Book Description
Sabine Dubois has left one nightmare for another… Quitting her stressful job with the head office and retreating to her family’s branch of the business was supposed to take away from her stress. Instead, on her first night back on the job, reaping souls and taking names, she’s faced with a client whose soul won’t tear from his body. Her ledger clearly says, reap Kyle Riley. But he’s not dead. He’s not alive, but he’s not dead. And now she’s got a body with a very talkative, very angry spirit in her SUV headed to the parish where her Voodoo priestess aunt lives. Her aunt takes one look at the body and Kyle’s grouchy, glowering spirit and pronounces him under a curse. One that it’s up to them to break. But as they hunt for the cure, she grows fond of the surly man-ghost who she realizes may or may not have been targeted by the very agency that sent her to collect his soul.

Book Description
Rolly has waited ten years to claim his mate. Now the wait is over, and he's coming home. Rolly has waited patiently for his mate. When he first met Erdwin, the boy was still a child. Rolly felt nothing but compassion for him back then, but Erdwin came of age five years ago, and Rolly's stayed out of his life in order to give Erdwin time to experience life. Erdwin never fit right in his skin. He didn't like what he saw in the mirror. It didn't match how he felt inside. As a shifter, he was stuck with the body he had. Surgery wasn't an option for him. But Erdwin found a way to accept himself—by embracing the part of herself that felt like her true nature. She struggled with it, but with her family's support, she became Edie, the young lady she was meant to be. She stopped worrying about her parts, and concentrated on her heart. When Rolly, a powerful shaman, moves back home to the pack, Edie is transfixed. He makes her nervous—and arouses her. But what would a man like him think of a woman like her? Edie's about to find out, and she will have to be stronger than ever to help fight off a threat to her pack, to her mate, and to her family.

Book Description
Eros: The Myth of Ancient Greek Sexuality is a controversial book that lays bare the meanings Greeks gave to sex. Contrary to the romantic idealization of sex dominating our culture, the Greeks saw eros as a powerful force of nature, potentially dangerous and in need of control by society: Eros the Destroyer, not Cupid the Insipid, is what fired the Greek imagination. The destructiveness of eros can be seen in Greek imagery and metaphor, and in their attitudes toward women and homosexuals. Images of love as fire, disease, storms, insanity, and violence—top 40 song clichés for us—locate eros among the unpredictable and deadly forces of nature. The beautiful Aphrodite embodies the alluring danger of sex, and femmes fatales like Pandora and Helen represent the risky charms of female sexuality. And homosexuality typifies for the Greeks the frightening power of an indiscriminate appetite that threatens the stability of culture itself. In Eros: The Myth of Ancient Greek Seualily, Bruce Thornton offers a uniquely sweeping and comprehensive account of ancient sexuality free of currently fashionable theoretical jargon and pretensions. In its conclusions the book challenges the distortions of much recent scholarship on Greek sexuality. And throughout it links the wary attitudes of the Greeks to our present-day concerns about love, sex, and family. What we see, finally, are the origins of some of our own views as well as a vision of sexuality that is perhaps more honest and mature than our own dangerous illusions.
