Bringing Down Romeo
Summary
Hide your girlfriends, hide your daughters. Tad Dawson, confirmed bachelor and runway model, has come back to the Black Hills for his brother's wedding. Also known as Romeo for his love-them-and-leave-them attitude, Tad has a reputation to lose and a woman to win. However, he won't be able to do it on his own, since the woman he wants would rather assault him with nail guns, power saws and rocks. Not what he expected when he turned on the charm. Megan could use a good dose of anger management, along with a shot from Cupid's bow, and lord knows she has a lot to be mad about when it comes to Romeo. Tad left her five years before, after she declared they were mates. Not only did she have to deal with a crazy Alpha, who got off on tossing her to the wolves, she's heard rumors Tad's appetite for anything with a skirt has grown since he left. Not that she could confirm it. He's hasn't called or written once. For Tad to win the love of his life, he's going to need some help, and the four pack matchmakers have decided they are just the wolves to assist, whether he wants their help or not. No tactic is too dirty or underhanded. Bringing down Romeo is going to take every trick in their match-maker's bag. Bagging the girl, well, that could be a bit trickier. Will the four matchmakers beat the nearly impossible odds, or will their tactics unravel at the seams? Before the wedding is over, someone is going down, and if the matrons have any say, it's going to be hard.

Gemini Joe: Memoirs of Brooklyn
Summary
“Crying isn't bad because it is God's way of washing away the pain. That's why we have teardrops.” - Gemini Joe The runt of the litter, Gemini Joe is no stranger to tears. His life is a story; following the Great Depression and his parents' struggle to provide for his family. Survival in his powerful, sometimes cruel family was not easy. Although he remembers with affection and occasional humor the holidays, his childhood friends, his mother and grandmother, his tough, bullying brothers and indifferent sister, his family was too much for him. He found acceptance in a bottle of scotch. He had health issues beginning at birth and compounded by an addiction to cigarettes from the age of seven. In the end, he managed to conquer his addictions, but was it too late? Gemini Joe's childhood memories inspire sorrow, anger, sympathy, horror, and amusement. As an adult, he inspires forgiveness for the mistakes he made in life and redeemed himself through his considerable talents as an artist, poet, and thinker.

Engine 24 Fire Stories 2
Summary
Every firefighter has a treasure trove of interesting stories to tell, and the stories more often than not are instructional, as well as exciting. When I was a firefighter, I kept notes of the fires I responded to. Now that I am retired, I have reflected on my career as a firefighter and have written a second book about the men alongside whom I worked, facing dangerous situations daily. This book is a compilation of eight short fire stories written between 1963 and 1972, from notes I wrote after returning from fires. The first story explores the emotions felt when reporting for duty for the first time - the same emotions felt by all firefighters throughout the world on their first day on the job. An inexplicable bond forms between men and women who face danger on a daily basis and who have been tested - and have passed the test. From the combat soldier, to the policeman and the firefighter - a bond of love and trust has formed that will last a lifetime.
