«Keenan James has made a career out of teaching women what men «really» want. He hosts a weekly roundtable, where he offers advice to the love-lorn, and now he's even been tapped to write a book — though he's never been able to commit to just one girl. Unfortunately, he's recently been saddled with his mom's irrepressible pooch, a golden doodle named Barbra Streisand, and his publisher has saddled him with a co-writer — a shy psychologist named Tory Hoffstra, who's determined to keep him on a short leash. Suspecting that Keenan's nothing but a hound, Tory joins the round-table under an alias. She's shocked that he's more than just a smooth-talking seducer... and that he's even more gorgeous than she had heard. As for Keenan, before long he finds himself warming up to Barbra the dog and feeling the heat with Tory... and learning that not even his own advice could have prepared him for finally falling in love.» |

As a child, Maddie lost everything, and now she's back at the scene of the scandal — a local establishment that's always belonged to the Hennessys — determined to uncover the truth, and nothing is going to stand in her way. Especially not a black-haired, blue-eyed Hennessy. Everyone in Truly knows that the Hennessy men are irresistible, and the current owner, Mick, is no exception. His late father was a skirt-chasing heartbreaker who ended up causing disaster for two families. So far, Mick's managed to keep the ladies in line, but when he claps eyes on Maddie, with her luscious curves and tempting lips, he can't resist getting tangled up with her. But Maddie is keeping secrets, not the least of which is her true reason for being in town. And when Mick discovers what‘s really going on, there is going to be a whole lot of trouble in Truly. |

The (black) magical season is here — and whether it's a solstice séance gone demonically wrong with the incomparable Kim Harrison, a grossly misshapen Christmas with the remarkable Lynsay Sands, a blood-chilling-and-spilling New Year's with the wonderful Marjorie M. Liu, or a super-powered Thanksgiving with the phenomenal Vicki Pettersson, one thing is for certain: in the able hands of these exceptional dark side explorers, the holidays are going to be deliciously hellish! |

«Letterheads might be thought of as a passe business need with the omnipresence of email communication. On the contrary, they have taken on new importance!

Letterheads are a vitally-important part of a company's corporate identity. The challenge for the designer is to create a letterhead (or letterhead set) that will make a positive impression, appropriate for the firm's personality and corporate culture. «The Big Book of Letterheads» contains over 330 examples of letterhead designs. Each one was specifically chosen for its visual interest and the positive statement it makes about the business it represents. Use «The Big Book of Letterheads» as a reference and start creating well-designed, powerful pieces of communication.» |
