Summary:
Talent agent Laurie Bedford will use any ruse to proposition tennis pro Steve Slater--even hide in a laundry cart and catch him unclothed in a locker room. One glance confirms his suitability for the job she has in mind: modeling Comfortwear's men's briefs.

Reluctant to "expose" himself, Steve claims he's publicity shy. But he's hardly timid about announcing his intentions toward Laurie, and after one kiss, she's crumpling at his feet. Still, she refuses to join his cheering section, to become just one of an adoring crowd. She was cast into an athlete's shadow once before and has vowed to have her own day in the sun.

It's dangerous to consort with strangers, but truck driver Erin Taliferro can't afford to refuse brawny Luke Reardon's offer of help. She'll warily share his fancy rig for the chance to repay her debts and leave the hard life behind. But Luke's mysterious reticence--and the exquisite tension of their enforced intimacy--drive her into an emotional tailspin...

Beneath Erin's tough independence, Luke senses her vulnerability, her fear of intimacy, and an aching desire that matches his own. Vehemently he curses the secret promise that forces him to gain her trust with lies... and vows that, before they're finished, he'll claim her for his own.

He whisks her off on a death-defying helicopter ride, do-si-dos her at a local square dance, and leaves her gasping from his superlative lovemaking.

But Adam responds with hungry looks, sizzling caresses, and double-edged innuendo, churning Maggie's emotions into a maelstrom.

BON VOYAGE, MY HEART

Jessie Welles had no room in her life for love. Newly promoted to creative director of a top ad agency, her strongest priority was to maintain a professional stance in a competitive business. Then Martin Caldwell walked out of her past -- and straight back into her heart.

The owner of a million-dollar cruise line was once again her agency's top client. A professional woman didn't fall in love with her clients; she'd learned that bitter lesson from Martin years before.

But Jessie's job required her to take a cabin on his Alaskan luxury cruise. Would a week at sea with an impossibly persuasive man like Martin test her professionalism, or her love?

*** The author of this book is Elizabeth Merrit and not Eileen Bailey as listed.

Big Mack Walker doesn't often spring women from prison and bring them to his Montana ranch. But feisty Ginger Malone is no common jailbird. And theirs is no common attraction...

Ginger's got responsibilities--staggering debts to pay, an irrepressible daughter to raise... and no place for this macho cowboy. But his forceful character smacks of integrity. His off-beat humor touches the lonely places of her soul. His heady virility arouses a wickedly wanton desire. And he takes every opportunity to ride roughshod over her objections--challenging her assumptions, calming her terrors, and irrefutably claiming every facet of her rebel's heart...

In the twinkling of an eye, Kelly is traveling cross-country in Julian's van, helplessly spellbound by his mesmerizing gaze.

But ever distrustful of conjurers' tricks, Kelly suspects that the sleight-of-hand expert has skillfully evoked an illusion of love ... while she yearns for the real thing.

Apparently the alternate-cover edition was deleted - that file had the new (blue) cover that should replace
the old (blue) cover. The old blue cover is from the paperback distributor and is not suitable for online display; the new cover that was in the deleted alternate-cover edition was designed for online display and we expected it would replace the old (blue) cover when the default and the alternate were merged.

So, can we start over again? How can we have a different cover displayed for https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

Also, the older 1st Edition of Yang Shen, Book I is still availabe in paperback on Amazon, and Yankee Mandarin is available as a free eBook from the publisher Old China Books (oldchinabooks.com). We have updated the descriptions for these two titles accordingly.

Thanks for the offer for more tweaking. Apologies for burdening you with all this - if there is any of this work we can perform, please let us know. So...

Thank you for resuscitating the "ace." Should we now go to the ace page and set this book as primary, then update the description and ISBN? Or will "Combine Editions" somehow combine the ace and the other 2nd Edition version? Actually, "combine editions" is a lilttle intimidating as it shows all the several versions and only one button, implying that clicking on the combine button will produce a polyglot creature like a Chinese mythical beast - body of a lion, head of a goat, feathers of a chicken: Yankee Yang God from the Mandarin Shen Book I.

Only the 1st Edition (red cover) shows in James Lande's Books at https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... the author's page. May we also have the 2nd Edition (blue cover) listed here? Would it be correct to assume that once we have the 2nd Edition straight, and it is made primary, that the 2nd Edition will them appear in James Lande's Books?

And, as we have pointed out, because both Yang Shen Book I 1st Edition, Yang Shen Book I 2nd Edition, and Yankee Mandarin are all available (and not out of print), should they not all appear in James Lande's Books?

On the same page there is a Series by James Lande, which does not pertain, and which is a dead link. Can that be removed?

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... - this page has the old (blue) 2nd Edition
cover. Can it have the new (blue) 2nd Edition cover? If you bring up an example of both the old and new blue covers, click on each in turn and you'll see how much more clear is the wording on the new blue cover. The old blue cover, which comes from the paperback submitted by the printer/distributor, has lines at the top that are illegible as a thumbnail image, which appears to the potential reader as trashy and amateur, more so that the other blue cover, anyway.

In the GR Search, neither "Yang Shen" "Yang Shen 2nd Edition" nor "God from the West" bring up the newer 2nd Edition. Only the 1st Edition appears.

Cover: https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net...
Summary:
MADE FOR EACH OTHER

They didn't have much in common. Burke Madison was a criminal lawyer. Morgan Gray was a children's book illustrator. His days were spent defending characters like bail-jumper "Baby" Reyes. Her "clients" were Buster Bunny and Timmy the Turtle. But the strangest meetings make magic, and love works in mysterious ways.

