****Warning: This book is intended for readers 18 and Up. Strong language and explicit sexual scenes**** Innocence. We're all born with it. Navigating through life as though power, privilege, and money don't rule the world. I'm guilty of it. I walked around, ignorantly thinking that the PITCREW, the most popular guys in high school, was where you wanted to be or who you wanted to date. They could have any girl they wanted, but they needed a challenge. They needed something to do to make their miserable existence exciting. That's where I came in. How was I to know that the one night I willingly gave away my innocence would set off a chain of events, turning my world upside down? Now, ten years later, it's my turn to use sex, money, and lies to take from them all that they took from me . . . and more. But the road to retribution has its twists and turns and I don't want to make the innocent mistake of crashing.

In the battle between energy and emptiness, there's only one weapon - the elements. The light and dark souls have been reunited. It's now up to Nora and Darcy to track down the elemental souls with help from their guardians. Finding four people who hold the souls of the four natural elements out of seven billion is an overwhelming mission. Only through translating the Statera and reminiscing of the ancient past can they unlock the mysteries to locating the Elementals, breaking the curse, restoring the balance, and filling the emptiness.But their mission is interrupted by an unexpected guest - the Elemental guide, Lilly. Can this new addition to their team be trusted? Will they complete these daunting tasks before the destructor strikes again?
Betrayal. We've all experienced it. Naively going through life thinking it won't happen to us. When it does, it rocks you to the core and infiltrates your body like a virus. You put your trust in someone only to have it ripped to shreds in the blink of an eye. Even I'm guilty of it. Years ago, I stood by - watching - as my friends tortured Annie, the girl I was in love with in high school, never standing up for her. How was I to know that one bet back in high school, between the PITCREW, would come back and haunt me so maliciously. I've since lived my life trying to make up for it. I finally gained the courage to seek out Annie and ask for forgiveness. I just didn't know she was right under my nose. Under my body. In my bed. With a new look. A new name. Embyr's plan was to get revenge on us all, and in the process, she set off a chain of events that would turn our worlds upside down. She conspired to have me fall in love with her and then crush me with the blow. She succeeded, but didn't realize she would hurt just as much as me. However, the road to recovery has its twists and turns. If I ever thought my heart would survive - I was mistaken - and if I thought that was the end of the betrayal - I was dead wrong.
The world is changing. Rain floods the entire globe, hurricane winds blow throughout every country, and earth-shattering quakes have destroyed the land. Millions have perished. Three of the four elements have been found, but the emptiness has begun to invoke the destructive end of this world.Nora now has her toughest battle to face, and she has to face it without her soul mate. Can she find the fire before it's too late? Is there a way to save Darcy from the darkness? Can the curse be broken and the balance restored? In the final battle against the evil of the emptiness - let there be light.

Examines the domestic and international use of phenoxy herbicides by the United States in the mid-twentieth century.In The Defoliation of America: Agent Orange Chemicals, Citizens, and Protests, Amy M. Hay profiles the attitudes, understandings, and motivations of grassroots activists who rose to fight the use of phenoxy herbicides, or Agent Orange chemicals as they are commonly known, in various aspects of American life during the post-WWII era. Hay focuses her analysis on citizen responses to illuminate how regulatory policies were understood, challenged, and negotiated, contributing to a growing body of research on chemical regulatory policies, risk society, and hazardous chemicals. This volume uncovers new understandings about the authority of the state and its obligation to society, the role of scientific authority and expertise, and the protests made by various groups of citizens.First introduced in 1946, phenoxy herbicides mimic hormones in broadleaf plants, causing them to “grow to death” while grass, grains, and other monocots remain unaffected. By the 1950s, millions of pounds of these chemicals were produced annually for use in brush control, weed eradication, forest management, and other agricultural applications. Pockets of skepticism and resistance began to appear by the late 1950s, and the trend intensified after 1962 when Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring directed mainstream attention to the harm modern chemicals were causing in the natural world. It wasn’t until the Vietnam War, however, when nearly 19 million gallons of Agent Orange and related herbicides were sprayed to clear the canopy and destroy crops in Southeast Asia, that the long-term damage associated with this group of chemicals began to attract widespread attention and alarm.Using a wide array of sources and an interdisciplinary approach, Hay contributes to the robust fields of chemical toxicity, regulation, environmental management, and public health. This study of the scientists, health and environmental activists, and veterans who fought US chemical regulatory policies and practices reveals the mechanisms, obligations, and constraints of state and scientific authority in mid-twentieth-century America. Hay also shows how these disparate and mostly forgotten citizen groups challenged the political consensus and contested government and industry narratives of chemical safety.
