When Skylar Dufrense attends a career fair, she is attracted to a booth with an unusual banner. The strange thing is that nobody else can see it. But when she is attacked by a creature that doesn't exist, can't exist in real life, she is drawn into a world that is more vast, amazing, and dangerous than she could have imagined. Now she is faced with a stark choice: return to the relative safety and predictability of her university or leave her old life behind and leap into a world of magic and monsters and join an elite group of Veilwalkers who traverse the boundaries between realms to hunt down dangerous creatures.

Book Description
The first novel in New York Times bestselling author Anne Bishop's Tir Alainn Trilogy. The youngest in a long line of witches, Ari senses that things are changing—changing for the worse. For generations, her kin have tended the Old Places, keeping the land safe and fertile. But with the Summer Moon, the mood of her neighbors has soured. And Ari is no longer safe. The Fae have long ignored what occurs in the mortal world, passing through on their shadowy roads only long enough to amuse themselves. But the roads are slowly disappearing, leaving the Fae Clans isolated and alone. Where harmony between the spiritual and the natural has always reigned, a dissonant chord now rings in the ears of both Fae and mortal. And when murmurs of a witch-hunt hum through the town, some begin to wonder if the different omens are notes in the same tune. And all they have to guide them is a passing reference to something called the Pillars of the World...

Dr. Jin Tsay’s revelation entices the military with a potential to uncover and disarm any covert threats. The government that funded the engineer’s classified project orders Tsay’s death, so they can solely and secretly possess his alluring technological consummation: VEIL Veil proves to be the purest, deepest form of espionage and anti-terrorism by endowing humankind with the ability to experience life through another person. Dr. Tsay's technology offers submersion into another’s mind; Veil provides a direct perception of their immediate thoughts, emotions, memories, and the rush of their most intimate senses. If it ever escapes the military’s relentlessly selfish grip, Veil swears to permanently alter the psychosocial, sexual, political, economic, and religious landscapes of our lives. Veil promises to usher in our ultimately unifying evolution: the New Veil World. Retribution for Dr. Jin Tsay’s assassination comes in the form of his widow, who races to deliver Veil unto the world and share it freely, before those who ordered her husband’s murder can exploit it. Wielding the inescapable force of Veil, Suren Tsay seeks to inflict justice upon all those responsible for her husband’s demise, culminating in an unforgiving, brutal, obsessive hunt for the elusive killer of the father of the New Veil World: the Great Jin Tsay. Taking Veil beyond limits Jin himself could’ve imagined, the revered Widow Tsay vows to get her revenge at any cost. Suren Tsay soon realizes she too must inhabit the world created by her husband’s invention and her own bloodlust. Suren must learn to live in the New Veil World. She must also fight to liberate it.

Bugaboo's Secrets
Author: Blake Hendon
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 0595256163
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
The word "family" seems to carry more weight in a small town or rural setting. Without the fast pace and crowded conditions, people with blood ties accumulate and tend to turn to their own for the things that are gained elsewhere from bowling teams, the performing arts, soup kitchens or support groups. The need to be entertained or helpful or competitive or cared for (and about) seems to be more easily and simply met where time and space are plentiful. Those two ingredients are the magnets that always draw family-like friends Noble Stone and Hampton Wormant to South Georgia for healthy doses of kinship and nature, especially the week of the Stone Family Reunion. But even on the trip from Athens, Georgia, trouble starts brewing for the young men and it turns into nightmarish battles in the Okefenokee Swamp to stop the flow of drugs through a protected wilderness. With timing ever a factor and the vastness ever present, it becomes a constant attempt for both sides not to emerge victorious, but to simple endure the harsh treatment of man and nature. Grab your canoe paddle and insect spray and join Noble, Hamp, Jar, Chase, Ty and Byron on the tea-colored water in the Land of the Trembling Earth.

Book Description
From USA Today bestselling author, Jane Anthony, comes a seductive, edge-of-your-seat romantic suspense. Hank Lawless was the best sex of my life -- except I didn't know his name. I acted on my impulses, toed the line between right and wrong, then gave in to my desire for the strange man at my door. I don't know why I did it. Perhaps it had been so long since I felt a man's touch on my body. Or maybe it was the look in his eyes devouring my flesh, the feeling of being wanted instead of owned. Now, five years after I forced him away, I find myself face to face with eyes that match my daughter's. But she's not the only secret I've kept. I'm a liar. A shattered woman hiding from her past, on the run from my ruthless husband. He'll paint the town red with my blood if he finds me. Romantic entanglements are a dangerous risk I cannot take. Hank was meant to be a one-time thing. I never expected to see him again.
