Miranda Montgomery is a widowed mystery writer whose book, ’Til Death do We Part, was published shortly before her husband’s murder. She finds solace only in her young son, Jared, and in her writing. Miranda begins to receive prank phone calls that lead to a series of terrifying events that risk her life and she realizes that someone is re-enacting her book, chapter by chapter, with her as the heroine. Miranda flees with her son to the Canadian Rocky Mountains for sanctuary, but instead, she finds Connor Taggert as her unlikely landlord, and a man as dangerous to her heart as her stalker is to her life.
"More than 75,000 people come to Hawk Mountain each year to experience its majesty, particularly on the mountain's breathtaking North Lookout. That wonderment is captured here in a book that combines new reporting with classic descriptions and a treasury of photographs of the winged visitors that soar by this place in huge numbers. Based on two years of research and reporting, Hawk Mountain describes the wonders of raptors and their migration, showcases the site throughout the year, and offers chapters from celebrated books from the mountain's past, including Hawks Aloft, by the sanctuary's first curator, Maurice Broun. Hawk Mountain also features two illustrations by the noted nature artist Fred Wetzel, who has been associated with the sanctuary for more than 50 years." --Excerpted from book jacket.
Highland Sanctuary unravels the complex interactions among agriculture, herding, forestry, the colonial state, and the landscape itself. Conte's study illuminates the debate over conservation, arguing that contingency and chance, the stuff of human history, have shaped forests in ways that rival the power of nature.
A Fresh Start Sometimes Stella Forsythe's shaky faith held her back and made her doubt herself…and second chances. Stella ran a B&B in rural Arkansas. That and raising her precious son alone kept her busy. She wasn't looking for romance—then a stranger came to town. The rustic inn was the perfect getaway for world-weary cop Adam Callahan. And when he discovered its beautiful owner in distress, he offered his services as Good Samaritan. Everyone needed a helping hand. With a little prayer he hoped they could find solace in their budding love and realize the sanctuary of God's loving arms.
For years the rocky north-facing slope of Hawk Mountain in eastern Pennsylvania attracted scores of hunters who would shoot hawks, falcons, and eagles out of the sky. In 1934, Maurice Broun came to Hawk Mountain to establish the world's first sanctuary for birds of prey. Today, the mountain's famous lookout attracts thousands of birders, nature-lovers, and scientists to marvel at the river of raptors that annually comes streaming by. The story of how Hawk Mountain went from hunting hotspot to a thriving research centre with an important role in raptor conservation is told in vivid prose.
"This book explores the complex processes and features of mountain environments: glaciers, snow and avalanches, landforms, weather and climate, vegetation, soils, and wildlife.

THE NEW AWARD-WINNING INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER BY THE AUTHOR OF THE MOUNTAIN "Can be compared (with no fear of hyperbole) to Stephen King and Jo Nesbø" - Massimo Vincenz, La Repubblica. "D'Andrea piles on the action and the atmosphere with the panache of a seasoned writer" Marcel Berlins, The Times. Marlene Wegener is on the run. She has stolen something from her husband, something priceless, irreplaceable. But she doesn't get very far. When her car veers off a bleak midwinter road she takes refuge in the remote home of Simon Keller, a tough mountain man who lives alone with his demons. Here in her high mountain sanctuary, she begins to rekindle a sense of herself: tough, capable, no longer the trophy on a gangster's arm. But Herr Wegener does not know how to forgive, and in his rage he makes a pact with the devil. The Trusted Man. He cannot be called off, he cannot be reasoned with and one way or another he will get the job done. Unless, of course, he's beaten to it . . .
