Book Description
Inara’s hiding place has become a safer, less tropical version of the Flowery Isle. She’s secure in a realm she understands but still trapped. Aaron’s need to protect her is borderline militant and she’s starting to question if he should have helped free her at all. Her Siren side grows daily: a malevolence filling her with impulses she’s too afraid to admit. It’s getting painful to hide from everyone and she’s riddled with guilt at the deception. But she’s terrified the icy darkness will eclipse her sunlight and Aaron will see the monster she’s become. She questions their relationship for this reason. He’s risking his life for her when all he knows are the parts, she’s allowing him to see. Nobody understands what she’s going through, until Dante. He’s the only one who can empathise with her problems because he has them too. She can be herself around him without fear of judgement and it’s a relief to finally have a friend she can talk to. When her past finally catches up with her, Dante is the one that picks up the pieces. He shelters her from the brewing storm but she can’t bring herself to love him the way he wants. The only love she needs is the one she never asked for and least expected, and she’ll protect it until her dying breath.

Book Description
Strangled by fits of madness, Marjaneh fell from royalty to the depths of society. Becoming a slave to the king of Arubara, she lost all hope due to her uncontrolled outrages. No chance for happiness came her way until the one-eyed stranger, Sleuth Tau, arrived. Sleuth and his one-legged brother, Alexander Tau joined the navy to fight off the pirates that killed their father and brother, enslaving their sisters. Among their tactics, they began a massive slave uprising, hoping to defeat the slavers that raided the coasts. Their fame as warriors spread along the pirate coast as they sought to end piracy, but Alexander disagreed with the methods used by his brother in bringing about this end. Do the ends really justify the means, or can the method corrupt the ideal? Argument over this issue eventually destroyed what remained of their family. In exile, Sleuth is recruited by Marjanehs owner to defend his besieged and corrupted city against certain doom. Can Sleuth Tau find redemption in Arubara, or is he lost to the violence of the sea forever?

**BURN IT DOWN is a re-release. It was originally published in 2014 as PLAYING WITH FIRE.** He is the monster in the shadows. The alpha phoenix who can light the whole world on fire, and he will…for her. Dante is the oldest phoenix alive—and the most powerful. He’s escaped from Genesis, and he’s determined to seek vengeance on all those who tortured him. Except…in the tattered remains of his memory, there is one person who calls out to him, Cassandra “Cassie” Armstrong. The daughter of his worst enemy, Dante should want to destroy her. He doesn’t. He just wants her. He wants to possess her—body and soul. What a phoenix wants… He knows that Cassie belongs to him. Beyond reason, beyond sanity, he just knows. And when a phoenix finds his mate, there is nothing he will not do to possess her. But Dante isn’t the only one hunting Cassie. Danger from the past stalks them both. Another man is determined to capture Cassie, and Dante will not let that happen. Let the fire burn. He hasn’t survived hell over and over again only to lose the woman destined to be his mate. Dante will take any risk, fight any battle, in order to claim her. Cassie has secrets, and so does he, but no one will tear them apart. And in order to keep Cassie safe, Dante will truly set the world on fire for her. Author’s Note: Get ready for the alpha of all shifters. Dante is a powerful immortal who will burn down the world in order to protect the one woman who is meant to be his. BURN IT DOWN was first released by Kensington Publishing in 2014 (the original title was PLAYING WITH FIRE), and I am very happy to be able to bring this story back to readers once again. The phoenix shifters are hot, hot, hot, and I hope you enjoy the Phoenix Fury world.

Book Description
Property will cost us the earth The science on climate change has been clear for a very long time now. Yet despite decades of appeals, mass street protests, petition campaigns, and peaceful demonstrations, we are still facing a booming fossil fuel industry, rising seas, rising emission levels, and a rising temperature. With the stakes so high, why haven't we moved beyond peaceful protest? In this lyrical manifesto, noted climate scholar (and saboteur of SUV tires and coal mines) Andreas Malm makes an impassioned call for the climate movement to escalate its tactics in the face of ecological collapse. We need, he argues, to force fossil fuel extraction to stop--with our actions, with our bodies, and by defusing and destroying its tools. We need, in short, to start blowing up some oil pipelines. Offering a counter-history of how mass popular change has occurred, from the democratic revolutions overthrowing dictators to the movement against apartheid and for women's suffrage, Malm argues that the strategic acceptance of property destruction and violence has been the only route for revolutionary change. In a braided narrative that moves from the forests of Germany and the streets of London to the deserts of Iraq, Malm offers us an incisive discussion of the politics and ethics of pacifism and violence, democracy and social change, strategy and tactics, and a movement compelled by both the heart and the mind. Here is how we fight in a world on fire.

Book Description
This book is a collection of poems written on napkins and in notebooks. In a way, the poems wrote themselves. The poems were written as a way of maintaining my mental balance and as a means of exercising frustrated desires. I have indulged myself in considering loves lost. Then I would amuse myself with a poem or two written in a humorous vein. Some poems are dark, and others are lighthearted. It is hoped that the enclosed poems will provide the same mood-changing service for the reader as they have provided to your author.

Book Description
A vampire wishes upon a falling star and ends up with more than he bargained for. When he attempts to rescue a woman in distress, he soon learns she’s not quite human and not a huntress–or at least like any he’s ever known. That’s when the seduction begins–but who is seducing whom? Tristina isn’t a huntress in the normal sense. Before meeting the vampire who would rescue her from danger, she never thought anyone could love her for herself. Now, just maybe she’s found the right man for her. Sardis wants nothing more than a vacation from his ponderous role as prince of the New York vampire clans, but ends up having anything but a peaceful time while staying at a beach resort when he meets the most enticing siren. Trouble doesn’t even begin to describe the new world he finds himself in as he tries to seduce her, and he falls under her siren’s spell instead.

But I can't forget. High school is a torment, and my newfound ability to sense thoughts pushes everyone away, except Ash—a heartthrob hallucination turned real—who claims I'm a long-lost siren princess. As strange events unfold, my parents are kidnapped, and Ash becomes my protector, though doubt lingers. The hockey team's captain seeks more than friendship, and my life spirals out of control.
