Special Ops Shifters Box Set
Meg Ripley - 2020
Read the entire Special Ops Shifters series in one sizzling, action-packed collection! Book 1: Daddy Soldier Bear As soon as I encountered Nikki, my bear went wild with need. But my mate died in childbirth years ago, and as a military trained doctor, I still beat myself up for not being able to save her. I never thought I’d love again. But the way my bear yearns for her now has me thinking otherwise. No matter what my bear wants, I won’t give up until I get to the bottom of the mystery behind Nikki’s three devious mates. I can’t let my heart get involved. Or can I? Book 2: Fake Mate For The Soldier Lion God, I’ve been craving a mate for far too long. But between my tactical missions with the Special Ops Shifter Force and working my ass off, I've had no choice but to ignore the roar of my inner lion. Until the day a sassy, iron-willed lioness showed up at the Force’s secret headquarters unannounced. Desire surged through my veins the moment our feline eyes met, lighting every cell in my body ablaze. We weren’t recruiting, but our Alpha reluctantly agreed to deploy her on a test mission—where she and I will be posing as mates. The only problem? I know she’s my one true match. And dating within the Force is strictly forbidden. Will honor and duty keep my inner big cat from finally claiming what’s his? Book 3: Captured By The Soldier Wolf I was sent on a covert mission to infiltrate a pack in the Rockies, but once I met the Alpha’s raging hot sister, I knew this mission was going to be a hell of a lot harder than I thought. She’d returned to her home pack with her little boy after a messy divorce, hoping to piece together a new life. But one night deep in the forest, she overheard my phone call with the Force, leaving me no choice but to take her hostage. I’ve gotta keep my cover and protect the integrity of the mission. But when tensions rise between that hot little wolf and I in the middle of the woods, will we be able to ignore the demands of our inner beasts? Book 4: Christmas With The Soldier Dragon I’m the only shifter of my kind, never knowing the sense of family that comes with being part of a clan. The rest of my comrades are celebrating the holidays with their mates, and that only magnifies the issue. So when I was presented with a mission to investigate a mysterious case of shifter disappearances around Lake Tahoe, I jumped at the chance to get away from it all. But when I arrived, I came face to face with another dragon in the lake. Everything I’d known to be true was suddenly turned on its head, awakening the fire that had long been dormant in my heart. Finding her was the greatest Christmas gift I could’ve ever imagined. But with threats around every corner, will my dreams of finally having a mate be torn apart? Steamy shifter scenes inside! Readers 18+.

Lay Back the Darkness: Poems
Edward Hirsch - 2003
He explores the boundaries of human fallibility both in candid personal poems, such as the title piece—a plea for his father, a victim of Alzheimer’s wandering the hallway at night—and in his passionate encounters with classic poetic texts, as when Dante’s Inferno enters his bedroom:When you read Canto Five aloud last night in your naked, singsong, fractured Italian, my sweet compulsion, my carnal appetite, I suspected we shall never be forgiven for devouring each other body and soul . . . From the lighting of a Yahrzeit candle to the drawings by the children of Terezin, Hirsch longs for transcendence in art and in the troubled history of his faith. In “The Hades Sonnets,” the ravishing series that crowns the collection, the poet awakens full of grief in his wife’s arms, but here as throughout, there is a luminous forgiveness in his examination of our sorrows. Taken together, these poems offer a profound engagement with our need to capture what is passing (and past) in the incandescence of language.From the Hardcover edition.
