Showing results for "Utah" in Literature & Fiction

Colonel Utah Blaine, held captive by the Army of the Revolution, broke out of jail and headed north from Mexico with nothing but the clothes on his back. Then he found new trouble struggling at the end of a noose–and stepped in just in time to save the life of a Texas rancher. The would-be...

Where do you go when you die? If you guessed "a hellish videogame world where you're forced to fight for your life, solve puzzles, and sustain mortal injury only to be stitched back together to do it again", congratulations! Maybe that sounds kind of bad. But hear me out. Superpowers. Beautiful women at my side, some human and some decidedly not so much. And maybe, just maybe, if I survive long enough, I can find out what comes after the afterlife.

"Uthas bjerge og andre historier" udspiller sig i politiske og kulturelle brændpunkter rundt om i verden fra øst til vest: fra efterkrigstidens Danmark til Østeuropa efter murens fald, hvor kommunismen afløses af røverkapitalisme; fra Cambodjas Killing Fields og Malaysias multikulturelle samfund til bjergene i krigens Afghanistan - og i det billedskønne Utah, hvor katastrofen lurer i bjergenes skygge.

I have a certain set of rules I try to live by. Rules that have always served me well. Until now...Rule one: Don't have sex with someone you work with. Rule two: Don't have sex with your friend's ex-boyfriend. Rule three: Don't have sex with your best friend who also happens to be the same ex-boyfriend of your friend. Rule four: Don't ever, under any circumstances, fall in love with your best friend. I guess it's safe to say, I officially broke all four of my rules.

When Herschel Greenfield achieved his dream of becoming an astronaut and going on space missions, he thought he knew the risks—but he never expected his splashdown would go wrong and he'd nearly drown. He tells everyone he's fine, but if that's true, then why can't get into the ocean? Somehow, some way, he needs to conquer his fear so that he can continue going into space.

A singularly compelling debut novel, about a desert where people go to escape their past, and a truck driver who finds himself at risk when he falls in love with a mysterious woman. Ben Jones lives a quiet, hardscrabble life, working as a trucker on Route 117, a little-travelled road in a remote...

Erin Davenport always imagined she'd end up with a quiet man. Someone like her. Then she met Jay Malone. He's the loudest, pushiest, most sales-oriented man she's ever met. A top Hollywood agent, Jay's bought a waterfront house in Carmel, and everywhere Erin turns, he seems to be there, big, gorgeous, and pulsing with life. He seems to go through women like candy, but Erin has no intention of being his latest treat.

After finding my apartment ransacked for the third time, I'm done being stalked. I'm just some nameless orphan who's only trying to survive in this broken city. I shouldn't matter. I shouldn't be a target. I shouldn't have to live on the run. But here I am, trying to find a hideout when living beyond the city without a permit is punishable by death. I'm desperate. But I'm scrappy too, and soon I'm surviving off the land with only the rodents for company. Everything's fine. Until he shows up.

I'm "The Baby Maker". I give women what they want, no questions asked. And I get paid to do it. It's the easiest job in the world. No fuss, no mess, and I make a ton of money. It was perfect. Then my next client walked in, and everything went to hell. Elisha was the last person I expected to see. The girl that got away. Curves that could make a model jealous, and come-hither eyes that turn my muscles to mush. Her husband treats her like dirt. I'll treat her like the queen she is.

Ali Rain: Sometimes I think to myself, "How did I get here?" Then the pain hits and I remember...it's because she's gone. I now live in a new town, go to a new school, and I'm supposed to be moving on with my new life. Only, I no longer know who I am anymore. Dancing is all I have left and every day I feel completely alone. Silence has become the theme song to my life. She said to find some joy and light, but I don't know how. Mostly, I feel surrounded in darkness...that is, until I meet him.

Frank was never the save-the-world type. He joined his college's Jedi dueling club to impress a chick he was into, and only stayed because he was too embarrassed to quit. He’s the type to have a crush, but the closest he’s gotten to action lately is when he stumbles upon his roommate having a hot threesome. Damn, he'd love to feel what it's like to be that guy. Be careful what you wish for…Life takes an unexpected turn when Frank discovers his grandpa's secret and travels back in time.

Shonen's past in the infernal realms tortures him to this very day. The haunting memories have driven him to train in ninjutsu his entire life, seeking a way to defeat his cursed rival: the Shogun's heir. Now, an old enemy from his past appears and offers him a chance to finally settle the score with the heir once and for fall...in the ultimate duel.

The first time Wyatt Hutton's pale blue eyes meet mine, they steal my breath - even if I only see them for a second before he refuses to look at me again. He's older than me, by way too much, and if he had his way, our paths never would have crossed in the first place. But our fate was written in the stars and while the truth of our families should keep us apart, life keeps bringing us together again.

On the same day I lose my job, my house, and all hope for the future, I also lose my journal. And the worst part.... He found it. He read it. And...he commented. At the end of his message is an email address and a plea: Contact me. Please. I know better than to trust strangers with candy, but, after a tequila-fueled night, I create a new email address and do just that...and the man I discover is overflowing with kindness and humor and depth. Meanwhile, I meet Lucas Hutton - a Marine with scars covering his body, heart, and soul.

Refusing to yield to his father's will and expectations to one day take the reins of the family business, Sam McGregor leaves his home in Texas. Fate leads him to the small town of Polson, Montana, home to the Kings of Retribution MC, where he starts over and meets Sofia Torres.

Collin West isn't just hot. And he's not just "the next big thing," either. He's the biggest thing to happen to music since...music. He's got heart. And soul. And the most adorable ginger hair that's somehow always a little mussed. Add in his bangin' body and bedroom eyes and it's easy to see why the whole world loves him. And he wants me. Harlow Hutton. Not-so-secret lover of all things Collin West. He falls into my life like a fairy tale, whisking me away on a champagne and glitter adventure around the world. It's a dream come true. But every princess has a villain.

Moving in with Eli Hutton was supposed to keep my heart safe. After both our relationships crashed and burned, cohabitation seemed like a no-brainer. A reset from chaos back to stability. A chance to protect one another from Cupid and his stupid little arrows. Sure, he's adorable...Hilarious...Gorgeous...And so charming he makes me feel like the brightest star in the sky...Alright, fine. The man is a sinfully sexy angel sent to tempt me each and every day. (Don't judge. No one can resist him. You'll see.)

Mayhem: Mayhem. I bring it. I own it. Then I walk away and leave you to clean up the mess. That's the way I've always lived. For me, there is no other way. This is who I am. With all of this world comes death. I've experienced it firsthand and it ruined me. Then Taylor was thrust into my world. She was everything I should have stayed away from. Too bad I don't follow directions.
