Readers will be delighted with this imaginative escape, and hoping there's more of the same seduction in the future."--Darque Reviews She's every man's desire and one man's target. Some think of Lifemate Connections as a government approved dating service, meant to keep order in a world where men outnumber women ten to one and only the rich are allowed to bear children. But the fabulously expensive hotel and bar is little more than a sex club where approved singles are required to test potential mates--and anything goes. Shifter Eryn James is beautiful but not wealthy; when the police ask her to act as bait for a serial killer at the hotel, she jumps at the chance to indulge in the decadent world of the privileged class. Her keen sense of smell should protect her. The club is full of security, and the cops have her under constant surveillance. None of that will keep her safe from Grey Stockard . . . a dangerous, mysterious fellow shifter who instantly destroys her willpower and claims her as his own. But even mind-blowing sex and their powerful psychic bond can't erase Eryn's fear that he may be the killer. A man she wants with every ounce of her being. A man she just might end up dying for . . .

Book excerpt: Persephonice is given the mission of distracting the shadow elves who are bound to learn what is blocking their water source before they discover a space ship is sitting in the middle of their river. That's how all the trouble begins. Persephonice is an overseer--an observer and recorder of information about inhabitants of civilized worlds. Only she's lost her lifemate and cannot be an overseer without one. She's given a second chance if she can prove she's worthy if she can survive an inhospitable planet inhabited by elves and other mythical creatures she's only read about, very little of which is known of them except that they constantly battle amongst themselves and are not civilized enough to safely observe. The shadow elf, Dracolin, a warrior given the task of learning what is blocking their water source, doesn't expect to find the most unusual creature he's ever encountered--a red-haired, green-eyed land-bound mermaid. That's only the beginning. She understands and can speak his language, falls off cliffs without injuring herself, and swims like a mermaid--without the fishtail. Everyone is intrigued with her--except some fear her uniqueness and want to destroy her. That is the problem with observing uncivilized worlds.

This Handbook equips the reader with all that we know today in oncology social work about patient and family centered care, distress screening, genetics, survivorship, care coordination, sociocultural and economic diversity, legal and ethical matters, clinical work with adults living with cancer, cancer across the lifespan, their caregivers and families, pediatrics, loss and grief, professional career development, leadership, and innovation.

You should be ashamed of yourself for not sharing with your beloved twin brother," Mitch said, his lips twitched with laughter.She grinned as he walked toward her. He was so busy teasing her he didn't notice the slowly rotating ceiling fan. For all his teasing, she should let him walk into the fan, but his head would break her ceiling fan."Mitch," she said, pointing up at the fan in warning.He ignored her, chattering on about how much she was eating during puberty. He was almost there. "Mitch!" She waved her hand to stop him, waiting for the inevitable ker-chunk."Aargh!" He bellowed and his eyes bugged out. Ducking at the last minute, he neatly avoided the thin wooden blade of the fan. Looking up, he glared at the fan.Katie's laughter filled the room. Talk about priceless. Though, she was glad his cement-hard head hadn't broken her ceiling fan."Very funny, Katie. Ha. Ha," he grumbled, turning his good-humored glare on her; his lips twitched, trying not to laugh with her."I tried to stop you.""Just wait until you start your growth spurt. Next week you'll be whining and complaining that nothing fits anymore.""I think it might be sooner than next week. I'd guess a couple of days max." Her clothes were loose, but they irritated her skin. Every time she moved, she felt the brush of her shorts and soft cotton halter-top slide against her sensitive skin. Her skin had started tingling yesterday afternoon. She sighed in resignation, being tender was normal a few days before she started the final growth spurt. "Honestly," Katie said. "I can't wait. I'm so sick of wearing boys slim cut jeans. To think, I'll actually have..." "La! La! La! La!" He loudly bellowed with a sick look on his face and fingers stuck in his ears."I was just going to say hips," she said, planting her hands on her hips. She grinned at his pained expression. He gave a long-suffering sigh and removed his fingers. She couldn't resist the urge to tease him. "Oh, and I'll finally have boobs." Her giggles turned to laughter as his mortified expression turned beet red. He tried to say something, but only a gurgle came out, while the tips of his pointed ears turned rosy red.Thank you for considering Forbidden Temptation! :-)
