Sadie was only in picturesque Pineville, Michigan, for a day, trying to handle the ramshackle house her grandmother left her and juggle the sale of her failing design business at the same time. Her debtors don't care that it's almost Christmas. But then neither does the big bad contractor whose truck got squashed. Colt McCoy might be the least festive person she's ever met. He's gruff, rude, and way too upset about a minor accident. Of course, he is nice to look at, with dimples hiding in his scruffy beard and a body like a lumberjack's. And Sadie will have plenty of time to enjoy the view, since their community service sentence has put the two of them in charge of Pineville's jinxed Christmas tree. But as their squabbles over ornaments turn to laughter, anyone can see Colt and Sadie have something electric. The hard part is guessing if they'll light each other up—or just... Views: 10

I fell in love and began having an affair with my married professor, and to top it off we’ve been caught by his vengeful spouse.

I’m pregnant and he thinks it’s best if I abort the child before anyone finds out. My only choice is to leave town, to return to the family who I know will protect me. I don’t know what’s going to happen when they find out the truth, but at this point nothing can hurt me more than losing everything I’ve worked my whole life for. Views: 10

Coast: the edge of land, or conversely the edge of sea. Range: a measure between limits, or the scope or territory of a thing. Coast Range, the debut collection of essays from writer Nick Neely, meticulously and thoughtfully dwells on these intersections and much more.
