Apparently she's not so good at figuring them out, so she refuses to bother. Josephine knows it is safer to stay in the kitchen than to take another chance with her heart.

But when the offer of a lifetime comes in from an arrogant idiot she's spent the last decade dreaming about pushing in the way of a moving bus, Jasmine might have to reconsider everything.

“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately.” And so it began. Henry David Thoreau, at 27, built a tiny, one-room cabin in the woods — on land owned by his friend, Ralph Waldo Emerson — and began his two-year experiment in frugality on the shore of Walden Pond. He wasn’t seeking isolation so much as simplicity, to “live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms.”

According to Grant Holiday, there are two kinds of people in the world: those who follow the rules and those who should stay the heck out of his forest. So when I wake up with the sexy forest ranger scowling down at me for not paying for the tiny bit of forest where I spent the night, it’s clear which kind of person he thinks I am. Grant insists on making me pay even though it’s his day off and I don’t have a cent to my name. When I get lost in the woods and Grant saves my life, I joke that our souls are now forever bonded. He doesn’t laugh. It’s not apparent he has a sense of ...

One last job. But Balum didn't want it. He was done being a US Deputy Marshal; done with the stress, the responsibility, and tired of getting shot at. All he wanted was to spend his money on gambling, whiskey, and women. He most certainly has no desire to grant Cafferty's final request. Babysitting a bunch of Eastern dandies across the plains to Oregon held no allure whatsoever. But when Balum finds out who is leading the expedition, and the fate of its members, he reconsiders. At least that's the reason he tells himself. It doesn't hurt that amongst the settlers are two of the most ...
