I came to his ranch to escape my life. He's decided I'm never leaving. Burned out and desperate for peace, I rent a cabin on a Montana cattle ranch. I'm not looking for anything but silence and sleep. I'm definitely not looking for the gruff, silver-templed rancher who keeps showing up at my door with firewood I didn't ask for and that intense look in his eyes.

Possessive. Looks at my curves like I'm the ...

I ordered a new life. I didn’t expect it to come with a beard and an attitude. The listing said “mountain homestead, strong partner needed.” It didn’t mention the outhouse, the lack of Wi-Fi, or the six-foot-three wall of flannel and silence. Caleb Rourke doesn’t talk. Doesn’t smile. Doesn’t seem to want a wife at all, despite what he told the matchmaker. Fine. I didn’t come to Blackstone Ridge to be wanted. I came because I’d burned my old life to the ground, and this was the only door still open. But I don’t quit. Not when the mornings are freezing. Not when he watches...

The Maya did not vanish. Their cities did. Around 750 CE, the Classic Maya world was at its height. Tikal, Calakmul, Palenque, Copán, and Caracol commanded populations in the tens of thousands. Divine kings tracked the planets with an accuracy Europe would not match for seven centuries, waged dynastic wars across the jungle, and raised limestone pyramids that still rise above the canopy today. Within 150 years, almost all of it was gone. The courts emptied. The inscriptions stopped. The rainforest moved back in. This is the story of how that happened — and why eight million Maya people ...

As a high-powered environmental lawyer, I’m used to wielding cease-and-desist orders like weapons. This trip to Colorado was supposed to be quick and bloodless: serve papers to Cruz Construction, shut them down, and catch my flight back to the city. Then I meet Dane Cruz. Six-foot-four of raw muscle, golden skin, and work-roughened hands that know how to build more than just homes. He’s supposed to be the villain in my legal brief, but he sees ...

I got lost in the mountains. He found me. One wrong turn. That's all it took. Now my car is buried in snow, my phone is dead, and the only shelter for miles belongs to a growling giant who looks at me like I'm the first woman he's seen in years. Boone Callahan doesn't do company. Doesn't do conversation. Doesn't do soft. But when he carries me through the blizzard and locks us inside his cabin, something shifts. His hands are rough. His voice is gruff. And the way he watches me peel off my wet clothes makes me forget I'm supposed to be scared. Three days until the roads clear. One bed. And ...

Travel back to a thousand years before the Aztecs, when volcanos obliterated cities, impelling the survivors to find a place of safety.

But what if that legend is a comfortable simplification of a much darker and more fascinating truth?
