I let my temper get the best of me. Now we have less to work with and a much larger puzzle to solve. I wiped out our best lead and shook the foundation of my new rule, all in one shanking. Double crap. My Darkblood subjects no longer trust me, and we're being sucked into the biggest scavenger hunt of the two worlds. Even if the leprechaun's curse was never real, something more sinister was locked inside that gold coin: doubt.

I will raze the Unseen realm and destroy every abomination that lives in it. The obsidian fae abducted and tortured me, murdered my best friend, and ruined my life. After 13 years of being the crazy girl no one wants around, I've finally found a portal to the other world. But I need an elemental to take me through it. The only one who'll do the job is Max, a sex-starved incubus who wants my body as payment for the service - and my body wants him.

When I was young, I dreamed of being a ballerina. Then my dance career ended up on an entirely different stage, the kind that comes with a pole.

The NFL is full of rules. Rules I've never broken, never challenged, never even scratched...until the day Lucas Carrington crashes into my life with his hard body and I-don't-give-a-f--k attitude. After I almost injure my father's star player, I volunteer to make sure he's in top shape. At first, it's hell. I don't like his cockiness and his easy smile. I don't like the way he oozes sex or how his penetrating eyes follow me everywhere. But that doesn't stop me from wanting him. He's meant to be a distraction - something to occupy my mind for these precious few remaining hot summer nights.

Demons don't know how to love. Since I don't mix summoning and relationships, that's fine by me. But neither of those facts keeps us from sneaking into each other's bedrooms at night. And day. And pretty much any time not spent tracking down Em's killer. It was supposed to be a bluff. Going to them after they took everything—my apartment, my job. It was a power move. But now I'm here, living with three dangerous, powerful demons who can't decide if they want to bone me or bury me.

Familie ist alles... Ich hatte immer gewusst, dass mein Vater ein kalter, herzloser Bastard war. Aber in dem Moment, in dem er Elle Castlemaine und ihre erbärmliche Tochter zu uns nach Hause holte, kaum einen Monat nach dem Tod unserer Mutter, entfesselte er etwas Wildes in mir. Es war mir egal, dass sie ihr Zuhause verloren hatten. Es war mir egal, dass ihr Vater hinter Gittern saß. Es war mir egal, dass er den berüchtigten Stidda-Mafiaboss, Benjamin Rossi, verraten und damit ihr Leben in Gefahr gebracht hatte. Alles, was mich interessierte, war sie.

A sorted little world within my circle of friends and family had carried on for years without my knowledge. So when Liam tipped over the rock I was hiding under and exposed his world to me, one fraught with stigma and societal disrespect, I struggled to decide if I should find a bigger rock to hide under or embrace it. He was, after all, the most charming of men, the most handsome of anyone I'd ever dated, and the most incredible lover I could ever have imagined.

Dad promised me he’d stop sneaking into the Veil. He lied. Which is why I found a teaching job in the Court of His Highness, Gabriel the Virtuous. His school for misguided youth is nearest to the Veil. If he catches me sneaking around, I’m toast. My problems mount when I meet Gabriel face to face - and my soul lights up and begins to dance. He’s six-feet-three of muscle with midnight-blue eyes and a body made for lust - which is decidedly not on his list of virtues.

For Core and Sin...there’s a thin line between love and hate - and nothing is what it seems. Core’s a billionaire bad boy - living in a dangerous world - with an empire filled with dirty secrets, twisted lies, and scorching lust. He’s a corporate god, one that sassy, curvy Sin hasn’t been able to avoid...or resist. But now the truth has come to light, and all secrets have been unveiled.

Everything’s fair in love and murder. Sinthia Michaels has lost everything. Core McKay has nothing to lose. In one fell swoop, Sin has lost the support of her retailers, her couture line, and everything she’s worked for her entire life. Behind it, all is the man she’s undeniably attracted to - and the man she despises just as much as she adores.

Damon Fitzgerald's only desire is to get back to LA and out of the tiny Alaskan town he's somehow inherited. But first he has to keep a promise he made to his old army buddy and look out for his friend's son. That would be a whole lot easier if the kid's mother wasn't the mayor of Deep River.

Every time my neighbor jogs past my house, I do my best to tempt him. Washing my car, watering my lawn, doing yoga in the grass with all my assets in the air. I’m not sure if he notices me, but I sure can’t miss him. Then one day he falls...into my arms and into my bed. Surprisingly, we’re better matched than I would’ve expected. But when he reveals who he is, my world comes crashing down around me because if he finds out my secret, we’re finished before we’ve even begun.

La paura sistematica, che dà disturbi anche gravi come ansia, attacchi di panico, depressione e somatizzazioni, è dovuta al mancato sviluppo della personalità adulta e quindi al permanere della personalità infantile. Giulio Cesare Giacobbe lo ha mostrato nel suo fortunato saggio "Alla ricerca delle coccole perdute", fondando così la psicologia evolutiva.

"Per quanto l'uomo, dal punto di vista femminile, sia un animale semplice oltre che stupido, bisogna sapere che come i vermi (altri animali semplici oltre che stupidi) l'uomo si distingue in diversi tipi, tutti semplici e stupidi ma tutti diversi fra loro. E come i passeri si prendono con la rete, le anatre con la doppietta e gli struzzi con il lazo, pur essendo tutti uccelli, così gli uomini si prendono con la rete se piccoli, con la doppietta se grandi, con il lazo se grandissimi. Occorre solo conoscerli. E usare un metodo scientifico."

This is not just a love story, it's an obsession.... I can't keep my eyes off the tall, dark, and confident man who stops in the coffee shop every morning. I want this stranger more than I've ever wanted anyone before, even though I only know his first name. As an author, my imagination is my ultimate writing tool, men like Kane are my muse. And the minute he leaves, I'm overcome with fantasies I can't control and my fingers fly across the keyboard; until one day, I almost snap. My embarrassing outburst has me running out the door when he catches me and takes me to his home.
