Book Description
Introducing the Dragon Guard of the Northern Isles. Six dragon shifters who meet their fated mates. A hot, nerdy dragon content to be alone Dragon shifter Gideon wasn't looking for love. He preferred silence, solitude, and the company of his books. So, when he runs into his mate, his first instinct is to keep her at arm's length. However, he is constantly drawn to the feisty lioness shifter, and despite his own reservations, decides that he can't ignore his instinct and his dragon's determination to make her theirs. A lioness shifter running from a painful trauma Ginny Russel prided herself on being one of the best agents for the Shifter Protection Agency. No one knows she's keeping a secret--that her job was the only thing keeping her from spiraling downward. She takes on mission after mission to forget a horrific event from her past and the assignment to find the traitor threatening the lives of the royal family of the Northern Isles is no different--except that she unexpectedly runs into her fated mate. While her lioness may be keen on claiming the hot, nerdy dragon guard, she is not. Bonding meant staying, and that was the one thing she couldn't do, not when constantly moving from place to place was the only thing keeping her sane. She finds she can't keep away from him, but tells herself that it's only because he's the key to helping her complete her mission--and leave as soon as possible. Finding the mole who betrayed the king becomes their common ground and the passion and chemistry between them explode. But while Gideon is determined to claim his mate at all costs, Ginny's building more walls to keep him away. Will Gideon be able to win his mate's heart AND trust, or is Ginny just too broken to complete the mating bond?

Your pay isn't keeping up with the cost of living. Student debt weighs you down. Job opportunities just aren't there, and you feel like you're falling farther and farther behind. Maybe it's time to look beyond a traditional job and get ahead through a side hustle. In The Tao of the Side Hustle, martial arts champion and serial side hustler Don Hyun Kiolbassa applies principles of Wushu Kung Fu—the Chinese War Art popularized by Sun Tzu in Art of War—to provide a detailed framework for starting and growing your own venture. Don Hyun Kiolbassa is no stranger to side hustles. In addition to owning his own law firm, he is a CPA, martial artist, dynamic speaker and performer, and the motion capture model for some of the biggest action video games in the industry.

He turned to the fundamental principles of strategy learned in a lifetime of Martial Arts, including his time living as a Monk at the Shaolin Temple in China. In The Tao of the Side Hustle, Don shares this martial arts wisdom, blends Buddhist Martial Arts stories with strategic business, tax and legal principles, and explains how anyone interested in a side hustle or small business can follow in his footsteps.

Bestselling author Tanya Huff presents an all-new world of action and intrigue, where survivors of a disastrous war have outlawed all magic in favor of shared knowledge—but all is not as it seems.

With Marsanport’s future at risk, Ryan can only race forward, hoping to survive, keep his friends alive—and see truth where it is, not where he wants it to be...
