smart. You're tough. You, too, are a paradigm of law enforcement perfection, and you're my kid"), Phil calls on his daughter, Sunny, to help catch the criminal who eluded him so many years before. Sunny is certain that she's found her man after interviewing just a handful of suspects. Though she has no evidence against Bob Johnson, she trusts her intuition. And she knows the power she has over him-she can feel the skittishness and sexual tension that he radiates when he's around her-but persuading her father and the rest of the task force is a different story. When the killer strikes a second and third time, the murders take a macabre turn, as the victims each eerily resemble Sunny. While her father pressures her to drop the case, Sunny's need to create a trap to nab her killer grows. In a compelling game of cat-and-mouse, Sunny uses all her skills to draw out her prey, realizing too late that she's setting herself up to become the next victim. Finding Money: over 400 places to find spare cash in your life by J GodseyCreateSpaceA compendium of money-saving and money earning tips that are often overlooked.Tips for household, office, family and personal money saving in today's depressed economy. Spare Change by Bette Lee CrosbyBent Pine PublishingA Woman who is Superstitious to the Core... A Boy who claims his Parents are Dead... A Murderer who wants to Silence the Truth of What Happened. Olivia Westerly knows what she knows--opals mean disaster, eleven is the unluckiest number on earth and children weigh a woman down like a pocketful of stones. That's why she's avoided marriage for almost forty years. But when Charlie Doyle happened along, he was simply too wonderful to resist. Now she's a widow with an eleven-year-old boy claiming to be her grandson. Winner of a Royal Palm Literary Award...Spare Change is a quirky mix of Southern flair, serious thoughts about the important things in life, the madcap adventures of a young boy and a late change of heart that makes all the difference in an unusually independent woman. More than anything, it is a heartwarming book which is simultaneously intriguing and just plain fun. Seattle Post Intelligence Like a moth to a flame...Crosby deftly brings out Southern culture through the narrative voice and her use of language and imagery...reminiscent of John Grisham's The Client, with boy who is the only witness to his parent's murder. The Uncustomary Book Review With a foul mouth, dark secrets and heavily guarded emotions, Ethan Allen Doyle is not an easy child to like. He was counting on the grandpa he'd never met for a place to hide, but now that plan is shot to blazes because the grandpa's dead too. He's got seven dollars and twenty-six cents, his mama's will for staying alive, and Dog. But none of those things are gonna help if Scooter Cobb finds him. Sure to tug at your heartstrings...Jaxlane, NJ Love, loss and unexpected gifts...Told from multiple points of view, this tale seeped from the pages and wrapped itself around my heart. Kimba, The Caffeinated Book Reviewer Heartwarming story about a strong woman who learns life's greatest joys often come in the form of the very thing we reject. Book Pleasures Rapidly Unraveling Mystery, enjoyable storyline, lively dialogue. Every Character is well-defined and believable. Reader Views A Brilliant, light-hearted read. Alle Wells, author, Railroad Man Bette Lee Crosby has the unique ability to write characters who will absolutely melt your heart. Goodreads Reviewer, Sisterhood of the Traveling Book A Feel-Good Must Read...The way SPARE CHANGE is written is so totally engrossing it was hard to put down. Turn your phone off; get yourself a big cup of hot chocolate, a soft comfy blanket and an overstuffed chair. I absolutely recommend this one. So, what are you waiting for? Michele Kerr, Goodreads reviewer Only two people know the truth of what happened the night Ethan Allen's parents were murdered--the boy isn't talking and somebody wants to make sure he never does. The only one who can stop this from happening is Olivia. In Spare Change, Crosby's characters and down home humor come together in a story of love, murder and mystery that takes readers on the delightful journey of a lifetime. Sunny Serafino, author, A Grandma for Christmas and Forgiven Wonderfully written and so true to life... so well-written you feel as if you are reading an autobiography. Tamara, Scottsdale, Fantastic characters and story flow... Even though this was a murder mystery, it was an emotional story filled with romance and friendship. Looking for more books by this author.

Spare the Child: The Religious Roots of Punishment and the Psychological Impact of Physical Abuse by Philip J. GrevenVintageHe that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes. These words provided generations of American Christians with the justification for physically disciplining their children, in ways that range from spankings to brutal beatings. This learned and deeply disturbing work of history examines both the religious roots of corporal punishment in America and its consequences -- in the minds of children, in adults, and in our national tendencies toward authoritarian and apocalyptic thinking. Drawing on sources as old as Cotton Mather and as current as today's headlines, Spare the Child is one of those rare works of scholarship that have the power to change our lives. This is a richly researched, acutely unsettling study of corporal punishment in the United States. It focuses on the "Christian" use of Biblical texts to justify corporal punishment and its destructive legacy in our culture. Greven's insightful scholarship traces rationales for parental brutality through generations of religious apocalyptic thinking. His forceful argument takes the issue of physical discipline from the realm of parental rights and tradition and makes finding an alternative a moral responsibility.
