One Month with Vince Tanev: Tampa's Hotshot RookieTwenty-four-seven access on and off the ice.The headline says it all, and my bosses are over the moon when the opportunity of a lifetime lands in my lap.

It doesn't matter that he's the kind of hot that shows God has favorites - messy brown hair, heated hazel eyes, the smirk of a rockstar, and a scar over his eyebrow that makes every woman particularly feral.He's a rich, cocky playboy - a brand I'm all too familiar with, and one I'm determined to never be around again.But after my coverage of the gala stirs up buzz, the team's General Manager and my CEO strike a deal. To help fill the arena at home games, I'll get up close and personal with Tampa's new shiny toy. Whether he's at practice, playing in a game, partying, or drinking coffee half-naked in his condo - I'll be there for all of it.Vince gets under my skin like no one else.

The tension is hot enough to melt my inhibitions. But I know the way this story ends. I've lived it once before. As much as I work to guard my heart, my body is a traitor - and if this man puts his hands on me, I know I'll submit to desire.I thought one month with Vince Tanev was a game I could win easily.But I might have just met my match.

Born into a turbulent and dysfunctional family-and surrounded by adults who were regularly using marijuana, alcohol, cocaine, heroin and crystal meth-Nick Terry TNT bounced around the Pacific Northwest throughout the 1980s, going to 13 different schools before being expelled in 10th grade. By his teens, Nick had entered a life of addiction and crime and was desperate to escape before ending up dead or in prison. To avoid pending legal charges, Nick fled to Hawaii where he became a father-but his unchecked drug use continued to eat away at his life and family. After multiple attempts at sobriety through traditional treatment and 12-Step recovery, Nick found success through full surrender and commitment to the process-but after four years of sobriety, he hit a wall. A breakthrough came when he discovered breathwork, which he came to believe is the missing piece of the recovery puzzle. In Breath of Life: Finding Long-Term Recovery with Breathwork and Stepwork, Nick shares how he transformed from wayward addict to breathwork and recovery life coach, and offers his holistic, much-needed perspective on how others can do the same. In homage to the Big Book of AA, Breath of Life is divided into sections explaining: - Nick's harrowing, decades-long battle with addiction and what turned it around - 8 spiritual principles of lasting recovery blending holistic teachings and traditional stepwork - A beginner's approach to breathwork and morning routines (used by Nick himself) - Firsthand stories from recovering addicts who have benefitted from Nick's approach - A breathwork appendix with conscious breathing, cyclical sighing and Breath of Life exercises (and more) In the end, Breath of Life draws on 12-Step teachings, ancient spiritual wisdom, modern science and Nick's raw life experience to forge an effective and holistic new recovery path. The result is a genre-defying, holistic recovery handbook that synthesizes all existing paradigms, all while adding a much needed breath of fresh air.

En la amplitud de la cobertura, en la minuciosidad del aprendizaje, en la claridad del análisis y del argumento, y, creo, en la solidez del juicio, este sólido, lúcido y pastoral tratado no tiene parangón. Los evangélicos que investigan, debaten, enseñan y aconsejan sobre el género, el sexo, el matrimonio y la familia encontrarán en él un recurso infinitamente útil. La fácil maestría con la que el autor se abre paso a través de cuarenta años de escritos especiales le da a este compendio un significado histórico, y lo recomiendo encarecidamente.-J. I.

I wanted her.She was just two floors away from me here in my castle.And some piece of her-naïve and inexperienced-wanted me.The man who was doomed to die at her hand.I could mostly ignore that fact, now that I was used to her presence, and my intermittent lust. But I wondered if not telling her about it was a bigger betrayal than not telling her about my arrangement with her father. If she did manage her Ascension-and when she found out what that meant-then she would know the truth.That there hadn't been a moment, ever since we met, that I didn't see my death inside her eyes.I could only hope that the shame of her learning that would be absolved by a second realization: that I had loved her anyway.Break Her: A Dark Beauty and the Beast Fantasy Romance is the second book in the Transformation Trilogy, about Rhaim the All-Beast, a cruel beast mage doomed to die at the hands of the woman he must protect at all costs, and Lisane, the sheltered Princess of Tears, who has been given into his care and who needs him to teach her magic so she can be free-no matter how much it might hurt her.

Before man by dams and bridges conquered the might of the Red River, this potent boundary line between Texas and Oklahoma was a powerful force in the destinies of towns and their pioneer builders. In its rich valley lay the nucleus for great cities and large fortunes. It took a strong breed of people and communities to withstand nature's onslaughts-the sort of people about whom legends are bound to spring. Herein, gathered and recounted are stories of early Denison, Sherman, Paris, Bonham, Clarksville, Caddo Lake, and other Red River Valley places and people. These tales of northeast Texas, fraught with both beauty and danger, are indeed stranger and more entertaining than fiction.
