ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 239
Book Description
Penny Lane. My lawyer's sister, and a girl I've rarely even talked to in person. Best friend to my brother's wife. Good girl in every way, from her blond ringlets to her rosebud mouth. And my new assistant. I don't know why she's here or what made her think accepting the job was a good idea, but from the moment she walks into the office, I know two things: First, I don't trust her. She's a terrible liar, and she's definitely up to something, though I don't know what. Second: She's getting under my skin in a way no woman ever has. And by 'under my skin,' I mean making me think of every single thing I could to wipe that good-girl shine right off her. Every place I could take her, every word I could whisper as I... If only I trusted her. If only she wasn't my lawyer's sister and my sister-in-law's best friend. Because I don't touch girls with connections like that. I don't touch girls who look like they should be sucking on lollipops and chewing bubble gum. I definitely don't touch girls who are younger than me. Of course, I made that rule before Penny Lane walked into my office and accepted the job I was throwing at her feet. Her Target is a swoonworthy romantic adventure that features enemies to lovers, a girl who doesn't know what the hell she's doing and a guy who knows exactly who and what he is, spying, intrigue, hi jinks, kidnapping, guns, and plenty of sexual tension, and is the first in the Penny and Michael duology of Mafia Rogues.

Perfect for fans of The Bear and the Nightingale and Uprooted, this beautifully dark folk fantasy follows a young witch as she answers the call of her ancestors beneath the looming threat of witch hunts in a mythic world of magic, mystery, and romance... A witch. A tryst. A curse... Beneath the murky waters of the lake, an ancient being slumbers, and Brygida is its servant. Kept sheltered in the woods by her mothers from the nearby village, Brygida has never had so much as a friend—until the day she meets a charming stranger painting by the lake. He invites her to the village’s harvest feast, but her taste of the forbidden ends with a murder. Called into service for the first time, Brygida must take up her ancestral duty as Reaper of Death and solve the murder within three days. If she brings the murderer to the lake on the third day, the being she serves will be sated. If she fails, Brygida herself will be drawn beneath the murky waters, and the village massacred. There’s only one problem: the main suspect is her charming painter, Kaspian. As Brygida investigates, the dangers are many and answers few. The village and her family stand against her, and with time running short, the lake demands a price. Brygida believes Kaspian is innocent, but can she stake her life on it, when failure means condemning the rest of the village, and being dragged into the deep...?

Interactions between the mammalian main and accessory olfactory systems
Author: Jorge A Larriva-Sahd
Publisher: Frontiers E-books
ISBN: 2889192563
Category : Neurosciences. Biological psychiatry. Neuropsychiatry
Languages : en
Pages : 156
Book Description
The functional cross-talk and structural interaction between the main and accessory olfactory bulb is a central problem in mammalian sensory neurobiology. The early supposition that volatile substances and pheromones, most of them hydrosoluble molecules, are exclusively sensed and decoded by the main (MOS) and accessory olfactory systems (AOS), respectively, needs to be revised. In fact, a large number of structural and functional evidences accumulated during the last few decades, suggests that rather than separated entities, the MOS and AOS act synergically, bringing about physiological and behavioural responses. The goal of the present Research Topic will be to gather original research studies and revision papers, performed by the most authoritative research groups that have recently contributed to the broad area of sensory neurobiology. Special attention should be given to contributions addressed to the MOB and AOB cross-talk, involving current neuroanatomical techniques.

Killian Byrne knew better than to let himself fall for a woman he can’t have. But then he laid eyes on Whitney Vanek, his boss’s wife’s best friend, and he fell, hard and fast. Even though she’s off-limits. Even though he’s ten years older than her. Whitney Vanek is a woman who can have any man she wants—except Killian. It doesn’t matter how much she flirts with him, how many hints she drops, how many sexy outfits she wears around him. He never reacts. He barely even notices her. Killian knows a woman like Whitney—gorgeous, smart, and full of life—isn’t for him. He’s too damaged. Too old. Which is why he needs to keep his hands to himself. But for one fleeting moment, Whitney might be a temptation he can’t resist…
