The suffocating walls of her childhood home prompt a desire for change. Abby pins her hopes on an internship at an Irish castle. Maybe there, she can hide from the world. But she is about to discover she is destined for more. Liam is the first to sense it from the moment they touch. Something magical draws Abby to the four men running the program. Each forbidden touch is like wildfire on her skin. Each heated look causes her physical pain. She feels breathless without them near. An awakening, dark power pulses beneath her skin, deepening her dangerous bond with the men. Something or someone wants to hijack the connections she’s forging with the Irish men, all of whom possess magic like her. And as Abby's true nature is awakened, she could heal or destroy everything in her path... Scroll up, grab your copy, and begin your magical love adventure today! What readers are saying about Magic Destiny on other retailers: “A thoroughly ponderous adventure with immortals and witches. You will enjoy it!” “OMG, I love new takes on Celtic mythology.” “I love how the paranormal, folklore and romance is so intertwined that it felt natural and real...” “If you like magic, hot guys and a down to earth type female lead, this one is for you. Loved it.” “I am a fan of paranormal RH and this did not disappoint.” “Story about witches, guardians, and what it takes to save the world from immense evil. Steamy sex and amazing connected characters. Hard to put down. Loved it.” **Book one in a continuing five-book series. A reverse harem, why choose romance. It’s a slow burn, fated mate story where the heroine connects with a different man in each book. She’s unsure, pushy and dangerous, and could be exactly who the moody heroes are looking for. **

Book The Best Kind of Magic

Download or read book The Best Kind of Magic written by Crystal Cestari and published by Little, Brown Books for Young Readers. This book was released on 2017-05-04 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amber Sand is not a witch. The Sand family magical gene somehow leapfrogged over her. But she did get one highly specific bewitching talent: she can see true love. As a matchmaker, Amber's pretty far down the sorcery food chain (even birthday party magicians rank higher), but after five seconds of eye contact, she can envision anyone's soul mate. Amber works at her mother's magic shop -- Windy City Magic -- in downtown Chicago, and she's confident she's seen every kind of happy ending there is: except for one--her own. (The Fates are tricky jerks that way.) So when Charlie Blitzman, the mayor's son and most-desired boy in school, comes to her for help finding his father's missing girlfriend, she's distressed to find herself falling for him. Because while she can't see her own match, she can see his -- and it's not Amber. How can she, an honest peddler of true love, pursue a boy she knows full well isn't her match? The Best Kind of Magic is set in urban Chicago and will appeal to readers who long for magic in the real world. With a sharp-witted and sassy heroine, a quirky cast of mystical beings, and a heady dose of adventure, this novel will have you laughing out loud and questioning your belief in happy endings.

Book When You Can t Believe Your Eyes

Download or read book When You Can t Believe Your Eyes written by Hannah Fairbairn and published by Charles C Thomas Publisher. This book was released on 2019-07-05 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was first projected in 2004, when Author Hannah Fairbairn was teaching interpersonal skills at the Carroll Center for the Blind in Newton, Massachusetts. The experiences of her adult students—and her own experience of sight lost—convinced her that everyone losing vision needs access to good information about the process of adjustment to losing sight and practical ways to use assertive speech. When You Can’t Believe Your Eyes is intended for anyone going through vision loss, their friends, and families. It will inform readers how to get expert professional help, face the trauma of loss, and navigate the world using speech more than sight. Each of the twelve chapters in the book contain many short sections and bullet-point lists, intended to facilitate access to the right information. It begins where you begin—at the doctor’s office or the hospital. Since vision loss takes many forms, there are suggestions for questions you might ask to get a clear diagnosis and the best treatment. Part One also has a description of legal blindness and possible prevention, advice about your job, and tips for life at home. Part Two is about believing in yourself as you deal with the loss, the anger, and the fear before you come up for air and consider training. Parts Three and Four describe using assertive speech and action in all kinds of settings as your independence and confidence increase. Part Five gives detailed information about everything from dating, and caring for babies to senior living, volunteering, and retaining your job. It is hoped that by reading and trying out the suggestions, the reader will recover full confidence, become a positive, assertive communicator, and lead a satisfying life. Because vision loss happens mostly in older years, the book is written with seniors particularly in mind. Professionals will also find it to be a useful resource for their patients.

Filling his bed with random females for his panther’s pleasure isn’t enough anymore.

Book excerpt: Wolves are natural born hunters...but this time, we’re the prey. I never expected to find a second mate. When my first mate didn’t immediately kill him, I was hopeful—only to have those hopes dashed when their packs turned against us. We were deemed unnatural. A threat. Something to be destroyed. Now we’re on the run with nowhere to hide. As if that’s not enough, my old alpha’s obsession with me hasn’t ended. News of my unusual relationship must have reached him by now, but I know he won’t give up. I need to figure out what having more than one mate means. The fates don’t do that kind of thing lightly, so it’s up to the three of us to find out why we were chosen. An oracle is our only hope, a wise woman who can help us, but only if we can get to her before either of the packs find us. And, hopefully, without me mating with any more wolves on the way...

Los Cerros is famous for its fairy village and its supposedly welcoming attitude toward magical beings like Ray, but Ray is one of only two beings on the police force. While dealing with human prejudice, Ray and his partner have to solve crimes relating to magic, and are forced to rely on the department's part-time magical consultants, something Ray tries to avoid--and not only because werewolves are uncomfortable around magic.Enter Cal Parker, the son of the department's most admired detective. Cal is brilliant, contemptuous of the police, and half-fairy. He's also Ray's mate, a fact that Ray has kept secret despite his every instinct screaming for him to claim and worship, because weres mate for life, and fairies... don't. Everyone knows that. Fairies are beautiful, flighty, and fickle.But perhaps it's not only the humans who have prejudice about beings. Cal isn't shy about his desire for Ray--not that fairies ever are--and Ray's resistance is crumbling. But the situation is growing more dangerous as they get closer to the killer, and by the time Ray accepts the truth of a fairy's heart, it might be too late.A Being(s) in Love StoryMagical creatures known as beings emerged from hiding amid the destruction of the First World War. Since then they've lived on the margins of the human world as misunderstood objects of fear and desire. Some are beautiful, others fearsome and powerful.

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
