Stealing Joy Welcome to Wet Waterfalls, a minuscule magical municipality hidden in the Wind River Range of Wyoming. Sometimes the scariest demons disguise themselves as someone you love. I learned that the hard way. I got out with my life, barely. I rescued myself from one danger, only to throw myself into another. I would have never survived a night in the woods on the side of a mountain if Doggo hadn’t shown up and brought his friends. Now I’m in protective custody, and for some reason, these crazy hot men are my self-appointed bodyguards. I’d like the tall one, Gage, to do a bit more than just guard my body, but Doggo—his real name is Max—might have something to say about that. Apparently, he has claimed me. The only explanation Gage will give me is, “Monsters are real, and love is magic.” I have to wait for the new moon to find out the rest. Stealing Joy is the sexy hot menage beginning to the Wolves of Wet Waterfalls, a why choose/ poly romance trilogy. Finding Home Everything is changing so fast, except my rate of healing. I would really like to be able to walk around in regular clothes. These open-back hospital gowns are a little too cold up the back side. I’d give my left pinkie toe for some warm cotton panties. Oh, wait I have, so where are my panties? The guys keep repeating, “We are pack,” like some kind of cult mantra. It tickles when they say it against my skin. The FBI wants to use me as some kind of fishing lure to catch the bad guy. I’m game if it means I can finally ditch the whole hospitalized patient get-up. I’m really tired of being hooked up to an IV. Also, I really want the good guys to catch the evil known as my ex-boyfriend. I can’t believe I thought I was in love with him. Max has gone AWOL and Gage has promised to keep me safe. I’m counting on him. Welcome to Wet Waterfalls, Wyoming, my new hometown. I’m moving here because monsters are real, doughnuts are magic, and I’m pretty sure my new boyfriend is a werewolf. Finding Home is the second in the sexy hot trilogy of the Wolves of Wet Waterfalls Ending Torment The good guys won and Max came home, but I still can’t quite relax, too much to do. The day is finally here and I’m far from being ready. I still don’t have everything I need, including something to wear. Preparations would be a lot easier if Kathleen, Gage’s ex, wasn’t going around town telling everyone I’m harassing her. She even took out a restraining order against me. Despite her attempt to get me in trouble with the local sheriff’s department, I’m going to stay here, and I’m marrying Gage. I’m not sure which I’m more excited about getting married or the full moon. The full moon means I finally get answers, but it also means I’m without protection by my side for three nights. I should be fine. My murderous ex is in FBI custody. Right? Welcome to Wet Waterfalls, there are demons in the woods, and witches on Main street. Ending Torment is the last story in the sexy hot trilogy.




Blindsight


Book Description

Hugo and Shirley Jackson award-winning Peter Watts stands on the cutting edge of hard SF with his acclaimed novel, Blindsight Two months since the stars fell... Two months of silence, while a world held its breath. Now some half-derelict space probe, sparking fitfully past Neptune's orbit, hears a whisper from the edge of the solar system: a faint signal sweeping the cosmos like a lighthouse beam. Whatever's out there isn't talking to us. It's talking to some distant star, perhaps. Or perhaps to something closer, something en route. So who do you send to force introductions with unknown and unknowable alien intellect that doesn't wish to be met? You send a linguist with multiple personalities, her brain surgically partitioned into separate, sentient processing cores. You send a biologist so radically interfaced with machinery that he sees x-rays and tastes ultrasound. You send a pacifist warrior in the faint hope she won't be needed. You send a monster to command them all, an extinct hominid predator once called vampire, recalled from the grave with the voodoo of recombinant genetics and the blood of sociopaths. And you send a synthesist—an informational topologist with half his mind gone—as an interface between here and there. Pray they can be trusted with the fate of a world. They may be more alien than the thing they've been sent to find. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Unbroken


Book Description

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE • Look for special features inside. Join the Random House Reader’s Circle for author chats and more. In boyhood, Louis Zamperini was an incorrigible delinquent. As a teenager, he channeled his defiance into running, discovering a prodigious talent that had carried him to the Berlin Olympics. But when World War II began, the athlete became an airman, embarking on a journey that led to a doomed flight on a May afternoon in 1943. When his Army Air Forces bomber crashed into the Pacific Ocean, against all odds, Zamperini survived, adrift on a foundering life raft. Ahead of Zamperini lay thousands of miles of open ocean, leaping sharks, thirst and starvation, enemy aircraft, and, beyond, a trial even greater. Driven to the limits of endurance, Zamperini would answer desperation with ingenuity; suffering with hope, resolve, and humor; brutality with rebellion. His fate, whether triumph or tragedy, would be suspended on the fraying wire of his will.

The Dovekeepers


Book Description

An ambitious and mesmerizing novel from the bestselling author of Rules of Magic. The Dovekeepers is “striking….Hoffman grounds her expansive, intricately woven, and deepest new novel in biblical history, with a devotion and seriousness of purpose” (Entertainment Weekly). Nearly two thousand years ago, nine hundred Jews held out for months against armies of Romans on Masada, a mountain in the Judean desert. According to the ancient historian Josephus, two women and five children survived. Based on this tragic and iconic event, Hoffman’s novel is a spellbinding tale of four extraordinarily bold, resourceful, and sensuous women, each of whom has come to Masada by a different path. Yael’s mother died in childbirth, and her father, an expert assassin, never forgave her for that death. Revka, a village baker’s wife, watched the murder of her daughter by Roman soldiers; she brings to Masada her young grandsons, rendered mute by what they have witnessed. Aziza is a warrior’s daughter, raised as a boy, a fearless rider and expert marksman who finds passion with a fellow soldier. Shirah, born in Alexandria, is wise in the ways of ancient magic and medicine, a woman with uncanny insight and power. The lives of these four complex and fiercely independent women intersect in the desperate days of the siege. All are dovekeepers, and all are also keeping secrets—about who they are, where they come from, who fathered them, and whom they love.
