Book Description
Zavier "Cade" McCade, former Army Special Forces and creator of Custos Securities, finds himself in a situation he never thought he'd be in-he's fallen in love with Braden Cross, the gorgeous pastry chef he's guarding. Cade has lived his life as a protector: of his country, his family and friends, his clients, and now, the man he's in love with. He thrives in dangerous and stressful situations. But nothing could prepare him for Braden's decision to put himself in danger. After a vicious attack from his stalker leaves Braden fighting for his life, Cade will stop at nothing to see the man responsible punished. Time passes, but Braden's attacker hasn't given up and Cade's afraid he never will. As Cade and the most trusted members of Custos Securities track Braden's assailant, Braden struggles to rebuild his life and re-establish the fragile trust he and Cade had worked so hard to build. Braden knows if he's going to survive the chaos surrounding him, he's going to have to give Cade everything he has-mind, body, and soul. More determined than ever to hunt down the man that nearly killed the love of his life, Cade will do everything in his power to ensure that he and Braden will be able to live the life of their dreams with nothing and no one standing in their way. Meanwhile, hidden just out of their reach, an increasingly deranged stalker watches...and waits.

Book Description
When a wager goes wrong… Painfully shy Jane Huxley is the furthest thing from a diamond of the first water. Bookish, bespectacled, and, well, plain, she never expected to befriend a dissolute charmer like Colin Lacey, much less agree to help him retrieve a lost family heirloom. Fortunately, he is nothing like his cold, rigid older brother. Unfortunately, he is not above deception if it means winning a wager. And that puts Jane in a most precarious position. A formidable duke will marry a plain Jane… For Harrison Lacey, the Duke of Blackmore, protecting his family honor is not a choice, it is a necessity. So, when his cad of a brother humiliates the unwitting Lady Jane, Harrison must make it right, even if it means marrying the chit himself. And a marriage of convenience will become so much more… Her reputation hanging by a thread, Jane agrees to wed the arrogant Duke of Blackmore, although she’s convinced it will result in frostbite. Only after lingering glances lead to devastating kisses does she begin to suspect the truth: Perhaps—just perhaps—her duke is not as cold as he appears.

Warning: For Mature Adult Audiences. Contains language and actions some may deem offensive. Sexually explicit content. MFM In book two of the Wolf Pack: Kit Wolf’s magic skills are both a blessing and a curse, and it doesn’t seem her life is going to be any more ordered anytime soon. Between a wild and wacky Granny whose wardrobe would embarrass a Shriner, to a mother with an aversion to having her picture taken that borders on a DSMIV diagnosis, and a demon trying to recruit her, Kit barely has enough focus to care for herself, let alone worry about two newborns. Then with all of the chaos swirling around her, what is she most befuddled by? Her sexual Dominant husbands’ newfound penchant for vanilla sex. The pack Alphas, Jameson and Trevlon Wolf are treating their mate like a piece of fragile crystal and Kit can’t seem to focus on anything but finding the freedom their Dominance once brought her. For Jameson and Trevlon Wolf, life has never been more complicated or perfect. Finding their mate was only the beginning because babies, wild in-laws, an endangered teen, and revelations about their best friend and mentor have the two pack Alphas scrambling just to keep their chins above water. But magic has a way of pushing itself to the front, particularly when you are looking the other way. When a young wizard needs their protection, he quickly becomes a thread of gold weaving his way into their hearts and lives, but keeping him safe isn’t going to be easy. His connections to the Wolf Pack and their circle of friends seems to be a never ending outward ripple, but the dark forces haven’t hesitated to kill anyone protecting Braden, so sheltering him is an enormous risk. However, regaining lost ground with their lovely submissive is what holds the keys to Jameson and Trevlon’s hearts and the future of the pack.

Meddling in the Ballot Box
Author: Dov H. Levin
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0197519903
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 321
Book Description
Why do world powers sometimes try to determine who wins an election in another country? What effects does such meddling have on the targeted elections results? Great powers have attempted for centuries to intervene in elections occurring in other states through various covert and overt methods, with the American intervention in the 2013 Kenyan elections and the Russian intervention in the 2016 US elections being just two recent examples. Indeed, the Americans and the Soviets/Russians intervened in one out of every nine national-level executive elections between 1946 and 2000. Meddling in the Ballot Box is the first book to provide a comprehensive analysis of foreign meddling in elections from the dawn of the modern era to the 2016 Russian intervention in the US election. Dov Levin shows that partisan electoral interventions are usually an "inside job" occurring only if a significant domestic actor within the target wants it. Likewise, a great power will not intervene unless it fears that its interests are endangered by an opposing party or candidate with very different preferences. He also finds that partisan electoral interventions frequently have significant effects on the results--sufficient in many situations to determine the winner. Such interference also tends to be more effective when it is conducted overtly. However, it is usually ineffective, if not counterproductive, when done in a founding election. A revelatory account that explains why major powers have meddled so frequently across the entire postwar era, Meddling in the Ballot Box also provides us with a framework for assessing the cyber-future of interference.
