She's the beautiful and infuriating manager of my family's small-town lodge. And I'm the prodigal heir with plans to sell it. The catch? I have to live in the lodge filled with my terrible childhood memories and serve as a glorified intern to Chloe. Personally, I think she'd rather throw me in the river. And I'd rather torch the place than stay there. But I need the money, and she's no quitter. The more we push each other, the more I want from her. Even if it means I start making new plans. Author's Note: Escape to a cozy small town and enjoy a story complete with a meet-cute by moose head, a scheming grandmother, and an emotional romance that smolders like a riverside bonfire on a cool night. First in a series of full-length, standalone small-town romances. Always HEA.

The most original and ground-breaking work on Beowulf in several decades, this book uses “lexomic” methods that blend computer-assisted statistical analysis with traditional approaches to reveal new and surprising information about the construction and sources of the greatest surviving Old English poem. Techniques of cluster analysis identify patterns of vocabulary distribution that indicate robust similarities and differences among segments of the poem. The correlation of these patterns with knowledge gained from source-study, philological analysis, and neglected previous scholarship sheds new light on the material of which Beowulf was made and the way it was composed. The implications of this investigation for the dating, structure, and cultural context of Beowulf will overturn the current scholarly consensus and significantly improve our understanding of the poem, its nature, and origins.
