Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times Bestseller Dianna Love’s League of Gallize Shifters are back with a wild ride and sizzling romance in Scent Of A Mate. Gan never wanted to be a shifter and now he’s got a monster Siberian Tiger inside of him. He’s spent his whole life as a prisoner. This is no different. The minute he convinces the happens, Gan plans to vanish and live in a wilderness, leaving shifters behind forever, because he’ll have control of the crazy tiger. He gets his chance at freedom by hiding the fact that his animal is still insane. All he has to do is keep his tiger buttoned down long enough to observe on a mission and pay back a debt he owes to a sexy cougar shifter. That might have worked perfectly if Gan’s heart hadn’t fallen victim to the female running the mission … and if his tiger hadn’t busted loose. As a cougar shifter, Scarlett spends most of her days rescuing female shifters from predators. She has no intention of calling in the marker Gan owes her until she needs a rogue to help her save an innocent from powerful people she’s avoided her whole life. Unlike the other Gallize, an angry Gan has no problem breaking a few rules, and she’s seen the true man inside who will protect a vulnerable innocent. She had a sound plan, one that would cost only her if things went bad, until that crazy tiger shifter destroyed any hope of walking away from him. When Gan and Scarlett face impossible odds, each of them must put the one thing they hold most dear on the line to protect the other. “… a ground-breaking paranormal romance.” Always Reviewing

She can't be human. I could never fall this hard for her if she was. Then again, my instincts have been upside down since I left my alpha-less pack to explore the outside world. There's no escaping my past, though. It haunts me. Kendall says she can help me with it. I'll need her to if I'm going to make it living among humans. Truth is that I just want to be around her. I need to find out what she is. Could there be more to her than she claims? Could she be doing something magical to me? Whatever is going on, no one at our university is safe until I figure this out. And in the end, will our differences mean that I will have to live without her? Or is this unpredictable girl with more power than she knows, my unexpected fated mate?

Book excerpt: Rutledge Werewolves - Scent of Passion By Elizabeth Lapthorne Book 1 in the Rutledge Werewolves series Sophie Briggs threw caution to the wind for one night, and found herself six weeks later staring at a scary line on her positive home pregnancy test. Now the biggest problem she has to face is whether or not to contact the father, a man she hardly knows. He may not know about her and the baby, but she is learning lots about him. Her nightly dreams are hot enough to ignite the bed sheets! Artemais Rutledge, as Alpha Werewolf for his Pack, had been searching for his True Mate for more years than he cared to think about, and felt certain he had found her that one night with Sophie. His biggest problem is claiming her and making her his for all time. When Artemais finally catches up with her, the sparks certainly fly, but she isn't as pliable as he believed. All he needs is to marry her and settle her in his house with their baby, explain he's a werewolf, and try to stop his brothers from finding out what a tough time he's having of it all. He's certain it will be a piece of cake, if he could simply stop wallowing in her scent and get his head (the one on his shoulders) screwed on straight for more than a few seconds at a time.

Book excerpt: The delicate human woman is his mate. And he'll fight anything the Project throws at him to save her. Jack Harper was a soldier, a good one... then the Project decided to play god. Now he has permanent anger management issues and a monster living inside him. Used as a weapon, he's been waiting for a chance to strike back. But the Project are onto him. Ruled unstable, a kill order is passed down on Jack and his squad and they are transferred to St.Margarets. Play-things for the head docs until a bullet to the back of the head deals with them for good. But Jack isn't going down that easily, not when the delicate scent he'd been waiting for all his life wraps around him. Her scent calls to him. She's his. Now he has to keep her alive. A hospital manager with a heart of gold. A soldier with a dark secret. Lillian's life is... dull. The highlights of her day, other than her skinny hot chocolate, are the hunky guards who work in the military wing. It's classified and way above her pay grade, but she can't help feeling sorry for the hollow-eyed men and women they shuffle past reception. Then a late night emergency is wheeled in, his abdomen shredded and covered in blood. They’re not an emergency room but she can’t turn him away and risk a death on her hands. Unable to get the handsome soldier out of her mind, Lillian sneaks into the restricted area and finds herself thrust into a world where nothing makes sense. A world where men aren't always men, the dead walk, and her handsome soldier is way more than he seems... Project Rebellion: Monsters Exist. And they're the good guys...

Book excerpt: The shifters of Night Falls are unlike any other community of shifters. They do not RUN as a pack or sleuth or pride. They RIDE as The Woodsmen, a motorcycle club dedicated to keeping everyone in their community safe. Even the humans. Onyx: I’m a city wolf—a damaged and injured one at that. Obviously, the absolute last place I should be when I’m in heat is in the middle of the woods with unmated male shifters in the wild able to scent me. But here I am, running for my life. I’m not used to anyone being nice to me, let alone helping me. Even being the daughter of a pack alpha doesn’t keep you safe when you’re the lone freak in your pack who can’t shift. I’m being hunted out here in the woods, and yet somehow I feel safe on the doorstep of the big, brusque stranger who offers me sanctuary. Taron isn’t like any of the shifters I grew up around. He’s a bear shifter for one—an alpha, no less—with a protective streak a mile wide…for me. Taron: Not much to say. I knew from the moment Onyx found herself trying to escape her troubles in my woods. It hit me like a damn freight train. The she-wolf was my mate. Meaning she was mine to heal. And mine to protect at all costs.

Book excerpt: Shakespeare wrote that a rose by any other name would smell as sweet. But if you cannot smell, does the rose lose its sweetness? The first and definitive book on the psychology of smell, The Scent of Desire traces the importance of smell in our lives, from nourishment to procreation to our relationships with the people closest to us and the world at large. Smell was the very first sense to evolve and is located in the same part of the brain that processes emotion, memory, and motivation. To our ancestors, the sense of smell wasn't just important, it was crucial to existence and it remains so today. Our emotional, physical, even sexual lives are profoundly shaped by both our reactions to and interpretations of different smells. Why do some people like a certain smell and others hate it? Is smell personal or cultural? How does smell affect our choices and our daily lives? Rachel Herz explores these questions and examines the role smell plays in our lives, and how this most essential of senses is imperative to our physical and emotional well-being. Herz investigates how our sense of smell functions, examines what purpose it serves, and shows how inextricably it is linked to our survival. She introduces us to people who have lost their ability to smell and shows how their experiences confirm this sense's importance by illuminating the traumatic effect its loss has on the quality of day-to-day living. Herz illustrates how profoundly scent and the sense of smell affect our daily lives with numerous examples and personal accounts based on her years of research. The wonders of our sense of smell are all explored in a compelling and engaging manner, from emotions and memory to aromatherapy and pheromones. For anyone who has ever wondered about human nature or been curious about the secrets of both the body and the mind, The Scent of Desire is a fascinating, down-to-earth tour of the psychology and biology of our most neglected sense, the sense of smell.
