With her blankly staring eyes seeming to gaze into the sky, he put a red rose between her teeth and then gently pushed her into the water. She slowly sank into the slow, flowing river. No one ever found her body, and as the years passed, her real name could not be remembered, so she was called The Wild Rose.

LOVE AND OTHER HAZARDS
GLENDA FIELDSTON is at the Metropolitan Museum of Art with her seven-year-old daughter, ASTRID, who is inspecting the anatomically correct parts of a male statue. Glenda considers this an appropriate learning experience since Astrid, whose father is an anonymous sperm donor, has never seen a nude male. EUGENE LERMAN is walking by at a distance with his eight-year-old daughter, MEREDITH, a schoolmate of Astrid’s. Meredith spots Astrid and is grossed out. Eugene has a prudish twinge. Glenda and Eugene, who have never met, engage in long-range cursory assessments, and the families go their separate ways.
But not for long. Glenda, a consultant at a computer firm, is scheduled to upgrade the computer system of a medical publishing company, where Eugene, she discovers, is an editor. In the course of analyzing the system, Glenda uncovers signs of fraudulent activity and is charged with the task of finding its source. The process takes an extended period of time and brings Glenda and Eugene into close association.
So begins a friendship fraught with complications. Glenda’s independence is self-imposed and fierce. Eugene’s was foisted on him by a wife who left him. Although Glenda’s and Eugene’s personal demons are incompatible, their longings are, confoundedly, in harmony. Their cautious friendship is further inhibited by past and present relationships, and it remains to be seen if they can break out of their set ways—and mind-sets—to make a break for uncharted love.

BALI IS MAGICAL! - beautiful, quiet, relaxed, joyful and inspiring…
That is if you get away from the tourist crowds in the South and begin to explore the "real" Bali and her wonders….
This Smash hit #1 Bestseller that beat out "Lonely Planet" and "Eat, Pray, Love" and is continuously listed in the "Most wished for" lists for Bali books will take you on a tour around the island to explore the quiet, magical parts of Bali, far away from the tourist crowds.
A Quick Guide…
Zen Traveller BALI is a quick guide, not an in-depth 500 page travel guide book a la Lonely Planet, Fodors and Frommers. It does not contain extensive lists of tour companies or accommodations for each area, tough a few are mentioned throughout the book based on the personal experiences of the author.
Instead, this Bali guide from the Zen Traveller series by bestselling travel writer and Top 100 Business Author Gundi Gabrielle, is a charming, fun 2-hour read that will show you what's where and how to best plan your trip.
Zen Traveller Bali will give you a good overview over the different regions with things to do along the way, practical logistical information and tips on where to get away from it all....
Exploring the “Real” Bali
The South East around Candidasa and the diving paradise of Amed. The sleepy fishing villages along the East Coast with lush palm tree vegetation. You become relaxed just looking at it....
The North Coast with many little gems to visit and a gorgeous countryside, incl. a pearl farm that employs only women, an award winning coral restoration project recognized by the United Nations, a winery, turtle and bee conservation projects and so much more....
The West Bali National Park inviting to hiking, kayaking, and the remote diving/snorkeling island of Menjangan. A bird watcher's paradise, lush with wildlife and unusual fauna.
The rugged West Coast, a surfer's paradise, with quiet, chill villages like Medewi - the way Bali used to be before tourism overran the South.
And, of course, the spectacular volcanic mountain ranges in the Inland regions with massive lakes, luscious rain forest and gorgeous rice terraces - absolutely breath taking!
Bali Indonesia will Enchant you
Wherever you go, Bali will enchant and inspire you with stunning vistas, soaring heights, and a vibe just quiet and relaxed - to get away from it all....
Sadly most visitors never get to see that side of Bali and instead spend all their time on overcrowded beaches, parties and shopping malls in the South - Kuta, Seminyak or Sanur.
If you want to see the "real" Bali and all her magnificent wonders, this book will be for you.
Zen Traveller BALI covers logistical and planning help, so you know what to expect on your first visit to Bali. Communication, visa, currency/banking, accommodation, transportation, wifi/mobile usage and much more will be covered in Chapter 1.
Next follows Ubud, the cultural centre of Bali, and still charming and lovely, despite heavy tourism influx.
Want to know where experienced Bali travelers go instead? - Ubud without the crowds? - or where you can find an organic restaurant in the midst of rice fields with beautiful views and healthy, delicious food? The book will tell you.
From Ubud we travel around the East and North coast and inland into the mountains - even into Java for the great volcanoes.

Trace and Eva's story:
My name is Eva Morales, and I was one step away from being homeless when Trace Walker came into my life. I want to hate him because of my past, but I end up making what I consider a "devil's bargain" with the arrogant young billionaire instead. Really, I have no choice. It's either take the work he's offering or starve, and I've been hungry long enough.
I didn't think being his fake fiancee for the holidays would be a difficult job, but it ends up more complicated than I ever imagined, and I see a whole new side of Trace once he lets his guard down. He's haunted by his past--just like me, But there are things I can never tell him, secrets I don't dare reveal.
Eventually, I find myself in a difficult situation because our volatile attraction to each other won't be denied. Should I tell him the truth, or do I finish the job he's paying me for and walk away with my secrets still hidden, my pride still intact? He's paying me enough for this job to take care of myself once it's over. I've always been alone, and I always thought I preferred it...until I met Trace. I'd have to put everything on the line to be honest with him, but he very well might be the first man who is worth the risk. Honestly, I'd be endangering more than just my pride. I could handle feeling like a loser, because I've pretty much felt that way my entire life. What really terrifies me is being vulnerable and the possibility of ending up with a shattered heart....

Montgomery Lawrence and his wife Kathryn had enjoyed a whirlwind courtship and marriage, which many had nicknamed "The Prince and the Commoner". But now the one-time Hollywood icon and successful businessman is dead, and those closest to him are left to mourn him in shock.
His friends and family gather at his wake and remember him. They know that Monte’s public face and private one were not the same. His fondness for Scotch had all but destroyed his 20-year marriage to Kathryn and he had become mean-tempered and verbally abusive, although never violent.
Kathryn’s faith in God and that fact she felt she had to honor the marriage vows in both good and bad times kept her with Monte longer than she should have stayed. Her walking out on him unleashed a vortex of emotion and events that changed the course of her marriage and her life.
Russ, his business partner and best friend, also harbors a secret. He is in love with Kathryn, but now that the door is open he is hesitant. The time isn’t right. It’s too soon. He knows that he needs to be patient and be there for Kathryn and Grayson.
Meanwhile Kathryn’s house keeper and confidant, Anna, has guessed that Russ is in love with Kathryn. Can she keep his secret or will she let it slip? She has a secret of her own to confide when the time is right.
And what of Grayson, Monte and Kathryn’s son, who is a freshman at Ohio State University? Gray and his father were close. How will he deal with the loss of his father? Will he turn to alcohol or something equally as addictive? Or will he grow up faster because of it?
Now each of them must deal with the aftermath of Monte's death and what it means for their lives now.
