Brothers; Pack Special Complete Set
M.L. Briers - 2016
8 Books in one set.
Maverick (Brothers; Pack Special #1)
Maverick wasn’t looking for a mate, but coming across the water nymph that was bathing in the pools of the waterfall on his land was like a dream come true. That was until he took her scent - witch, and a feisty one. This could go wrong on so many levels that it wasn’t worth contemplating... but there was little choice when one of his pack made it clear that a witch wasn’t welcome.
Rowan (Brothers; Pack Special #2)
As one of the pack’s enforcers, Rowan was used to dealing with trouble when it came their way. But now, he had found himself in a whole heap of trouble with a feisty witch that brought problems of her own and a past that was deadly.
As if wooing an unwilling mate wasn’t enough of a challenge for him - now he needed to fight to keep her alive when that trouble came to his door.
Callum (Brothers; Pack Special #3)
Callum wasn’t looking for trouble but it never seemed far enough away for him to turn his back on it when it arrived, and arrive it did, in the shapely, curvy form of Morgan, a feisty witch that was running from something that was sure to catch up to her if she stayed in one place too long. The trouble was that she was a mate, and she wasn’t going anywhere fast.
With the pack in danger, and two near death’s door - how was Callum ever going to woo his mate and keep her safe?
Tyler (Brothers; Pack Special #4)
Sometimes the scariest monsters are the ones that reside within ourselves.
Tyler was inconsolable. Connor had tried to talk some sense into the bear but he’d moved into a cave at the waterfalls and was planning to hibernate for the winter. Mari had visited him, but she was reluctant to go into the cave, and he couldn’t face her.
Tyler’s guilt for hurting a female, a friend was tearing him apart. Could anyone reach deep within the big bear shifters soul and heal his wounds? Maybe someone who had demons of her own, but would she share them, and would he walk away from the one person who could save his soul in order to save her?
Mari (Brothers; Pack Special #5)
It came as no surprise to anyone that Mari didn’t like the witches - she’d made that plain enough, but now, as she was putting some serious thought into leaving the pack, something happened that threw her entire world into chaos. Trouble was always brewing when Mari was around, but this was trouble of the worst kind, and when it arrived on her doorstep, who would put themselves on the line to save her?
Justice (Brothers; Pack Special #6)
Justice could feel it within him, the ache, the need to find his own mate. He hated that winter had closed down the mountain for it meant that he would have to wait, lost, alone, until the thaw set in before he could even begin to hope that she would come to him.
What he should have known was where fate was concerned to always expect the unexpected. Not only did he uncover his one true mate, but he found that he needed to fight, not only to woo her from the demons that hounded her, but to keep her alive.
Dexter (Brothers; Pack Special #7)
Dexter was back on the mountain and he was as close to become a rogue as he wished to get. His bad attitude matched his bad reputation, and it wasn’t going to be the home coming that any of the brothers wanted if Dexter couldn’t get his act together, get his head straight, and his wolf in check. But there was way more trouble to come in the form of a witch that could give just as much attitude as he could dish out in her direction.
Would either of them survive to become mates?
Could she tame Dexter’s rogue side and bad boy ways?
Or would they both die trying.
Connor (Brothers; Pack Special #8)
Connor had waited so long for fate to send a mate his way that he’d given up hope that one day it might happen. He wondered over the years if he’d missed his chance, and now, as his friends were settling into life with their mates, and the pack would soon start a new generation of pups. He was resigned to living vicariously through their lives and loves.
Then there she was; his mate, his destiny, all wrapped up in a whole heap of trouble that would see him having to fight to keep them both alive. Facing a vampire as old and as powerful as he was wasn’t his idea of a dream wooing. But, he wasn’t about to see her torn from his side now that he had found her.
He would have her. Or he would die fighting to keep her alive.
Join the White Wolf shifters as they live and find love on the mountain.

What If? Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions
Randall Munroe - 2014

' He liked these questions so much that he started up What If. If your cells suddenly lost the power to divide, how long would you survive? How dangerous is it, really, to be in a swimming pool in a thunderstorm? If we hooked turbines to people exercising in gyms, how much power could we produce? What if everyone only had one soulmate?When (if ever) did the sun go down on the British empire? How fast can you hit a speed bump while driving and live?What would happen if the moon went away?In pursuit of answers, Munroe runs computer simulations, pores over stacks of declassified military research memos, solves differential equations, and consults with nuclear reactor operators. His responses are masterpieces of clarity and hilarity, studded with memorable cartoons and infographics. They often predict the complete annihilation of humankind, or at least a really big explosion. Far more than a book for geeks, WHAT IF: Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions explains the laws of science in operation in a way that every intelligent reader will enjoy and feel much the smarter for having read.
