Since divorce is out of the question, she is faced with the difficult choice: leave her husband and run away with her sons, get rid of her mother-in-law through extreme measures, or simply follow the guidance from her mentor, Aunt Heydee, whose advice still rings in her ears, "grab the bull by the horns and stop complaining."

"This book was so much fun, I didn't want it to end." -- Susan Hatler, International Bestselling Authoreverythingtodowithbooks.blogspot.com said "It is far too addictive. I stayed up until 3 in the morning just to finish it because it had some kind of addictive quality that compelled me to continue reading until the very end " http: //freak-ya-tastic.blogspot.com said "In fact, I was so caught in this novel that I read it in a couple of hours. How can I resist to a fresh, light, cute and kind of hot read? It's just impossible." chapter-by-chapter.com said, "With the perfect body and the sexiest personality, he is my official fictional celebrity boyfriend (and the first)... An amazing quick read that I won't soon forget." PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONWhen good-girl Maddie switches places with her famous bad-girl twin Jackie, she has some pretty high stilettos to fill.Despite the danger of tabloid drama if their identity swap is discovered, Maddie has to save her sister's butt. When Jackie's ex-boyfriend shows up with a rekindled spark for "Jackie," his deep gray eyes and sweet kisses make Maddie's heart thumpety thump. But dating the guy who dumped her sister is a no-no. Too bad Dallas isn't used to girls saying no. What will happen when he discovers Maddie's deception?EXCERPT OF FROM FAME TO SHAME"And what are your plans tomorrow tonight?" Dallas reached up to rub a lock of my hair between his thumb and finger."Plans?" My mouth went dry. He stood way too close and my concentration slipped."You always have plans." His eyes caressed my face."Not tomorrow night." Somewhere deep in my soul, I knew that was the wrong answer. But when your brain stops working, telling the truth is so much easier."A friend told me that Josh Adams is jamming at Hanks Blues. It's supposed to be a surprise. Should be fun."I nodded, since it was all I was capable of at the moment."We'll have dinner there. I'll pick you up at six."Preventing Dallas from making another date with me would've been smart. The words hovered in my throat, but I couldn't force them out. Even if I didn't reject his offer, I needed to say something. Or, at the very least, finish cleaning up after breakfast. And yet, I couldn't move. I just stared into his eyes as they fixed on mine.His gaze fell to my mouth, then he reached both hands up to cup my face and, inch by inch, lowered his mouth to mine.Our lips touched, feather-light. He shifted his body and brought his thighs against mine, but he didn't deepen the kiss. He just skimmed the surface, gently teasing my mouth until my nerve endings hummed. Seconds stretched and my lungs stilled as I ached for more.Then, slowly, he withdrew, keeping close enough that I still felt his warm breath against my skin.I couldn't catch my breath. A thick haze clouded my brain and I worried he might ask me something, anything, that required a response and I'd slip up. Fear that I'd blow it for Jackie paralyzed me.Oh, my God Jackie If she knew I'd just kissed the guy who dumped her, she'd feel hurt and betrayed and what had we just talked about? Jackie didn't need this, on top of everything else."I..." I had no idea what to say. I only knew that if someone didn't say something soon and break the trance, I would let Jackie down worse than I already had. Because, more than anything, I wanted this guy, no matter how nice he was.

