Dead Presidents MC: Books 1-3
Harley Stone - 2019
These fierce, faithful vigilantes are all about wild, passionate nights with the strong, intelligent women they love. This collection includes the first three full-length novels of the series. No cheating, no cliffhangers. Link’d Up: Club president Link’s search for a lawyer brave enough to fight for justice for his (mostly) innocent sergeant at arms leads him to an alluring defense attorney with a bleeding heart and a steel backbone. This isn’t the first time Emily Stafford’s commitment to defending the falsely accused has put her in harm’s way, but this time her heart is in danger. Smart, cautious, and independent, she might be just the queen Link needs. Wreaking Havoc: Julia Edwards is a recovering mean girl who needs a formidable date for her sister’s wedding. Dead Presidents MC sergeant at arms, Havoc, has a heart of gold hidden beneath layers of anger and PTSD. But in this beautiful yet volatile bookstore owner, he finds peace. Can two attempted murderers build a life together? Or will the loose ends from their pasts unravel their future? Trapping Wasp: Wasp, VP of the Dead Presidents MC, rides life like it’s his bike, at full speed with no real destination. But when he sets his sights on an irresistible new bartender with a comical little kid, he’ll have to give up that carefree lifestyle to become the man they need. With Carly’s dangerous past nipping at her heels, can Wasp prove himself to be more than a party boy with a panty-dropping smile and made-for-sin body?
Hester's Hunt for Home Trilogy
Linda Byler - 2017
When she's forced to leave everything behind and forge her own path, where—and with whom—will Hester choose to make her new home?Hester on the Run, Book 1: One April morning, an Amish couple finds a Native American infant, wrapped in deerskin and placed next to the spring where they gather water. Kate and Hans adopt the child and name her Hester, despite the criticism of certain community members. Hester glows as she grows, an unmistakable beauty both inside and out, but begins to realize she doesn't quite fit in. An encounter with a Lenape medicine woman gives her a glimpse of her undiscovered heritage. When her own father becomes a threat, Hester is forced to flee from the Amish community, the only home she has ever really known. Which Way Home?, Book 2: Twice rescued—first by matronly Native women who find her unconscious in the woods and then by a boy in downtown Lancaster where she'd been left for dead by the dreaded Paxton boys—Hester finds herself wondering if she will ever find a safe haven. When an Amish man from her past reappears, it seems like destiny, but William King is more in love with the way she looks than with her heart and mind. When a Native American man makes a proposal to Hester, she is perplexed more than ever. Where will her heart lead her?Hester Takes Charge, Book 3: Now widowed and living in downtown Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Hester is startled by the unexpected appearance of Noah, the firstborn son of her adoptive parents. Their father's misplaced love for Hester and utter neglect of Noah drove each of them away from their Amish family. When Noah suggests they return to their childhood home to see their ill father, Hester can no longer ignore her buried anger and bitterness. Can they possibly forgive Hans? Can Hester trust herself—and Noah—enough to marry again?Skyhorse Publishing, as well as our Arcade, Yucca, and Good Books imprints, are proud to publish a broad range of books for readers interested in fiction—novels, novellas, political and medical thrillers, comedy, satire, historical fiction, romance, erotic and love stories, mystery, classic literature, folklore and mythology, literary classics including Shakespeare, Dumas, Wilde, Cather, and much more.

The Monty Hall Problem: The Remarkable Story of Math's Most Contentious Brain Teaser
Jason Rosenhouse - 2009
Imagine that you face three doors, behind one of which is a prize. You choose one but do not open it. The host--call him Monty Hall--opens a different door, alwayschoosing one he knows to be empty. Left with two doors, will you do better by sticking with your first choice, or by switching to the other remaining door? In this light-hearted yet ultimately serious book, Jason Rosenhouse explores the history of this fascinating puzzle. Using a minimum ofmathematics (and none at all for much of the book), he shows how the problem has fascinated philosophers, psychologists, and many others, and examines the many variations that have appeared over the years. As Rosenhouse demonstrates, the Monty Hall Problem illuminates fundamental mathematical issuesand has abiding philosophical implications. Perhaps most important, he writes, the problem opens a window on our cognitive difficulties in reasoning about uncertainty.
