I hurt myself pretty bad. Last night I was in so much pain I couldn’t sleep. My knee was in such hot pain that I couldn’t find a position that was comfortable to lay in. I took some Tylenol to see if that would ease the pain a bit, and it did, until I woke up again at 2:30. UGH! Now ask me how I did it. I have no clue. Not a single clue. There was no point in the last two days where I did anything that would injure me. Is this what getting old looks like? Your body parts just randomly breaking? What a rude thing to do. Unfortunately for my knee this will not stop me from doing everything I need to get done today. I will just do it with a limp and a bad attitude. Oh wow. That’s sounds just like my grumpy old neighbor from my childhood. NOW HE MAKES SENSE!

(2,659 Reviews)
FREE for a limited time
Their wedding was the event of the season…
A shy wallflower, Caroline hasn’t the faintest idea why the Duke of Readington chose her to be his bride. She could ask, but that would mean speaking to him… and truth be told she’d rather have a conversation with the devil. Her new husband may be one of the most powerful men in all of England – not to mention the handsomest – but he’s also cruel, callous, and has a heart colder than ice.
But it was never meant to be a love match…
Eric married Caroline for one simple reason: he wasn’t in love with her. Having seen firsthand how love can bring a man to his knees, he’s determined not to make the same mistakes his father did. Which is why he’s going to spend just enough time with his new bride to assure himself of an heir before he leaves her and returns to London. At least that was the plan until a winter storm leaves them stranded. Now every time Eric turns around he finds himself stumbling over the wife he never wanted… but is slowly beginning to desire.
… or was it?
As cold winds howl outside the manor, inside of it a duke’s heart is finally starting to melt as he finds himself falling for the one woman he was never supposed to love… but can she love him in return?

In the heart of the American wilderness, courage was their only weapon — and loyalty their greatest bond.
In The Last of the Mohicans, James Fenimore Cooper brings to life one of the most powerful and enduring adventures in American literature — a story of war, love, and the clash between two worlds.