"Un-freakin-believable " and "This is truly one of the best YA Paranormal novels that I have ever read..." - CafeOfDreamsBookReviews "I just can't say enough how much I loved this book "- InJuliesOpinion "A fast-paced, intriguing start to the Shapes of Autumn series, My Wolf's Bane is an awesome read." - Susan Hatler, International bestselling author NOTE FROM THE PUBLISHER: As with any Veronica Blade book, this is a ROMANCE NOVEL, meaning it's romance FIRST and everything else is secondary. Rated PG-13 for sexual situations and mild profanity. Different species. Mortal enemies. It'll never work, but they'll die trying. Autumn Rossi thought she was a normal teenager. Suddenly, she can outrun every critter in the forest, making her wonder if she's even human. When the new guy at school, Zack de Luca, witnesses a questionable scene, he unfairly pins her as stuck-up. He acts like he hates her, yet he keeps bailing her out of trouble. Not only is Zack both insufferable and irresistible, he seems to sniff her anytime he gets close. As passion flares between them, Autumn isn't sure which is more dangerous: her psycho ex-boyfriend, or falling for Zack - who's risking his life just by being near her. See the book trailer: http: //youtu.be/GEXgVD1NblU EXCERPT The smell of unwashed wolf closed in on me, fur tickling my skin and fetid breath in my face. I trembled, hot tears burning my eyes. The wolf snarled and I scrambled back as he leapt toward me. "Autumn. Autumn, wake up." Zack pulled me off the pillow by my shoulders. I lifted my head and rubbed my eyes, trying to wipe away the mental fuzz. But I was aware enough to notice my comforter wasn't anywhere near us, certainly not separating me from him. I must have kicked it off during my nightmare. "Are you okay?" Zack was sitting directly in front of me, his thighs straddling mine, heat from his bare skin radiating through me. I nodded. He exhaled in relief and leaned back to sit on his heels. "Heard you scream and I ran up here. Been calling your name over and over, but you wouldn't wake up. Scared me for a minute there." I'd been having that same dream where I was being chased. "I was running from wolves." He brushed a finger down my cheek. "It was just a dream." "More like a nightmare," I whispered, my gaze locking onto his. He wore nothing but a pair of boxers. As my ragged breath slowed, I realized the only other thing between us was my threadbare tank top and skimpy panties. "Autumn." His breathing quickened and he growled so low it sounded like a purr. Then he tilted my face to meet his and drew closer until I felt his breath on my skin. "You're too beautiful."

Unless they adopted her and didn't know she wasn't human. Either way, learning the truth has the same outcome: her parents lied. Zack is the only one she can count on, but he's a werewolf and the king's decree forbids contact between the species, let alone love. Zack's planning to leave after graduation, but letting him go isn't an option. He's becoming more a part of her every day, a part she would fight for, give up everything for - even kill for. If she's not killed first.If Zack's experience with his own kind has taught him anything, it's that werewolves can't be trusted. He'd rather die free than live in a pack under the rule of the werewolf king. So, instead of preparing for college like any other senior, he's planning to go on the run after graduation. Escaping won't be easy with the werewolves guarding him. But until that day comes, Zack knows he's endangering Autumn every moment he's around her. If it's this difficult staying away from her now, how hard will it be to leave her behind in just a few weeks?

Chopper! Chopper! Poetry from Bordered Lives
Chopper! Chopper! reflects the lives of Mexican Americans, immigrants, Chicanas/os, and la joter\u00eda—malfloras, jotos, and beautiful rainbow communities. As vividly as Mexican Technicolor, these poems capture life in the barrio: vendors hauling carts with elote, raspados, botes y m\u00e1s. Vatos fighting to exist. Mujeres claiming space. Summer evenings, children playing in the calles of East L.A., El Paso, and bordered tierras everywhere. Reyes’s work exudes the pride, strength, turmoil and struggle of neighborhoods brimming with tradition and invention, estilo a la brava. These homegrown verses reveal the barrio in all its intricate layers. Revering difference, they fight to make room for something new: Marimacha Poetry. \u00a1Y Qu\u00e9!

An attempted assassination left Princess Shalira blind as a child and, now that she's of marriageable age, her prospects are not good because of her disability. She's resigned herself to an arranged marriage rather than face life under the thumb of her cold stepmother. But then she meets Mike Varone, a Sectors Special Forces officer sent to Mahjundar by the intergalactic government to retrieve a ship lost in her planet's mountains. After Mike saves Shalira from another assassination attempt, she arranges for him to escort her across the planet to her future husband. She's already falling hard for the deadly offworlder and knows she should deny herself the temptation he represents, but taking Mike along to protect her is the only way she'll live long enough to escape her ruthless stepmother. Mike, for his part, resists his growing attraction to the princess; he has a mission on this planet and rescuing the vulnerable but brave princess isn't it. No matter how much he wishes it could be. But what should have been an easy trek through Mahjundar's peaceful lands swiftly turns into an ambush with danger around every turn. Shalira's marriage begins to seem less like an arranged union and more like yet another planned assassination. The more they work together to survive, the harder it becomes to stop themselves from falling in love. Caught in a race against time, can they escape the hostile forces hunting them and make it off the planet? Can there be a future for a simple soldier and an intergalactic princess?
