Book Description
*A Bestselling Amazon Series* Although Angels and Assassins is a series, each book is written to be read as a STANDALONE. Some men fall in love. Others are destroyed by it. When Julien Hunter is recruited out of college as an elite asset for a pseudo-anarchist group, he expects for it to be simple--the occasional challenge, a good payday, the stroking of his rebellious ego, and the occasional beautiful face in his bed whenever he has to go covert. But then, he sees her, Ari Johnson, and everything he's ever known is ground into dust. He and Ari spend the evening together in her hotel suite, and although Julien knows he has to leave or risk compromising a mission, he can't get Ari out of his head. When they run into each other again, Julien is a different man, a hardened man after having spent the last several months undergoing a training to be part of a counterterrorism ghost unit. A training that nearly costs him his life. So, this time, he takes chase. He won't let Ari go and nothing--no one--will stop him from making her a permanent part of his life. But the life he's built is dangerous. The enemies he's made are focused only on one thing--exterminate him and everyone attached to him. So when he gets a phone call that changes his life, threatens the very world he is trying to build with the love of his life, he will do anything to punish those responsible...in the worst way possible...

Book Description
A thrilling story of scientific detective work and medical potential that illuminates the newly understood role of microglia—an elusive type of brain cell that is vitally relevant to our everyday lives. “The rarest of books: a combination of page-turning discovery and remarkably readable science journalism.”—Mark Hyman, MD, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Food: What the Heck Should I Eat? NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY WIRED Until recently, microglia were thought to be helpful but rather boring: housekeeper cells in the brain. But a recent groundbreaking discovery has revealed that they connect our physical and mental health in surprising ways. When triggered—and anything that stirs up the immune system in the body can activate microglia, including chronic stressors, trauma, and viral infections—they can contribute to memory problems, anxiety, depression, and Alzheimer’s. Under the right circumstances, however, microglia can be coaxed back into being angelic healers, able to make brain repairs in ways that help alleviate symptoms and hold the promise to one day prevent disease. With the compassion born of her own experience, award-winning journalist Donna Jackson Nakazawa illuminates this newly understood science, following practitioners and patients on the front lines of treatments that help to “reboot” microglia. In at least one case, she witnesses a stunning recovery—and in others, significant relief from pressing symptoms, offering new hope to the tens of millions who suffer from mental, cognitive, and physical health issues. Hailed as a “riveting,” “stunning,” and “visionary,” The Angel and the Assassin offers us a radically reconceived picture of human health and promises to change everything we thought we knew about how to heal ourselves.

While phoning for help to get him into the hospital for treatment, Gage makes one last declaration that sends a chill straight to her bones: "Just let me die, love." Determined to save his life, Tayler helps Gage get through what he'd intended to be his last night alive. To return the favor, Gage offers to head a home remodel project for a house bequeathed to her by one of her patient's late great-grandfather. However, when he encounters something in the woods, something that acts very much like a predator with its sights set on Tayler, he realizes that what he now owes her is worth much more than a renovation.

What kind of assassin works pro bono? It’s hard to be a badass assassin when a giant is beating the crap out of you. Luckily, I never let pride get in the way of my work. My current mission is personal: annihilate Mab Monroe, the Fire elemental who murdered my family. Which means protecting my identity, even if I have to conceal my powerful Stone and Ice magic when I need it most. To the public, I’m Gin Blanco, owner of Ashland’s best barbecue joint. To my friends, I’m the Spider, retired assassin. I still do favors on the side. Like ridding a vampire friend of her oversized stalker—Mab’s right-hand goon who almost got me dead with his massive fists. At least irresistible Owen Grayson is on my side. The man knows too much about me, but I’ll take my chances. Then there’s Detective Bria Coolidge, one of Ashland’s finest. Until recently, I thought my baby sister was dead. She probably thinks the same about me. Little does she know, I’m a cold-blooded killer . . . who is about to save her life.

Book Description
Helena thought her life was over when the stranger attacked … now, in order to survive, she must learn to adapt to a perilous new life, and leave everything she’s ever known behind. The Angel Series Boxed Set contains Books 1-3 of the Angel Series plus a Bonus Short Story. Angel's Kiss - Book 1 Not mortal, not vampire ... what is she? With a mob contract on her head, Helena has kept a low profile, trying to survive by living off the streets. Numb with cold and near starvation, she awaits death in an abandoned house, and gets more than she bargained for, in the form of a vampire. When an angel -- Danizriel -- alive and the vampire dead. Intrigued, he shelters her and together they discover that she has become something neither of them expected. Their growing attraction is soon threatened when news of Helena's unnatural abilities quickly spreads. She becomes the target of a deadly hunt by vampires and Danizriel is placed in an impossible situation when he is told he must kill her. With overwhelming forces closing in, Helena and Danizriel face death from all directions. Who will live and who will die? Angel's Curse - Book 2 What lengths would you go to for revenge? Helena is furious beyond belief. She can't forgive the angels for what they did to her, and Danizriel -- one of their own kind -- who sought only to help her. Now she's out for revenge. A coordinated blitz takes place on the solstice and thousands of vampires lay waste to the angelic host, in an attack orchestrated by Helena. In exchange for her help she receives three weapons from the time of the fall -- powerful enough to destroy archangels. With three archangels down and one to go, Helena gambles with her soul to pull off the kind of bluff that even Satan might fall for. If she loses, the devil takes it all. Angel's Messiah - Book 3 Would you risk everything, for salvation? Helena -- part earth-bound angel, part vampire -- is pregnant, and it's playing havoc with her unique abilities. Her usual diet of vampire blood makes her physically ill, one minute she's visible the next she's not, and she's suffering from blackouts. After yet another blackout, Helena finds herself back in Satan's clutches. This time there is no way for her to escape on her own, and a dangerous rescue mission ends with Helena going into labour prematurely. Helena's child is born and all too soon must leave her to deliver a message to the mortal world. But the last time someone was sent with a message, it didn't end well ... The Sands of Time - Bonus Short Story Angels. Corruption. Death. Father Time has been tending the hourglasses in the Halls of Time for what seems like eternity. When the sand in one of the hourglasses changes colour, and stops flowing, he doesn't know what to do. This has never happened before. Is it an omen that the end is nigh, or something else entirely?
