    At long last, she’s learned the truth behind her vampire sire and why he turned her. But with that comes a revelation about an ancient evil that preys on innocent young witches. Turns out, Sam has a unique connection to the fiend, but it might not be enough to help her find the monster. Of course, it’s not like she doesn’t have all the time in the world…

    When desire gets this hot, you’d better buckle up…

    Mary Daniels doesn’t let anything get in the way of her job acquiring rare artifacts for her wealthy boss.

Stuck in a cramped car with Brodie Crews for hours en route to their new assignment, Mary feels her carefully crafted persona—and her trademark self-control—is slipping, and she won’t allow it.

    Brodie can’t imagine what secret in Mary’s past has left her so buttoned-up, though he’d dearly love to find out. Maybe then she’d trust him enough to explore their explosive chemistry. But he needs this job, so he’ll play by her rules and bide his time… until an enemy determined to outwit them strikes and he needs to get close—in every way—to protect her. Otherwise they could lose much more than a precious collectible. They could lose it all.

    THE HUNT FOR A SERIAL KILLER

    Evelyn Talbot knows that a psychopath can look perfectly normal. She was only sixteen when her own boyfriend Jasper imprisoned and tortured her—and left her for dead. Now an eminent psychiatrist who specializes in the criminal mind, Evelyn is the force behind Hanover House, a maximum-security facility located in a small Alaskan town. Her job puts her at odds with Sergeant Amarok, who is convinced that Hanover is a threat to his community… even as his attraction to beautiful Evelyn threatens to tear his world apart.

    …BEGINS WITH AN ESCAPE FROM HER PAST

    Then, just as the bitter Alaskan winter cuts both town and prison off from the outside world, the mutilated body of a local woman turns up. For Amarok, this is the final proof he needs: Hanover has to go. Evelyn, though, has reason to fear that the crime is a personal message to her—the first sign that the killer who haunts her dreams has found her again… and that the life she has so carefully rebuilt will never be the same.

In the ultimate race against time, more than 300,000 Allied soldiers were daringly evacuated across the Channel.

    Now, Joshua Levine, the film’s official historian, explores the real lives of those soldiers, bombed and strafed on the beaches for days on end, without food or ammunition; the civilians whose boats were overloaded; the airmen who risked their lives to buy their companions on the ground precious time; and those who did not escape.

    To Sell Is Human: The Surprising Truth About Moving Others From the bestselling author of Drive comes a surprising–and surprisingly useful–new book that explores the power of selling in our lives.

    According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, one in nine Americans works in sales. Every day more than fifteen million people earn their keep by persuading someone else to make a purchase.

    But dig deeper and a startling truth emerges:

    Yes, one in nine Americans works in sales. But so do the other eight.

    Whether we’re employees pitching colleagues on a new idea, entrepreneurs enticing funders to invest, or parents and teachers cajoling children to study, we spend our days trying to move others. Like it or not, we’re all in sales now.

    To Sell Is Human offers a fresh look at the art and science of selling. As he did in Drive and A Whole New Mind, Daniel H. Pink draws on a rich trove of social science for his counterintuitive insights. He reveals the new ABCs of moving others (it’s no longer "Always Be Closing"), explains why extraverts don’t make the best salespeople, and shows how giving people an "off-ramp" for their actions can matter more than actually changing their minds.

    Three Mages and a Margarita (The Guild Codex: Spellbound Book 1) Over 200 5-Star Reviews!

    Broke, almost homeless, and recently fired. Those are my official reasons for answering a wanted ad for a skeevy-looking bartender gig.

    It went downhill the moment they asked for a trial shift instead of an interview–to see if I’d mesh with their "special" clientele. I think that part went great. Their customers were complete jerks, and I was an asshole right back. That’s the definition of fitting in, right?

    I expected to get thrown out on my ass. Instead, they… offered me the job?

    It turns out this place isn’t a bar. It’s a guild. And the three cocky guys I drenched with a margarita during my trial? Yeah, they were mages. Either I’m exactly the kind of takes-no-shit bartender this guild needs, or there’s a good reason no one else wants to work here.

    So what’s a broke girl to do? Take the job, of course–with a pay raise.
