Opposites don't attract. They ignite.
Wes Sullivan is a military hero with a terrible secret. A secret that consumes him. Every day, it tightens its grip around his neck. And every day, he fights for control.
So he doesn't have time for a person like Whitney. She's the last person on earth he wants to date. She's a spontaneous risk-taker who likes to destroy a person's routine. Forget that. Forget her.
The feeling is mutual.
Wes is too serious. Too controlling. Too military. And worst of all? He's her best friend's older brother.
But times are tight, and she needs a roommate. And Wes needs a place to live.
She has the room. She can handle seeing him in the hall, with his perfect abs and cut jaw on display. She can ignore the way he looks at her.
She can resist him.
For now . . .

She was a shy little virgin, looking to rebel. I was a bad accident waiting to happen.

A BIOTECH RACE AGAINST TIME TO DEVELOP MILITARY-GRADE DRAGONS
Brilliant genetic engineer Noah Parker is pitted head-to-head against the founder of Build-a-Dragon to design custom dragons for the military.
Genetic engineer Noah Parker has at last landed the job he's long coveted: director of dragon design for the Build-A-Dragon Company. With a combination of genetic engineering and a cryptic device known as the Redwood Codex, he and his team can produce living, breathing dragons made-to-order. But sales of dragons have plummeted, and the Build-A-Dragon Company will have to find new revenue streams if it hopes to stay in business. A contract to develop dragons for the US military promises a much-needed lifeline. Yet the specs are more challenging than anything Noah has ever designed. Worse, he learns that a shadow company headed by former CEO Robert Greaves has stolen the dragon-making technology to make a competing bid. Noah's dragons will face off against those of his old adversary. It's a head-to-head design competition, with the ethical future of domesticated dragons hanging in the balance.
A twenty-six-year-old bodybuilder, Gunter Hoffman, with body dysmorphic disorder fears crowds. Weight training compensates his anxiety and keeps at bay his childhood nemesis, the Detour Man-a homeless man that reappears in nightmares during stress.
The gargantuan young man's shyness, and uncomely face thwart his chances to have a girlfriend. Midnight solo strolls in a NYC park yield solace until he stumbles onto a mugging yet he did not intervene.
PI Vinnie Briggs agrees to advise Gunter and wishes he had not. He doesn't understand the man who spans six feet in all directions. He doubts Gunter's mental acuity. Park mugging? Unlikely. Except it's true and more.
Along comes Katia, a casual encounter in a coffee shop, inviting Gunter to her party for his kindness-and his body fascinates her. But not the party friends, who mock Gunter's bulging biceps, thick legs, and serpentine veins. Gloom besets a tearful Gunter. Horror with Katia's murder. Shock with his arrest and a double homicide charge-Katia's and the body from the park.
Vinnie and Rita Light, and assistant PI, use unusual investigative methods-hacking, breaking-and-entering, sex-to prove Gunter's been framed to counter the district attorney's strong case.
The investigation leads to uncovering a terrorist plan by Tajikistan cousins living in Jersey City. Finding them and exposing their plot will exculpate Gunter. Tipping Homeland Security too early loses exonerating evidence. Time is short before Vinnie and Rita must warn the FBI and Homeland. And time runs out. They resign to failing Gunter unless they take a huge gamble-one that endangers the lives of many including children. The consequences are dire. Lives change. Gunter's life changes.
Build-a-Bear Workshop meets Jurassic Park when a newly graduated genetic engineer goes to work for a company that aims to produce custom-made dragons
Noah Parker, a newly minted PhD, is thrilled to land a dream job at Reptilian Corp., the hottest tech company in the American Southwest. He's eager to put his genetic engineering expertise to use designing new lines of Reptilian's feature product: living, breathing dragons.
Although highly specialized dragons have been used for industrial purposes for years, Reptilian is desperate to crack the general retail market. By creating a dragon that can be the perfect family pet, Reptilian hopes to put a dragon into every home.
While Noah's research may help Reptilian create truly domesticated dragons, Noah has a secret goal. With his access to the company's equipment and resources, Noah plans to slip changes into the dragons' genetic code, bending the company's products to another purpose entirely . . .
You awaken in an underground cell, stripped of your armor and your sword. Your fellow prisoners inform you that you're trapped in the Underdark, soon to be taken to the great drow city of Menzoberranzan and sold off as a slave. But word is that demons are stirring in the underworld's depth. Perhaps you can use that to break free, fighter. Welcome to the Forgotten Realms® Endless Quest®. You are about to embark on a journey. To where, only you could possibly say. It is not a journey like any you have been on before, where you start at the beginning and continue on a straight course until you reach the end. Instead, you will be presented with many choices along the way. Each time you are faced with one such choice, given to you by your narrator, make your decision from the options that are given and then follow the directions to continue your adventure. Once your quest has come to an end, either favorably or, as I'm afraid in some instances it is foretold, gruesomely, return to the beginning of the track or the last choice and try again.
An Academy like no other for a girl with a destiny that no one could handle . . .
Caelum. Home to 'freaks' the world over. Haven to children declared insane by humans, but whose beautiful minds contain the souls of seven creatures. In the human world, they're sick. Ill. Labeled schizophrenics at best, deviants at worst. At Caelum? They're normal. More than that, they're future warriors in a war no human knows is happening.
Into this mix tumbles Eve. An oddball even among oddballs. Raised in a cult, she can't handle a TV remote never mind news that she isn't insane, is old enough to join the war effort, and oh, is mated to several males.
Caelum is more of a home than she's ever known but, just like in the New Order Cult that reared her, anyone out of the ordinary is a dead man walking.
And Eve? She doesn't have seven souls like everyone else. She has eight. Dead woman walking?
Contains mature themes.
