Third Time Lucky

Deborah Cooke

Twelve years have passed since events in All or Nothing and it's time to check in with my favorite family again. When last we heard, Jen had opened a yarn shop, Zach had his first photography show, Matt had finished his first book, Leslie had left the college to teach at a new and smaller school and Annette was going to learn to drive the Jag. James had moved over to the DA's office, Maralys had become a soccer mom and was pregnant, Nick was growing heritage seeds, and Phil was running her garden design business even as she expected her first child. Beverly had adopted a pair of standard poodles and was dating Ross, the veterinarian, and Matt was buying out his siblings' shares of the family house, Grey Gables, in Rosemount. There have been babies and changes galore, so come and catch up with the Coxwells in this holiday short story. *** The Coxwell series of contemporary romances and romantic comedies currently contains four books, each featuring one of the siblings: 1. Third Time Lucky is Philippa Coxwell and Nick Sullivan's story, a second chance romance and reunion story featuring a curvy girl and a bad boy. 2. Double Trouble is James Coxwell and Maralys O'Reilly's story, a second chance romance and secret baby story, featuring mistaken identity, twins and a newly single dad. 3. One More Time is Matt and Leslie Coxwells story, a second chance romance featuring a marriage on the rocks (which works out just fine). 4. All or Nothing is Zach Coxwell's romance with Jen Maitland, a bad boy romance with a cancer survivor who has forgotten how to laugh. All of the Coxwell stories feature the fictional small town of Rosemount, just outside of Boston. 5. Christmas with the Coxwells is a short holiday story which revisits the family twelve years after the end of All or Nothing for their family Christmas dinner in Rosemount. Catch up with the kids of that earlier generation in preparation for their romances, coming soon. *** contemporary romance, holiday story, christmas story, short story, chick-lit, second chance romance, reunion, hometown, on the rocks, romantic comedy, cancer survivor, yarn shop, knitting, teacher, lawyer, married with kids, later in life, high school crush

A Holiday Short Story

Christmas with the Coxwells

York Clergy Wills, 1520-1600

This book provides readers with an account of the rivalry between the two kingdoms of Church and State between the years 1450 and 1660. England inherited, from medieval times, two systems of authority: the Church, governed by Pope and Bishops; and the State, ruled by Monarch and Lords. However, from the late fourteenth century onwards, this division was increasingly challenged by the laity's insistence on their right to choose not only between different systems of Church government but also between different forms of religious belief. The author charts the rivalry between clergy and laity's and shows how political and social developments between 1450 and 1660 were decisively influenced by this conflict. This second edition includes updates throughout the text in the light of recent scholarship and a new bibliography.

This is a collection of specially commissioned research essays by scholars on the government of Tudor England, designed as a tribute from a group of advanced students to their supervisor. Professor Sir Geoffrey Elton, to whom the volume is dedicated, is internationally celebrated, and the most influential living historian of the period. Each essay reflects the special interest of the author, within the broader theme of 'Law and Government'. The book will be read by many who have been influenced by Professor Elton's teaching, but who may not necessarily be students or historians of Tudor England.
