I started working at Cassidy Ranch as a research project. I never expected to fall in love. But after meeting the three charming Cassidy brothers, I’m falling head over heels in love.

Confessions of a Public Defender describes the experiences of a criminal lawyer. The events and the descriptions in this book are derived from real courtroom experiences. The cases and outcomes are part of David Carson Futch's life experience that he wished had been available to him before law school. The only book he read concerning the actual law school experience was called One L, referring to a first-year law student.

Grier Taylor is just a lost girl. Abandoned by her parents when she was young, she was raised by a group of shifters who took her in. Now that she’s grown, she can’t help but notice all of the ways that she doesn’t truly belong. On her 18th birthday, Grier decides to leave Ash Mountain and the pack. That is until the Alpha comes for her.

Finally taken from the depths of hell, all I want is freedom. Instead, fate demands I accept a new master. A relentless alien alpha with orange scales and eyes so hungry I feel his pain.

With Malcolm on forced bed rest and off duty, Detective Seong-Jae Yoon faces his first solo case since joining the BPD—and it's one that will challenge his morals, his sense of duty, and his insistence on adhering to the letter of the law, especially when his actions in the Bishop case leave him questioning his own integrity. When the supposedly accidental death of a husband and father points to foul play in the victim's family, how close will Seong-Jae look to determine if the ends justify the means . . . and will he be able to live with the choices he makes?

Alexandra's on the run from her father and the friends that he tried to sell her to. She only stopped by Black River to regroup and try to make some extra cash. Things are going fine, until she witnesses two strange men turn into animals in front of her. When they start to fight for her attention, she doesn’t know what to think or how to react. When they tell her that they're her mates, will she be able to accept this new reality that she’s found herself in? Will she trust them with her secrets and eventually her heart?

The ISC created me for one purpose: to accept pain. I move from one test subject to the next, taking their physical and emotional struggles away. When Subject 869, an alien alpha with crimson eyes and merciless hands, demands more from me, I can’t give him what he wants most: my pleasure.

Shared by a professor, a football player, and an engineer? I never thought grad school would be so much fun.

Two friends. One pact. The performance of their lives. Hannah Abbott is stuck in a dead-end relationship and at a job she loves but that barely pays the bills. The four walls of her tiny New York City apartment have never seemed so small. She’s barely toasted her 30th birthday when her old college friend Will knocks on her door with an unexpected proposal.

It wasn’t my fault. Zack Tupelo, the chiseled blond stripper, kept smiling at me during the bachelorette party. Giving me sultry looks while gyrating his flawless body in front of everyone. I never would’ve gone home with him if I knew the truth: He’s a student in my History 414 class. I’m his professor. Now we have to spend the fall semester pretending it didn’t happen. But neither of us can forget the sweaty, scintillating night of passion we shared. Making matters worse is Finn, Zack’s dark-haired stripper partner.

I never had a thing for football players. That is, until I met Dallas Lockett. He’s the star player for the Salt Lake City Stallions. Football’s hottest, swooniest, most charming quarterback. A rich and famous playboy who could have anyone he wants. Yet for some reason, he wants me. The first big problem? Dallas has a strict no-girlfriend policy during the season. A policy which he - and his teammates - make very clear to me. But based on the way he looks at me in the locker room, that policy is being stretched to its limit.

Sold by my father to a group of strange men, I vow to never trust another male again. When my buyers turn out to be scientists who plan to experiment on me, I pray for a savior. Fate sends me a savage, horned alien alpha instead.

My New Year’s Resolution was to find my soulmate. I never expected to find three of them. But that’s exactly what happens after I agree to a trio of blind dates. And each of them is more suave and handsome than the last. These three Romeos are best friends, and I’m dating them at the same time. But the weirdest part is that they love sharing me. Can I choose one of them before my best friend’s wedding? Or in the end, will fate choose for me?

In Texas, football is a religion. Which makes Colt McAllister a god. He’s the star quarterback for the Fort Worth Frenzy. Colt could have any woman he wants. But he wants me. He’s not the only one. His two teammates want to share me, too. It’s my job to spend as much time with them as possible. Interviewing them on the football field...and getting extra personal off the field. Can Colt and his teammates lead the Frenzy into the playoffs? And will our sultry relationship last that long?

So, life sucks just about as much as it possibly can. And when I see gargoyles heading straight for me, all I'm left wondering is who will kill me first - the winged monster-hunters, or the angry sea dragons? What I don't expect? The gargoyles don't know who or what I am. So maybe, just maybe, if I can hide my identity long enough, I'll survive. But it might take a little distraction to accomplish. The thing is, I don't think I mind distracting four hard-as-stone gargoyles who can't stop staring.

My name is Anthony Vano, and I recently retired as a bartender. Tip the Bartender is a collection of anecdotes, stories, and conversations collected during my 20 years of slinging drinks from behind a bar. My favorite part of bartending is that it offers countless opportunities for amazing conversations with guests and fellow bartenders alike. Everybody has a story to tell or a confession to make. An exciting achievement. A haunting regret. A record to set straight. A powerful "aha" moment or lesson learned - wisdom that simply must be shared.

It was just supposed to be a one-night stand. Some no-strings-attached fun to help me get over my ex. And after the sizzling night Hunter and I had? Soon the only thing I can think about is when I’m going to see him again. But a blizzard descended on our mountain cabin in the middle of the night. Now Hunter and I are snowed in together. And we’re not the only ones. His two colleagues are staying in the cabin next door. And they’re even more handsome and flirty than he is.

The last thing I expected to find in my dossier was sexy stockings, a plane voucher to London, and an invitation to dance at a gentleman's club. I'm a quiet museum curator for God's sake. No way, no how am I going to slide down a pole for a bunch of over privileged, narcissistic men—until I see Sean Fraser, my childhood crush, enter the establishment. Since I'm no longer that overweight teen with braces and mousey hair, there is no way he'll recognize me. Hmmm . . . Maybe I'll give him a fake name—and a private dance. That ought to make him finally notice me, right?

The central experience of the Ramones and their music is of being an outsider, an outcast, a person who’s somehow defective, and the revolt against shame and self-loathing. The fans, argues Donna Gaines, got it right away, from their own experience of alienation at home, at school, on the streets, and from themselves. This sense of estrangement and marginality permeates everything the Ramones still offer us as artists, and as people. Why the Ramones Matter compellingly makes the case that the Ramones gave us everything.
