Book Description
Cassia has always trusted the Society to make the right choices for her: what to read, what to watch, what to believe. So when Xander's face appears on-screen at her Matching ceremony, Cassia knows with complete certainty that he is her ideal mate . . . until she sees Ky Markham's face flash for an instant before the screen fades to black. The Society tells her it's a glitch, a rare malfunction, and that she should focus on the happy life she's destined to lead with Xander. But Cassia can't stop thinking about Ky, and as they slowly fall in love, Cassia begins to doubt the Society's infallibility and is faced with an impossible choice: between Xander and Ky, between the only life she's known and a path that no one else has dared to follow. Look for CROSSED, the sequel to MATCHED, in Fall 2011! Watch a Video

Book Description
A clandestine society hides the truth about wealthy men around the world. If their secret got out, the whole world would know that these alpha billionaires…are hidden bear shifters. Billionaire Everett Bowen is about to release his revolutionary solar tile that could change the face of green energy, but his womanizing past is coming back to haunt him. He can’t have any shadow over the launch, so he leans on the only person he can trust: his lawyer, Catie Flores, who is an expert at handling delicate situations. She knows all his secrets, except one: his identity as a hidden bear shifter. Catie is closer to him than any other woman, which is why he’s never acted on his attraction for her. He’s been looking for his fated mate for years, and he can’t take the risk that she’ll leave him just like everyone else. Catalina Flores knows she’s supposed to have a social life, but her work at Bowen Enterprises is just too interesting. Her boss, Everett Bowen, is the most infuriating man she’s ever met, especially because she can’t seem to squash her attraction to him. And she’s not the only one who feels that way—sometimes it seems like he’s slept with every woman in New York City other than her. Now, his playboy ways are threatening what they’ve both worked for, even as the friction between them is starting to spark flames of desire. Catalina can come to terms with Everett’s past, but she’ll have to reckon with his secret shifter side if they’ll ever have a future. Around the world, there are powerful men living with a dangerous secret. They're architects, entrepreneurs, playboys at the pinnacle of society. If their secret was revealed, it'd all come crashing down. These men aren't just billionaires, they're also bear shifters. And they pledge their allegiance to the secretive Billionaire Bear Brotherhood. These sexy billionaire bears are too busy living large to look for love. But fate has other plans. Sparks fly when smart, curvy women meet the alpha shifters who are determined to win their mates. Each standalone book features a hot happily-ever-after where dreams come true. The Billionaire Bear Brotherhood series can be read in any order, so find your favorite!

She had gotten into trouble with the influential men in S City because she was drunk, and she had done what she had to do to avoid puncturing that membrane. She had gone to his company, so she had said the word: Love grows over time. However, when they were getting married, they discovered a little secret. This marriage ... Can it go on? Mu Ru Yue: It's the first time I've seen you in my memory, and you just happened to see me in the most miserable state. The second time we met, below the stage, you caught me when I fell the third time, you pulled me up when I fell on the ground ... ... "Why is it that every time I meet you, the one who's out of luck is me? You're the jinx in my life? " Cold: in my impression of the first meeting, let me heart, but also let me heartache. This was the first time he felt this way. Seeing you crying, like a frightened little white rabbit. Seeing you like this, I swear that I will protect you well. The second time we met, you cried again. "I swear, I will avenge you." Why do you make my heart ache every time I see you? "You are my destined woman."

Book Description
In their day, the Anglo-Irish were the ascendant minority--Protestant, loyalist, privileged landholders in a recumbent, rural, and Catholic land. Their world is vanished, but shades of the Anglo-Irish linger in the big-house estates of Ireland and in the imaginative writings of this realm. In this first comprehensive study of their literature, Julian Moynahan rediscovers the unity of their greatest writings, from Maria Edgeworth's Castle Rackrent through Yeats's poetry to Bowen's The Last September and Samuel Beckett's Watt. Throughout he challenges postcolonial assumptions, arguing that the Anglo-Irish since 1800 were indelibly Irish, not mere colonial servants of Imperial Britain. Moynahan begins in 1800 with the Act of Union, when the Anglo-Irish become Irish. Just as the fortunes of this community begin to wane, its literary power unfolds. The Anglo-Irish produce a haunting, memorable body of writings that explore a unique yet always Irish identity and destiny. Moynahan's exploration of the literature reveals women writers--Maria Edgeworth, Edith Somerville, Martin Ross, and Elizabeth Bowen--as a generative and major force in the development of this literary imagination. Along the way, he attends closely to the Gothic and to the mystery writing of C. R. Maturin and J. S. Le Fanu, and provides in-depth revaluations of William Carleton and Charles Lever.
