As an IT disaster recovery specialist, Tess has always handled challenges on her own, but this calls for serious geek backup.

Max Hampshire, a brilliant hacker, is exactly the lifeline Tess needs.

But safety isn’t an option when love gets involved.

Food Allergy Cooking

Learn to soothe your stomach with this cookbook featuring one hundred delicious recipes designed for those with IBS and other digestive difficulties.

For people who suffer from IBS, Crohn’s Disease, and Colitis, eating well can feel nearly impossible. Many of the troubles they experience stem from carbohydrates known as FODMAPs, which are not absorbed properly by the lower intestine. Once these carbohydrates reach the large intestine, they cause many uncomfortable symptoms such as gas, bloating, and pain.

While the list of forbidden foods is extensive, The Low-FODMAP Cookbook successfully avoids them all to create deliciously healthy recipes. The book includes a low-FODMAP eating plan that explains in detail which foods are not allowed and why. The recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks are so simple and delicious, they’ll appeal to the whole family!

Ketogenic Cookbooks

Since its publication over 15 years ago, 500 Low-Carb Recipes has become a classic in the low-carb community, earning author Dana Carpender the affectionate moniker “low-carb queen” from her fans. The book is now a bestseller, with over half a million copies sold.

Low-carb cooking has evolved. A decade ago, low-carb menus relied on ingredients like artificial sweeteners, unhealthy vegetable oils, protein additives, and processed foods from grocery store shelves, like low-carb branded snack bars and packaged meals. Today’s low-carb cooking is influenced by larger food movements, such as clean eating; farm-to-table ingredients; higher fat ratios, thanks to the popularity of ketogenic diets; and less stigmatization of foods that have substantial inclusion in a low-carb diet, namely animal foods and saturated fat due to the growth of the Paleo and traditional foods movements. The New 500 Low-Carb Recipes is the beloved cookbook updated for today’s low-carb movement.

British & Irish Literary Fiction

Wild Decembers charts the quick and critical demise of relations between Joseph Brennan and Mick Bugler—”the warring sons of warring sons”—in the countryside of Western Ireland. With her inimitable gift for describing the occasions of heartbreak, O’Brien brings Joseph’s live for his land to the level of his sister Breege’s love for both him and his rival, Bugler. Breege sees “the wrong of years and the recent wrongs” fuel each other as Bugler comes to claim recently inherited acreage on what her brother calls “my mountain.” A classic drama ensues, involving the full range of bonds and betrayals and leavened by the human comedy of which Edna O’Brien rarely loses sight.

A dinner dance in the village of Cloontha and the seduction of Mick Bugler by an eager pair of uninhibited sisters rival Joyce in their hectic exuberance. But as the narrative unfolds, the reader is drawn into the sense of foreboding in a place where “fields mean more than fields, more than life and more than death too.”
