JAG Officer Joe Matthews can't afford a scandal when he comes home to run for political office. So finally admitting his feelings for his free-spirited childhood crush is probably not gonna be good for his image. For years, Joe Matthews has tried to convince his heart that it was illogical to pine for his childhood best friend. Foxy James was the most impractical, irrational, incongruous, beautiful, bold, bright… wait, where was he going with this? Joe's current trajectory is to become the county District Attorney, where he'll be able to help keep the scales of justice in balance and help protect foster kids like him. Professing his feelings for his psychic best friend would certainly tip the scales out of balance. As a clairsentient, Foxy James knows with a certainty that her one true love will show up…one day…eventually. Okay, so her abilities are not an exact science. To pass the time while she waits for him, Foxy has decided to dedicate her life to helping kids in foster care. When she gets a feeling that a foster kid is in trouble, she enlists the help of her childhood best friend to help her save the day. Joe should definitely not allow himself to be pulled into another one of Foxy's harebrained schemes based on the tingling in her tummy when he's so close to a political appointment. But the thought of the woman he loves placing herself in harm's way is enough to convince Joe to slay an imaginary dragon for her. Joe has always been Foxy's hero, but when she gets a flash that he's also her one true love, she's floored. And then annoyed it took him so long to reveal himself to her. But mostly thrilled that her gut got one right and fate brought her the perfect man after all. Only once they claim their love, both of Joe's and Foxy's futures are in jeopardy. When Foxy comes face to face with a very real villain that threatens the livelihoods of the vulnerable foster children she's sworn to care for, will her word hold any sway for the town to believe her this time? And if Joe makes his relationship with the town psychic public, he just may lose their vote of confidence? Can a fated love that's waited an eternity to be revealed stand strong in the light of reality? Find out in His Vow to Treasure, the second in a series of heartwarming stories that prove that falling in love is an act of heroism, but finding family is life's most extraordinary achievement.

In 1963 a collection of fifty-seven silver vessels was discovered during illegal excavations by villagers in Antalya Province, Turkey. The Sion Treasure, named after the inscription ‘Holy Sion’ on several vessels in the hoard, is now divided between five collections: Antalya Museum (Turkey), Dumbarton Oaks (United States), a private collection in Geneva, the Digby-Jones collection and Hewett collection (United Kingdom). This book builds on the studies of the Sion Treasure and examines questions regarding silver mining, manufacture, and the economic and cultural role of the silver vessels. It considers the treasure using the concept of the cultural biography of objects. The vessels from the Sion Treasure have not previously been considered in this context and the book highlights the fact that the value and significance of the objects at the time they were created does not lie exclusively in their visual characteristics and aesthetics since their relationship to, and with, people is also significant. While their functionality lends them one life story, another biography is gained through their users: the producers, patrons, and individuals within the church, not only the clergy, who engaged with the objects. The Sion Treasure Reconsidered will appeal to students and scholars alike interested in Byzantine cultural and material history and medieval material history in general.

Saylor Silver has a magic touch when it comes to healing abused horses. But when a disabled soldier reaches out to her, will she allow him to rein in her heart? Veterinarian Saylor Silver can sense an animal's illness with just a look or a touch. Too bad she's not known for taking as good of care of herself, and neither is her wayward boyfriend who is known as the town flirt. But if Saylor learned anything from her parents' multiple remarriages, it’s to never give up on your first love. No matter how much love hurts. Jefferson Moore’s arm is still numb after an injury on his last military mission. But he’s filled with feeling the first time Saylor touches him. He’s on the Silver Star Ranch to keep a promise to his general, Saylor’s late father. In order to save the ranch, each of the six Silver sisters must marry. Jeff would leap at the chance to marry Saylor, if only she’d drop her deceitful boyfriend. When Saylor catches her boyfriend cheating—yet again—her dreams of a future together wither. She agrees to a marriage of convenience with the kindhearted soldier Jeff in order to save her family's ranch. But after years of neglect and mistreatment, she’s not sure what to do with a man who treats her with care and kindness. Jeff pretends he’s just honoring the terms of their deal, but the truth is he's fallen hard for Saylor. When the conniving boyfriend returns begging for another chance, will Jeff admit to his true feelings or risk losing the woman he wants to cherish? Find out if love can truly heal all wounds in this light-hearted, sweet romance of convenient arrangements that unfold into lasting love. His Pledge to Cherish is the second in a series of marriage of convenience tales featuring Wounded Warriors who are healed with the power of love.

This exciting resource on desert spirituality is quite unlike any other: at once a physical journey to outstanding deserts of the planet and an odyssey of the soul. A journey of discovery takes us across five continents as we venture to places few pilgrims reach: the Gazan desert, the Sahara, the Australian outback, the Athos wilderness and the Ordos Desert of China, and the Syrian desert, among others. Evocative descriptions by early travelers and by the author immerse us into a diversity of wilderness landscapes, stimulating the senses and the imagination. Physicality leads to spirituality as we listen to compelling voices that speak to us poignantly across space and time--including spiritual writers long-forgotten or not well-known. These unearth for us the treasure we seek: we uncover the distinctive charism of each desert, offering us different and challenging ways of looking at the world and at the spiritual life. We discover the unpredictable desert to contain unexpected, priceless treasures of transformative wisdom that speak uncannily into our own contemporary spiritual search. We see how these gems can energize and inspire our discipleship or spiritual practice. As we embark on this spiritual quest, we may never be the same again!
