    Join me on my new journey as Alexandria Hunt! Tennyson: He threw mud in my hair in third grade, and from that moment on, Chase Evans and I were inseparable. He was the rich football star, and I was from the wrong side of the tracks, but everybody knew our love would conquer all. A twisted setup in our senior year ended with me breaking his heart. He left town, and I knew I'd be alone forever after that. But he came back and decided I was his again, and how could I disagree? I wanted him with every fiber of my being, but I couldn’t let myself fall for him. Not when there was something I had to tell him. Something that might destroy any hope of a second chance. Something that would change the course of our lives, no matter what his reaction was. Chase: Tennyson Holland broke my heart the summer after graduation. Scratch that...she f*cking shattered my heart. I left for school and never looked back. Meaningless fling after meaningless fling couldn't plug the hole she’d left in her wake, so I sank myself into getting my MBA and living up to the demands of my college football full scholarship. I was a hotshot superstar, right up until my stepdad lost everything our family owned and I blew out my knee in a stupid play gone wrong. I was forced back to our small hometown, ego shattered as badly as my knee, our family poor as hell, me drifting and still so god damned broken. From the moment I saw her again, I knew I had to have her. But would she take me back, knowing I had nothing? Would we ever get our second chance? **Warning, the hot sex and suggestive, naughty language would indicate this is better left to those over the age of 18.

I will guarantee you get a sweet, sexy, small town second chance romance...Chase is singularly obsessed with Tennyson and she's the same with him. This will make your toes curl in anticipation, make your heart pound faster with excitement and make you hold your kindle to your chest and close your eyes in pure happiness at the end. You will love falling in love with this standalone full length tale of passion. That's my Alexandria Hunt Romance promise. But don't worry, I've got your back...quick and dirty panty melting stories are on their way too.

    They do their best work under pressure. Janice Hudson was an adrenaline-charged emergency room nurse in a San Francisco-area hospital when a friend told her about CALSTAR, a fledgling helicopter ambulance service with an opening for a flight nurse. Weeks later she was swooping over the Bay Area to scenes of shootings, accidents and disasters. The trauma junkie had found her element.Hudson spent ten years as a flight nurse, answering calls that were by turns horrifying, heroic and absurd. She decries her personal flights from hell that involved children and drunk drivers. In this moving story, she recalls her triumphs, like the time she performed a surgical cricothyrotomy on a patient as he hung upside down in his overturned car -- in the dark. And she shakes her head at some of the bizarre calls, like the one that took her to the scene of a suspicious mountain lion attack (there are no mountain lions in the Bay Area). But no matter what the call, CALSTAR and its dedicated crew braved danger and hardship to reach the scene of catastrophe in a race against time to bring help to those whose only hope of survival lay in the speed of the helicopter and the skill of the medical crew.A born storyteller, Janice Hudson writes with compassion, insight and wry humor. Trauma Junkie is an in-the-trenches account of emergency nursing at its most demanding.
