Wall Street Journal Best Selling memoir - Both volumes! This boxed set contains true stories from "[a]n extraordinary landscape populated with befuddled bears, hormonally-crazed elk, homicidal wild boars, hopelessly timid wolves, and nine million tourists, some of whom are clueless."

In Kim DeLozier's world, when sedated wild black bears wake up unexpectedly in the back seat of a helicopter in mid-flight, or in his car as he's driving down the highway, or in his office while he's talking on the phone, it's just another day in the park.

You'll love seeing Kim and a fellow ranger tested as they bravely take on the task of relocating 77 live skunks by sedating them with darts from homemade blowguns, especially when the pickup truck load of stinkers wakes up while still in transit.

An hilarious, heartwarming, and heartbreaking memoir by the chief wildlife ranger in the #1 most popular family vacation destination in the USA, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. For over thirty years, Kim DeLozier acted as a referee in the wild, trying to protect millions of park visitors from one of the densest populations of wild black bears in America -- and the bears from tourists who get too close.

All Charlotte Ross wanted was a get-away vacation. She wasn't counting on solving a centuries-old mystery or falling for a handsome aristocrat.

A young woman in her prime, Charlotte has become bored living in the small Illinois town where she grew up--and is tired of her controlling mother trying to marry her off to the oldest and wealthiest men in town. So when her mystery-loving friend Jane Marshall suggests a driving trip across England, Charlotte eagerly packs her bags. But Charlotte gets more than she bargained for. Just two days in, their car breaks down in a thunderstorm, and the women take refuge inside Blake Hall, an ancient aristocrat's lair with a long and rumored past. As guests of the British aristocracy, these out-of-place Americans stumble their way through a fox hunt, encounter imagined ghosts and discover a mysterious clue to a centuries-old murder that has remained unsolved--until now at least.

Influenced by the novels of Jane Austen, Agatha Christie and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Romancing a Mystery is smart, savvy and at times, warmly romantic.

Just when Jolie’s ready to leave the murder investigation to the police, she gets a surprise—and it’s not a good one. Will her need to know see her hurt—or worse?

Ainsley Waylon, people watcher extraordinaire, is stuck in a rut. She's taken all of her pre-requisite classes for her undergrad degree but can't seem to pick a career that she'd be happy with. To help her relax and take a step back from everything, her brother Harper books a cruise for the two of them.

When Ainsley and Harper meet meet Detective Joelle Matthias during breakfast one morning, Harper is thrilled that his sister is taking an interest in interacting with something besides a book. Though the two women hit it off immediately, the murder of another guest draws both of them into the center of the action.

With a ship full of suspects, Ainsley's eye for detail leads Joelle to ask for her help with the investigation, but can they follow the clues to solve the case before the ship docks and lets a murderer go free?

The infamous rake, Lord Richard Hamilton, has finally chosen his bride—the very appropriate Miss Emma Grey.
The ton approves, Lord Grey is pleased, Lady Grey delighted, and Emma is over the moon, but her uncle, (the blasted) Duke of Arden opposes the match, and Emma is ordered to move to the duke’s estate to think things over.
Richard Hamilton refuses to take things lying down and concocts a plan. A plan that should have brought the lovers together and had them married within a month. It was a simple matter of masquerading as the duke’s gardener, compromising the lady, and then having the duke rush them off to Gretna Green.
Alas, he underestimates the duke’s intelligence and the tangled situation on the estate—never had he imagined that compromising a lady could be so difficult.
His endeavours lead to a comedy of errors, charades, and knotty love affairs. Yet he forges ahead in spite of pesky house guests, a flea bitten mattress, his lovesick best friend, and a blackmailer.
Just when things seem to be going well, someone is murdered (very inconvenient), and he happens to be one of the suspects (extremely inconvenient).
His simple plan for winning the wager suddenly becomes … a tad complicated.

If you remember your first love, what it was like growing up in a small town where everyone knew your secrets, or the simpler times growing up in the seventies, you will find much to relate to in Both Sides Now.
