But Charlie wasn't lighting fires alone: he had an accomplice - his girlfriend, Tonya Bundick. Through her depiction of the dangerous shift that happened in their passionate relationship, Hesse brilliantly brings to life the once-thriving coastal community and its distressed inhabitants.

He’d made mistakes...more than a few and probably didn’t deserve the second chance he’d been given. But he was going to do everything he could to prove himself worthy of it. Ray didn’t have a single doubt that a number of individuals were wondering where he’d disappeared to. With luck it would stay that way...but if it didn’t he probably wouldn’t be around to worry about it.

I knew Freddy Maver was trouble the moment he turned around at my fence line. Dark eyes. Broad shoulders. The kind of mouth that makes a woman forget she's supposed to be threatening someone. I should have kept the rifle up. I didn't. Now he's in my bed, in my kitchen, in every corner of my carefully controlled life, taking me apart with his hands and his mouth and that low patient voice that says my name like he's been saying it his whole life. He knows exactly what I need before I ask. He gives it to me anyway. Hard. Deep. Until I'm shaking and saying things I can't take back. He's ...

Property lines carved into ash. Someone is using fire to redraw ownership. As longtime residents are pressured into selling and federal consolidation quietly accelerates, Rourke uncovers a familiar name buried in pre-fire land assessments — a contractor who signed off on a mission years ago....

More Land Buying Tips is just that...more! The original Land Buying Tips book was popular, so we did it again with different contributors and topics. Rural real estate - land - is a unique niche. In our land-related books we speak directly to the specific issues that apply to all types of rural real estate like farms, ranches, timber tracts, recreational tracts, and wooded parcels that can be developed into home sites or camps and retreats. The contributors in this book - like the first book - are the real deal.

For three years Meyer rented a home in the rice-farming community of Wasteland, hometown of his wife's family, and their personal saga mirrors the tremendous change most of rural China is undergoing in the form of a privately held rice company that has built new roads, introduced organic farming, and constructed high-rise apartments into which farmers can move in exchange for their land rights.

Private landowners all over the country build roads to and into their own property.
