In war and love, all men have secrets. Javohir lost everything in the war. His mother died in its beginning, and right before the dragons forced a treaty between the dwarves and the humans who sought to take the wealth of their mountains, Javohir watched his brother die by a sadistic sorcerer. Struggling in the aftermath, love is the last thing he wants. Especially to fall in love with a druid, one of the few types of magic users to stay neutral during the war. But he hadn't prepared for Eoghan.Eoghan avoided people. A brand on his spine from an ex-lover and a path of dead bodies by that same man's hand told him the exact cost of his freedom, but if he must be alone, Eoghan will do the best he can with what he have - working hard to heal the forests and fields most hurt by the war.He couldn't afford love. Whoever grew close always ended up dead, so when he saw the handsome, gruff dwarf making the first merchant trek from the mountain since the war began, Eoghan intended to stay as far away as possible. A den of newborn wolf pups forced his hand, and touch-starved, Eoghan fumbled into a friendship too good to be true.When the knots of their past turn out to be more entwined than either could have predicted, will these two wounded men find true love? Or will their secrets tear them apart?

Book Description
With his raven hair and snow-white skin, Lord Ansil Eirwin draws unwanted attention wherever he goes. After his father's untimely death, Ansil is set to become Duke of Ravenswood on his next birthday. The gallant and timid lord would never dream of shirking responsibility, so he subverts his desires in order to please his mother and new stepfather, Reginald.Orien Moore, known as the Huntsman, lives on the fringes and has forsaken close bonds with anyone, even the misfits he has taken in. When Orien is called upon by his brother, Reginald, to kill the pampered future duke, it is the perfect opportunity to seek revenge against his power-hungry brother. Orien formulates a plan to use Reginald's vicious request to his advantage by kidnapping Ansil and holding him hostage until he can fulfill his birthright.Soon Orien realizes that Ansil is nothing like he'd expected. Kind and joyful, Ansil enchants Orien and his ragtag group. And Ansil, in turn, cannot help but be curious about the gruff huntsman as Orien's vulnerabilities are exposed. Their mutual interest transforms into affection, followed by overwhelming desire. But they are living on borrowed time.With Reginald seeking power in Ravenswood, they have no way of knowing what will transpire once Orien returns Ansil to his proper place in society. The only certainty is that the odds are stacked against them. Will the young lord and his huntsman ever have the chance to experience the happily ever after they've found in each other's arms?***PLEASE NOTE: FOREVER MOORE is a romantic fairy tale-minus the magic-that features one reluctant lord, one brooding huntsman, and plenty of angsty, forbidden love. It's loosely based on a treasured fairy tale in a make-believe setting that isn't part of any specific time period and doesn't play by any traditional rules. (less)

Book Description
Her kiss will rock his world... Dragon shifter Rhys believes in what he can hold in his talons. A chef with his own restaurant, he is organized, practical, and distrusts surprises. When his firestorm sparks in the realm of Fae, he's sure it's an illusion created by the Dark Queen and a trap. Even though he wants a partner and family again more than anything else, Rhys isn't going to be seduced by a fake destined mate—even if the kiss of that beautiful selkie melts his very soul and is one temptation he can't resist... Selkie Lila learned long ago that her independence is her most precious possession. But Rhys challenges everything she believes to be true about mortals—he defends her right to choose, even at his own peril, and that's more seductive than Lila wants to admit. Is it just a trick to convince her to bear his son? Or is this Pyr warrior as honorable as he appears to be? When an ancient and evil dragon prince joins forces with the Dark Queen to eliminate both the Pyr and the selkies, Rhys and Lila must work together to save their kinds—and each other. When they plunge into unknown realms with only each other to rely upon, will their combined abilities be enough to triumph—or will they have to surrender more for their unborn son and the chance of a future together? *** The DragonFate Novels continue the story of Deborah's dragon shape shifting heroes called the Pyr. Each book is a romance in which a dragon shifter meets his destined mate—in DragonFate, those heroines have powers of their own. Maeve's Book of Beasts is a prequel to DragonFate that introduces both Maeve's evil plan to eliminate paranormal species from the world (including the Pyr) and the cast of characters assembling to defeat her. In it, you'll meet Sebastian, a vampire who has escaped Maeve and is building the team to destroy her, and Sylvia, the mortal librarian he chooses to hide the ancient volume stolen from Maeve. Sebastian gets more than he expects from Sylvia—never mind that Maeve wants her book back—and Sebastian's slow-burn romance with Sylvia will arc over the entire series. The other slow burn romance in this series features Mel, an immortal fae who needs to find true love to break the curse placed upon her. She's haunted by her late husband, Raymond, who betrayed her but wants to make it right. You can read Mel and Raymond's story, a romance that doesn't end happily and a retelling of a medieval French fairy tale, in Claire Delacroix's An Elegy for Melusine. The DragonFate series so far: 1.

Book Description
The solar system most of us grew up with included nine planets, with Mercury closest to the sun and Pluto at the outer edge. Then, in 2005, astronomer Mike Brown made the discovery of a lifetime: a tenth planet, Eris, slightly bigger than Pluto. But instead of adding one more planet to our solar system, Brown’s find ignited a firestorm of controversy that culminated in the demotion of Pluto from real planet to the newly coined category of “dwarf” planet. Suddenly Brown was receiving hate mail from schoolchildren and being bombarded by TV reporters—all because of the discovery he had spent years searching for and a lifetime dreaming about. A heartfelt and personal journey filled with both humor and drama, How I Killed Pluto and Why It Had It Coming is the book for anyone, young or old, who has ever imagined exploring the universe—and who among us hasn’t?
