Not to mention Karma has been all up in her business ever since she took refuge in the cranky small town of Rocky Mountain Springs. To be fair, the town isn't cranky with everyone...just her.

And considering she no longer has buckets of money to instantly attract friends, she's having to make them the old fashion way...one Namaste at a time. Who knew moving to a town with a dispensary would be so full of lows.Dispensary owner, Mitch Johnson, had a rotten childhood. As soon as he was free of that life, he carefully crafted a plan that would mean never being homeless again. One box away from completing it, Bad Luck Luna blew into his town and blew up his blueprint. He's investigated all his options for repairing the laminated document, and the results are in. If she stays, he can't tick off that final box. One of them must leave. Lucky for him, no one in Rocky Mountain Springs wants it to be their pot guy.Full-length grumpy/sunshine small town romance with laugh-out-loud sexy goodness.

A fake date wasn't the craziest thing she'd ever done. But when she demanded a contract with benefits, he gave her skyrocket returns. By day, Wendy Travis is a stone-cold-accurate proofreader of contracts for individuals whose deeds bend toward the peculiar. By night, she's the out-of-date fashionista president of the Manhattan Knitters' Club. The club's motto: What happens at knit club stays at knit club!When the new upstairs neighbor interrupts her sleep with his nocturnal shenanigans, she's suddenly not so accurate in her job. With the backup of her knitting friends, she confronts Mr. Can't Keep It In His Pants.Land developer, Jackson Adler, is in the wrong place at the...right time. When a posse of tiara-wearing, needle-wielding misfits-including one very animated, very sexy, and slightly tipsy woman-mistake him for the tenant of Apartment 5C, he doesn't correct their error. Instead, he suggests a quid pro quo agreement. He'll pipe down if Wendy agrees to buy him at an upcoming bachelor-auction...on his dime of course.Wendy counters wither her own quid pro quo offer because she intends to find out if those late-night moans and squeals of pleasure are fake-or stone-cold accurate responses.Conventional? No. Worthwhile? Time will tell.

"An essential document of our time." -Charles D'Ambrosio, author of LoiteringIn search of answers and action, the award-winning poet and essayist Lisa Wells brings us Believers, introducing trailblazers and outliers from across the globe who have found radically new ways to live and reconnect to the Earth in the face of climate change We find ourselves at the end of the world. How, then, shall we live?Like most of us, Lisa Wells has spent years overwhelmed by increasingly urgent news of climate change on an apocalyptic scale. She did not need to be convinced of the stakes, but she could not find practical answers. She embarked on a pilgrimage, seeking wisdom and paths to action from outliers and visionaries, pragmatists and iconoclasts. Believers tracks through the lives of these people who are dedicated to repairing the earth and seemingly undaunted by the task ahead.Wells meets an itinerant gardener and misanthrope leading a group of nomadic activists in rewilding the American desert. She finds a group of environmentalist Christians practicing "watershed discipleship" in New Mexico and another group in Philadelphia turning the tools of violence into tools of farming-guns into ploughshares. She watches the world's greatest tracker teach others how to read a trail, and visits botanists who are restoring land overrun by invasive species and destructive humans. She talks with survivors of catastrophic wildfires in California as they try to rebuild in ways that acknowledge the fires will come again. Through empathic, critical portraits, Wells shows that these trailblazers are not so far beyond the rest of us. They have had the same realization, have accepted that we are living through a global catastrophe, but are trying to answer the next question: How do you make a life at the end of the world? Through this miraculous commingling of acceptance and activism, this focus on seeing clearly and moving forward, Wells is able to take the devastating news facing us all, every day, and inject a possibility of real hope. Believers demands transformation. It will change how you think about your own actions, about how you can still make an impact, and about how we might yet reckon with our inheritance.
