It had to be a duke / by Lorret, Vivienne,author.;
"Verity Hartley always tells the truth. Well, mostly. However, when her snooty neighbor returns to their small hamlet to brag about having a grand Season, a plethora of ballgowns, and so many suitors that she cannot possibly decide which one to marry, Verity tells a lie. She claims to be betrothed. To a duke. Who happens to be her family's sworn enemy. But what are the odds that he would ever learn of this one, little, harmless falsehood? Magnus Warring, the Duke of Longhurst, is on the precipice of marrying an heiress to save his estate from financial ruin. At least, he was. Until he hears an unbelievable rumor that he is already betrothed. To the daughter of a liar, cheat, and swindler! Needing to protect his reputation, he hunts down the culprit. And when he finds the untamed beguiler, she has the audacity to ask him to lie for her. To pretend to be her fiancé! One week, that's all Verity needs. Then Magnus could return to his life. But nothing is ever that simple. Sometimes it doesn't take that long to fall in love, even with the enemy."--

Pursuing play : women's leisure in small-town Ontario, 1870-1914 / by Beausaert, Rebecca,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Life in the Canadian countryside at the turn of the twentieth century is often generalized as insular, backwards, and defined by drudgery. These assumptions are redressed in Rebecca Beausaert's Pursuing Play, which highlights the complexity of small-town culture through a lively examination of women's efforts to negotiate space for themselves and their leisure pursuits. Amply illustrated, Pursuing Play draws on diaries, letters, newspapers, and census records to investigate women's recreational activities in three southern Ontario towns -- Dresden, Tillsonburg, and Elora -- between 1870-1914. Though women's recreational choices were restricted by pervasive ideas about propriety, Beausaert reveals how they increasingly spearheaded both formal and informal clubs, events, and social gatherings, and integrated them into their daily lives. In telling the story of what small-town women did for fun while navigating social hierarchies, nurturing ties of kinship and friendship, and advancing community development, Pursuing Play adds a new dimension to Canadian histories of gender, leisure, and popular culture. Encompassing public and private pastimes, the growth of sports, the phenomenon of "armchair travelling," and how easily recreation can slip from reputable to disreputable, this rich study uncovers how gender, class, and ethnicity shaped the nature and scope of women's leisure in small-town Ontario and beyond."--

Tennessee! / by Ross, Dana Fuller,author.;
The history of Tennessee is as rich and colorful as the people who thrived there. But in the late 1880s, another kind of seed took root in this rugged, fertile land - a homegrown conspiracy to overthrow the U.S. government. A makeshift militia of disgruntled Civil War veterans has taken over a woman's farm. Her only hope lies with Toby Holt, son of fabled wagon master Whip Holt. Together, they must fight a streak of rebellion that stretches from the hills of Tennessee to the halls of West Point to the highest levels of power in the nation.
