Alien Warrior's Second Chance


Book Description

Warrior Zorras always takes what he wants—and he wants her. When Karla flees Earth for the safety of planet New Vaxx, the last thing she expects is for one of the huge aliens to show an interest in her. Yet the sexy Vaxxlian warrior named Zorras keeps coming around, and he even threatens to kidnap her. Good thing she’s a fast runner. She tries to convince Zorras he’s wasting his time—she’s too old to have his children—but this news doesn’t deter him in the least. He insists she’s the loveliest female he’s ever seen and claims he recognizes her as his one true mate. But even if he’s telling the truth, Karla is nervous about mating with a Vaxxlian. Her first marriage wasn’t a happy one and she never planned to marry again—let alone enter an everlasting mating bond with a bossy, Vaxxlian warrior. She’ll just ignore the handsome alien and hope he goes away. Yep, that’ll work. Or will it? After losing his first mate during the war, Zorras longs for a second chance. The lonely widower doesn’t care that Karla can’t have offspring—he only wants her. He’s convinced they’re soulmates, and he keeps trying to make her visit Vaxxlian Matchmakers so the psychics can verify what he already knows. Surely if one of the psychic matchmakers tells Karla that Zorras is her one true mate, she’ll agree to become his wife. But the pretty human is frustratingly strong-willed and refuses to do as he says. Maybe he’ll follow through with his threat to kidnap her, after all. What could possibly go wrong?

From the early days when live music accompanied silent films to the present in which a composer can draw upon a full orchestra or a lone synthesizer to embody a composition, music has been an integral element of most films. By the late 1930s, movie studios had established music departments, and some of the greatest names in film music emerged during Hollywood’s Golden Age, including Alfred Newman, Max Steiner, Dimitri Tiomkin, and Bernard Herrmann. Over the decades, other creators of screen music offered additional memorable scores, and some composers—such as Henry Mancini, Randy Newman, and John Williams—have become household names. The Encyclopedia of Film Composers features entries on more than 250 movie composers from around the world. It not only provides facts about these artists but also explains what makes each composer notable and discusses his or her music in detail. Each entry includes Biographical material Important dates Career highlights Analysis of the composer’s musical style Complete list of movie credits This book brings recognition to the many men and women who have written music for movies over the past one hundred years. In addition to composers from the United States and Great Britain, artists from dozens of other countries are also represented. A rich resource of movie music history, The Encyclopedia of Film Composers will be of interest to fans of cinema in general as well as those who want to learn more about the many talented individuals who have created memorable scores.
