Book Description
"Do you not like my tongue on you?" Dhareus: My mom has grandbaby fever. She won’t get off my back about wanting me to settle down! It’s only gotten worse since I had to call off my wedding with my gold-digging ex. Mother believes my evil ex’s lies and wants me to get back together with her. But I don’t want to ever trust Xelpria— or any other woman!— ever again. I avoid relationships and only have one-night-stands now. And as a successful, attractive minotaur, there are plenty to be had. But my realm's Winter Solstice ball is coming up and Mother has her heart set on me going with Lady Xelpria. My best friend suggests I tell my mom there’s someone new in my life, and bring her to the ball at the castle with me as my fake fianceé. That way my new “relationship status” will be very clear to both my mom and my ex. And hopefully both of them will leave me alone about us getting back together! We're talking about this at a pub, when a human baker overhears. She just happens to be the very same gorgeous, curvy goddess I can’t stop fantasizing about! And she agrees to play the role for me after my friend suggests it. Now I have a solution to my ex problem, but I might have a new one. Because I might be falling for Camilia, my fake fiancée. And I don’t fall for anyone — do I?? Gads — could she even accommodate the size of me? Or am I lusting after something that's physically impossible? Whatever the case, she stirs the beast in me, and I will possess her beauty.

Book Description
Punishing Thirst - Grumpy Hero Dante Drago saves the day — for a price — he demands Savanna López stand in as his Fake Fiancé in this steamy Mafia Romance. Dante: She needs rescuing, but the very thought of having Savanna caged up, beholden to me, makes my pulse quicken and certain parts of my anatomy swell. From the second I meet her, I know I’ll devour her faster than a piece of the delicious carrot cake she makes. She’s on the run. I’ll keep her secret, but she owes me one. She’ll be under my lock and key, except for her shifts at the bakery. The only problem with my plan is that it backfires. Now she has my baby inside her, and there are two people to look after instead of one. Lord knows, I’m no angel. But I have to defend her, and keep our baby safe. Commanding Thirst - Made Man, Antonio Drago forgot most of what he learned in school — but bookworm Daphne Pruitt swallows him up heart and soul in this second chance, mafia romance. Antonio: Ever since walking her home every day from school, I fell hard for her. It was wrong then, but now she’s of age. And she needs my help again. Her sister’s in deep with the Cartel, and has gone missing. Right on schedule, it’s Daphne’s job to save her. It’s time someone took care of my baby girl for a change. I never professed to be above bribery, and I'm a dark devil after all, because once I specify my demands I can no longer resist her. Right then I know I’ll shock the hell out of her like I’ve been wanting to do since that first day I walked her home from high school. There. I admitted it. I’m a rotten scoundrel. The question is, will she forgive me? Obsessive Thirst - An Italian mobster. A missing fiancé. A forbidden obsession he cannot resist. Enzo Drago: I watch her like a hawk. Someone has to. My best friend’s daughter has a knack for getting herself into trouble. Turns out, protecting her isn’t as easy as I expected. She doesn’t realize I’m obsessed with her. Watching over her when she has no clue I’m there. Taking photos to stare at later on, privately, satisfying my urges while looking at her hot pics. My vow to keep my hands off her is impossible when she follows me around like a lost puppy. Does she tempt me on purpose? Or is that the wishful thinking of a beaten and battered, middle-aged gangster? Tessa’s clueless about how much trouble her outstanding debt to the Dragos will bring. I kept them at bay as long as I could, but we’re not running a charity operation here. Crazy chemistry aside, I’m the wrong guy for her — a monster disguised in an expensive suit. But no matter how hard I try to resist, I can’t stop thinking of making her my toy. Showing her the rules of my game. Risking just one touch to fulfill a forever fantasy. She is sunshine and I am darkness, and I assumed I controlled the stakes between us. But now Tessa’s in real trouble. You can bet your life on it, there’s going to be hell to pay. Captive Thirst - A cartel princess in disguise. An attempted kidnapping. One arranged marriage to strengthen the crime family syndicate. Carlos Drago: Her scent gave her away. Pure female. She hid her true identity, so she could race my colt, and I’ll be damned if she didn’t win. When enemies tried to snatch her up and stuff her in a trunk, I drove them off and took her home. The problem is, she makes me feel. Gabriela has no idea about my plans for us both, and when she finds out, that spark in her smile that I love so much might go away. Ours will be a marriage that unites our families. The very thought of her unhappiness makes this fearsome soldier, whose body is a deadly weapon, deeply, irrevocably afraid. I can’t lose her. Though my hands are scarred with murder, I lull her to sleep every night and kiss her eyes. She is my weakness. Despite being stronger than iron, I cannot resist her. When trouble comes looking for her, I hunt it down. She’s my family now. Nobody hurts my family and lives. No one. This Juicy Mafia Romance box set is full of super possessive, hot heroes who stop at nothing to protect their girl. This complete set of stand-alone books in the Rough Redemption Series are complete with HEAs, no cheating or cliffhangers.

Book Description
27-year-age gap? He makes me feel too good for it to be bad. I just want to make daddy, err my employer, happy. Duke is my boss; I shall not want. He maketh me lie down with wicked thoughts. He restoreth my faith in the male species: making up for all the groping, immature men my age, and he guides me down the path of being his good girl simply so he’ll smile at me. For now, that means serving breakfast at five a.m., but in my mind, there is more. So. Much. More. Yea, though I obsess about walking through the valley of sin, trying so hard, and failing, to remember the rules. He’s turning me into a thing I’ve never been — a people pleaser. I will fear no evil: for my smoking hot boss is with me. Twice my age... this could never work. Only, OH how I want his rod and his staff to comfort me, the much younger and not-so-innocent country girl with a sassy mouth that gets her into trouble. And he, a fifty-five-year-old cowboy with huge...hands. Now that I’ve had a taste of what it’s like to be with a real man, a man like my crush, my cup runneth over. I can never go back to the way things used to be. Pretending everything is innocent between us. I promised myself I’d focus on work and avoid the small-town gossip which hounds me like a tick on a dog. Only I can’t wait another minute to convince him I’m not as innocent as I seem. Then one day, after my fierce protector comes to my rescue, it seems the only dish being served up at his eatery... is me. ★This age-gap romance by USA Best Seller, Olivia Fox, includes a good girl who knows when to be bad, and is a stand-alone read. Transport yourself into the charming and magical town of Briarville and beyond.

The Body in Balance
Author: Peregrine Horden
Publisher: Berghahn Books
ISBN: 085745983X
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 300
Book Description
Focusing on practice more than theory, this collection offers new perspectives for studying the so-called “humoral medical traditions,” as they have flourished around the globe during the last 2,000 years. Exploring notions of “balance” in medical cultures across Eurasia, Africa and the Americas, from antiquity to the present, the volume revisits “harmony” and “holism” as main characteristics of those traditions. It foregrounds a dynamic notion of balance and asks how balance is defined or conceptualized, by whom, for whom and in what circumstances. Balance need not connoteegalitarianism or equilibrium. Rather, it alludes to morals of self care exercised in place of excessiveness and indulgences after long periods of a life in dearth. As the moral becomes visceral, the question arises: what constitutes the visceral in a body that is in constant flux and flow? How far, and in what ways, are there fundamental properties or constituents in those bodies?