Burke's summer project was to fall in love. He attacked the problem with a determination Morgan would have found endearing, had he not been marching a parade of women into his apartment next door. But Morgan was the only important one. She was funny, charming, tender, vulnerable. He liked her--cared for her--enjoyed being with her. Soon he learned to call it love.

Summary:
FUN ON THE FARM?

Ex-jet-setter Dawn Gilbert had traded glamour and riches for the peaceful country life: doll-making and mending, punctuated by a little skinny-dipping....

Returning after years spent as a "foreign diplomat," Creed Maxwell Parker was also back on the farm. But until he discovered the enticingly beautiful Dawn, Creed wasn't convinced that farm living was for him.

With Dawn, Creed discovered nature's most luscious bounty. Would the knowledge that Creed had been wearing a gun in his past job, not the three-piece suit he'd claimed, prevent nature from taking its course?

Summary:
A SURE THING

Griffin Hayden filled a pair of jeans like no man Kate Jennings had ever seen. She had to have him! But the former star quarterback had no intention of modeling for her ad agency's biggest account--until Kate used her brains and business instinct to offer him a daring wager. The seductive gleam in Griff's blue eyes told her he planned to win--and to collect!

But gambling with a betting man proved much riskier than Kate had ever dreamed. She'd lost at love before. Did she dare chance a game of hearts with a man who played for keeps?

Summary:
COMPROMISING POSITIONS

Maggie's election had been considerably helped by the incumbent senator's bad luck in getting caught up to his ears in a kickback scheme. She wasn't going to be so foolish as to get involved in anything that might jeopardize her hard-won position. But Maggie hadn't bargained on falling for a pair of laughing blue eyes.

Robert Tate was a reporter, a man to be wary of for a number of reasons. But somehow, counting them wasn't high on Maggie's list of priorities when she was in his arms.

They had everything to lose--so it was lucky they were both born to win.

Summary:
Her future beckoned . . . but so did he

Julie Thorne wanted one last glimpse of her childhood haven before selling it. But what she saw there gave her pause. The scenery had definitely changed. Down by the water stood a breathtaking man, muscular, bronzed--and stark naked.

But there was even more to Dan McLeod than met the eye. The rugged fisherman had a gentle, loving side. Julie was willingly lured into his sensuous net . . . even knowing their love was only for a season.

Summary:
SHE HAD UNDERESTIMATED THE POWER OF PASSION

When Dr. Michael Stratton chose Tracey for his arts scholarship she cried forjoy At last she could quit waitressing and write full-time. But she didn't trust the attractive doctor's motives. Most disturbing was her own shameless response to his powerful seduction.

She had to fight both before Michael controlled her completely--for growing up in the city slums had disillusioned Tracey about men and marriage. She deeply feared losing her hard-won independence.

But passion caught Tracey in its sweet fury, until she faced the insurmountable truth: she loved the man who desired her, yet who would never let her claim his heart....

Things weren't always what they seemed

Suzie had to tighten her belt financially when her friend Katrina abandoned her during their holiday in Jordan. But she was determined to see the rose city of Petra.

So she was greatly relieved to be rescued by mysterious Nathan Laird--until she fell in love with him and discovered her knight in shining armor had feet of clay...

*** Author of this book is Lucy Keane and not Bill Keane. Also it should be combined with this thread: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5... since it's another edition of this book.


Thank you! :)

Actually, I just noticed that the illustrator never received credit. Could we add Tom O'Sullivan as an illustrator credit too?

Thanks again.

A very helpful soul (don't know who) "dived" into my post (#249) but not all in there have been done. (Some summaries haven't been added and the last book hasn't been combined with its other edition). Could someone get to it when possible? Thank you! :)

sometimes when a thread is so long things get missed, when creating a new thread it is less likely to get overlooked.

Sorry for the delay in response, busy Friday/Saturday. Now that I look, I see the difference in the covers. Sorry I didn't see it earlier.

To answer your first question, yes, I would go to the ACE and set it as the default edition, as it is the most recently produced version and what's available on Amazon. But that's really up to you as the author. And yes, I have combined them all together, and that does sort of create a polyglot, but all of those editions are versions of the same book, yes? If so, then combining them is consistent with Goodreads policy. Moreover, it will pool all the accumulated ratings and reviews together, which is generally a good thing from the author's perspective...

Please do NOT change the ISBNs on any editions. They are all currently valid entries, and changing them is against Goodreads policy. The point of the default cover edition function is to allow authors to display new covers on reissues without vandalizing the valid data on old editions.

As for the red cover edition, the default edition is what appears on the author page. Unless set otherwise, Goodreads shows whatever the most popular edition is (whatever has been shelved by the most users). Setting the new cover as the default edition will change that. Instead, the new cover will show on your author page and will be the first thing users see when searching for your book.

To answer your question about all three books appearing on your page (and sorry to sound repetitive), because all three editions are versions of the same book, they have been combined according to GOodreads policy. You will only see one edition visible on your author page, and that will be whichever edition you set as the default.

Speaking of searching, the Goodreads search engine is... odd. Sadly, librarians have no control over it. Sorry!

And lastly, the series link that is dead will eventually go away of its own accord. Series are heavily cached on Goodreads, and changes can take up to 48 hours to fully propagate through the system.

If you have further questions, feel free to post them here. Don't feel like posting is a burden, this is what Goodreads librarians are here for. :)

Best,
Z
