ISBN:
Category : Fiction

Pages : 567
Book Description
The first three books in The Wolf's Den series. MARKED Fantasy becomes reality if you carry the mark. Chloe Bryant doesn't know what to expect when she enters The Wolf's Den. Drawn to the werewolf tattoo parlor for reasons she can't explain, she soon discovers the sexy man from her dreams isn't a figment of her imagination. Not only is Jackson Donovan real, but he explains the dreams they shared are due to their destined mating. It can't be possible. She's not a werewolf. Even if he swears the mark on her wrist indicates otherwise. Jackson is stunned to discover the beautiful minx from his dreams isn't a full-blooded werewolf but a Halfling. The only way to uncover Chloe's past is to stake a claim to her future. By taking the delectable female into his bed, he'll unlock every secret she has to hide—as well as awaken the passion she's tucked away for too long—by exploring her mind, body, and soul one sweet inch at a time. CHANGED Beta werewolf Declan Schroder knows Rachel Gentry is his mate. The hard-as-nails female is more than he could ask for—intense, clever, and sexy as sin. There's only one problem. Rachel is human and fears his kind. She's receptive to his advances—their sexual chemistry is impossible to deny—until an attack by a rogue werewolf threatens to destroy their newfound bond. As Declan's mating heat rises, he knows he'll do whatever it takes to claim Rachel as his own. To keep her he'll have to love her from dusk to dawn, introducing her to pleasures she's never known. Loving a big, bad wolf is wicked and dangerous, but not in the way she's bound to regret. SOUGHT There can be light in the dark... Shane Heyward left everything behind to find his mate. He struggled for months, following his wolf to her location, guided to a place where supernatural beings exist and thrive—Atrum Hill. Despite being capable of leading his own pack, he chose to join one. When he finds his mate by accident, he's shaken by the truth. Not only is she blind, the wolf within her is completely feral. If he can't help her take control of the beast, she'll have to be destroyed. Luna Lowe was forced to leave her previous pack after she shifted, attacked, and almost killed two members—one of which was her sister. She's ashamed of her behavior, wondering if death is preferable to living alone when the male she believed abandoned her due to her lack of sight arrives. As Shane and Luna come together, he learns her history. His female was wronged, and the insult has to be dealt with swiftly and harshly. As he takes charge and seeks retribution, reverting to his Alpha nature, everything will change—for both of them.

V-Learning
Author: Leonard A. Annetta
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 904813627X
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 192
Book Description
Equally grounded in the research and the practical applications developed by the authors over a number of years, this book shows how virtual learning environments could represent the future of higher education. As academics begin to use environments such as Second Life to reach a broader student audience, this volume offers the distance-learning community (administrators, faculty, and students) a different, yet successful, approach to delivering content over the Internet through 3D virtual learning environments that have the potential to transform higher education. Covering a broad spectrum of frameworks, from commercial multiplayer video games to online learning, the book shows just how powerful these environments can be in the arena of education, and concludes that data-driven practice will ensure almost universal take-up, even among those currently unwilling to use V-learning. The authors provide numerous practical examples of distance learning in its current state of development, as well as making informed predictions about how future environments might evolve. This much-needed book is right at the cutting edge of its subject, and comes at a time when research in both educational gaming and distance learning are converging.
