Big Bad Shifters: A Ten-Book Paranormal Romance Box Set
Summer Cooper - 2018
A 10 Book Box Set of Amazon Best Selling Novels! Filled with bears, wolves, dragons, psychics and more, this collection of steamy monogamous and menage paranormal romance stories will make you blush and have you begging for more. Book 1 - Elokon (Bride Of The Dragons) I’m yet to find a mate. A true mate that I can share with my Omega, Siron. When I saw Adelina, I knew she was the one and only. But she’s a mere human. Can she take the both of us? Can our clan accept her as their queen? Book 2 - Kane (Alexander Shifter Brothers 1) I hate rules, and I’m not afraid to break them. I wanted Damesha from the first time we met. I know what the clan is like when it comes to outsiders. They simply won’t accept her. But I won’t take no for an answer. I’ll do whatever it takes to be with her. Even if that means turning against all my brothers, my family, my clan. Book 3 - Cane (Alexander Shifter Brothers 2) I only care about one thing… carrying out my duties as leader. For the first time, I’m losing control of my people. First, they throw women at me that I don’t have time for. Then rumors start that I don’t even like women. So, I do what I do best. I handle the situation. I order myself a bride. Book 4 - Jacob (Alexander Shifter Brothers 3) I’ve always done what my brothers told me. But war is coming. A war that we can’t afford to lose. Deep down, I know there’s only one way we can win this. By working with the seductress, Sabrina the Vampire queen. But my lust for her is beyond anything I’ve ever felt in my life. Book 5 - Winslow & Hollis (Ivy’s Bears) We both want her to ourselves. Even though she’s an outsider, a human. But she won’t choose. We’re best friends, but there are some things we just don’t share. But for Ivy, it just might be worth it. Book 6 - Jack & Damien (Bearly Wolf) We’ve led our pack well. But factions are rising. Without a mate to cement our position, all could be lost. Then we find her - Imogen. But she isn’t a bear shifter, she’s a half-breed with no abilities. Is this forbidden love worth losing everything we’ve ever known? Book 7 - Hale, Rhys, Knox, Zed (Bearly Friends) They entered our world by mistake. They thought they were just taking a trip to the mountains. But somehow, three beautiful women ended up with us. Did they expect to see bears? Maybe. But not like us! And while they’re here, we’re going to have some fun. Book 8 - Zare (Sold To The Werewolf) It’s always been easy for me to get girls. It’s just part of the fun of being a werewolf. Good looks and strong, muscular bodies seem to be in our DNA. But finding a true mate is another story! I’ve been looking for what seems like forever and nothing. And then I met Jane. Getting this girl, it seems, is not so easy. So I made her an offer she can’t refuse...
Building Cloud Apps with Microsoft Azure: Best Practices for DevOps, Data Storage, High Availability, and More (Developer Reference)
Scott Guthrie - 2014
The patterns apply to the development process as well as to architecture and coding practices. The content is based on a presentation developed by Scott Guthrie and delivered by him at the Norwegian Developers Conference (NDC) in June of 2013 (part 1, part 2), and at Microsoft Tech Ed Australia in September 2013 (part 1, part 2). Many others updated and augmented the content while transitioning it from video to written form. Who should read this book Developers who are curious about developing for the cloud, are considering a move to the cloud, or are new to cloud development will find here a concise overview of the most important concepts and practices they need to know. The concepts are illustrated with concrete examples, and each chapter includes links to other resources that provide more in-depth information. The examples and the links to additional resources are for Microsoft frameworks and services, but the principles illustrated apply to other web development frameworks and cloud environments as well. Developers who are already developing for the cloud may find ideas here that will help make them more successful. Each chapter in the series can be read independently, so you can pick and choose topics that you're interested in. Anyone who watched Scott Guthrie's "Building Real World Cloud Apps with Windows Azure" presentation and wants more details and updated information will find that here. Assumptions This ebook expects that you have experience developing web applications by using Visual Studio and ASP.NET. Familiarity with C# would be helpful in places.
Borrowed Time
Jack Campbell - 2013
Especially when the person who’s supposed to be keeping an eye out for the bad guys is stuck in his own 15-year-old body.

Discover the real origin of the Spanish Flu. Learn why a massive and mysterious explosion in 1908 happened to occur in the world’s least-inhabited region. Consider the possibility that the development of ironclad warships by both the South and the North at the exact same time during the American Civil War might have been more than coincidence. And why don’t we know exactly who fired the Shot Heard Round the World, the lone gunshot that started the American Revolution?In “Joan,” Kate is a time-traveling researcher who’s gotten a little too close to Joan of Arc both in time and emotionally. With no distance, scientific or otherwise, what will happen when she has a chance to rescue Joan from being burnt at the stake?

A Tour of C++
Bjarne Stroustrup - 2013
Bjarne Stroustrup, the designer and original implementer of C++, thoroughly covers the details of this language and its use in his definitive reference, The C++ Programming Language, Fourth Edition. In
A Tour of C++
, Stroustrup excerpts the overview chapters from that complete reference, expanding and enhancing them to give an experienced programmer-in just a few hours-a clear idea of what constitutes modern C++. In this concise, self-contained guide, Stroustrup covers most major language features and the major standard-library components-not, of course, in great depth, but to a level that gives programmers a meaningful overview of the language, some key examples, and practical help in getting started. Stroustrup presents the C++ features in the context of the programming styles they support, such as object-oriented and generic programming. His tour is remarkably comprehensive. Coverage begins with the basics, then ranges widely through more advanced topics, including many that are new in C++11, such as move semantics, uniform initialization, lambda expressions, improved containers, random numbers, and concurrency. The tour ends with a discussion of the design and evolution of C++ and the extensions added for C++11. This guide does not aim to teach you how to program (see Stroustrup's Programming: Principles and Practice Using C++ for that); nor will it be the only resource you'll need for C++ mastery (see Stroustrup's The C++ Programming Language, Fourth Edition, for that). If, however, you are a C or C++ programmer wanting greater familiarity with the current C++ language, or a programmer versed in another language wishing to gain an accurate picture of the nature and benefits of modern C++, you can't find a shorter or simpler introduction than this tour provides.
