Book excerpt: A cannibal wasteland isn't the ideal place to fall in love... Eily lost everything in her pursuit of safety, including her twin sister. Now she lives a life of atonement within the walls of the Holdout, tolerated but not accepted because of her green skin and savage past. When news arrives that her sister may still be alive, she's offered a chance to rescue her—all she has to do is deliver a deadly plague to the very people she once called family. As a trader, Jubal only avoids two things: slave trading and the green-skinned Flame Runnas. Unfortunately, he's forced to seek out both after a cannibal king takes his father hostage and demands Jubal bring back a green-skinned slave as ransom. The impossible mission is sure to end in Jubal's death, until sweet, green-skinned Eily makes his task far easier than it should be. As Eily and Jubal travel across the poisonous countryside, they discover they have more in common than they first imagined, and Eily must decide how much of the peace she clings to is nothing more than an illusion. With a father’s life at stake on one side and a sister’s on the other, someone is going to have to lose. And they both risk losing their hearts in the process.

When a prisoner who is obviously not a cannibal arrives in Tula's lab speaking a language she's never heard before, she's intrigued. His gentle but firm refusal to be genetically modified makes her question for the first time the Protectorate's policy of euthanizing anyone who won't convert. But the law is clear; savages who refuse the modification must be exterminated. With time running out, will Tula risk everything to save the stranger from execution?

Book excerpt: Humanity is on the brink of extinction in more ways than one. Michael is the smartest of the Fosselite children, trusted to help in his father’s lab. The unconscious green people in there are not human; they are cannibals and must never be allowed to wake up. Although Michael doesn't like clearing the bodies when Father is done, he's determined to be a good boy. Then Tula arrives. She has green skin like the other cannibals, but she doesn't try to bite Michael. In fact, she's the kindest person Michael's ever met. Even Father seems to like her and doesn't strap her down with the others. Michael is delighted to make a new friend. But when Father changes his mind, Michael realizes his obedience has been based on lies. With Tula about to be reaped, Michael is forced to choose between a lifetime of obedience to family and his own new moral compass. The end result will impact a lot more than just his life inside the Fosselite mountain. It will change the future of humanity.

Book excerpt: Do you believe in fate? Enjoy this Alaskan double feature full of magic, fur, and fangs as sinfully hot shifters come face-to-face with human women they can't resist. Set includes Untamed Instinct and Bewitched Shifter. Excerpt: Darcy had no idea how sheÕd been lucky enough to have two predators decide to duke it out with each other instead of have her for a snack, but she wasnÕt about to complain as she crept away. The sound of battle had ceased, and for a moment, she held still listening. Was it too much to hope theyÕd forgotten she was here? Maybe she should just crawl away so they wouldnÕt see her over the bushes. She lifted her head, searching for the tree line. Her gaze connected with the tawny golden eyes of the mountain lion. He crouched less than an armÕs length away, muzzle stained crimson and one ear torn. She jolted backward, toppling onto her backside like a crab. This is it. The end. No one would even find her body because the lion would drag her off and eat her. The lion prowled forward, a deep purr vibrating the air. His golden eyes mesmerized her, and her heart thundered so hard, she couldnÕt breathe. She found herself unable to look away. He stepped forward slowly, gracefully, until his front paws straddled her. She was forced to lie back to avoid bumping noses. Barely breathing, she lay beneath him, the heat of his body radiating against her. ÒN-nice kitty,Ó she whispered. He continued purring, lowering his face to rub his cheek against hers. She cringed, expecting fangs. Only the rough prickle of his whiskers rubbed her skin. With trembling hands, she pushed his head away, the tawny fur lush and soft against her palms. The big cat responded by purring louder. His golden eyes held an intelligence she hadnÕt expected. Why wasnÕt he tearing into her? Could he be somebodyÕs pet? She dug her fingers into the thick fur and the tight fear in her chest eased a bit. A long rough tongue snaked out to taste her throat, sending a surprisingly sensual shiver through her. She lay perfectly still as the lion moved down her body, snuffling and licking and rubbing. Was he marking her? She knew nothing about mountain lions. He lifted a wide paw and placed it on her belly, kneading gently without baring his claws. Her skin quivered under the touch. He nudged his head up the inside of her thigh until he reached her center, hot breath penetrating her jeans. She gasped, belly tightening around unexpected butterflies. Oh, God. SheÕd never had a fetish for animals, but this lionÉ The cat lifted his head, intelligent gaze connecting to hers. He seemed to be considering. After several heartbeats, the air between them shimmered. The catÕs features grew hazy, muzzle flattening and ears receding. The furry hide smoothed, and the limbs lengthened. Within moments, the beast was replaced by a tawny-haired, golden-eyed man kneeling between her legs. His hands were planted on the ground on either side of her thighs, every naked square inch of him rippling with muscle. In a voice like a roll of thunder, he asked, ÒWhy do you reek of catnip?Ó

Download or read book Thoreau a Naturalist s Liberty written by John Hildebidle and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Hildebidle reintroduces us to Thoreau as natural history writer, bringing fresh insight to Walden, Cape Cod, and the later nature pieces--both published and unpublished--and the tradition of nature writing as well. Hildebidle examines Thoreau's attitude toward history and science, demonstrating that he manages to use "secondhand" material while insisting that only firsthand experience has any value. Although sharing the naturalist's eye and methods, Thoreau never rests in the role of observer and collector. Hildebidle sees Thoreau as representative of a long-standing American tendency simultaneously to reject and to use the past, and shows how, as naturalist, he brought together science and literary aims. This gracefully written analysis of Thoreau's thinking and style will well serve all readers of Thoreau and those interested in natural history as a genre.
