Hetta Coffey is a sassy Texan with a snazzy yacht, and she's not afraid to use it!
A globe-trotting engineer with adventure in her soul, Hetta is determined to solidify her relationship with her long-distance boyfriend, Jenks Jenkins. What better place for a romantic interlude than aboard her yacht in Mexico's hauntingly beautiful and solitary Sea of Cortez?
But where Hetta goes, trouble follows, and chaos is sure to ensue. After a run-in with a couple of sea serpents that threaten to rock the boat, she nevertheless decides to take on a project in the Mexican port city of Guaymas. After all, Jenks is headed back to Kuwait, so why not cash in on the best of both worlds by picking up a few pesos while living aboard her boat in Mexico?
Once again Hetta's indomitable spirit, stubborn independence and penchant for deceit will keep the reader in stitches as she launches herself and her best friend, Jan, into a sea of trouble. A pesky parrot, a drunken aunt, and a shadowy figure who is handsome in a "criminal sort of way" lead to murder, mayhem, kidnapping, and run-ins with several federal agencies on both sides of the border.
Opiate addiction has reached epidemic proportions in the United States and the problem shows no signs of slowing. Overcoming addiction is tough and, with opiates, many find it nearly impossible. Overdose deaths from prescription painkillers have more than tripled over the last decade and this is just a fraction of the problem. In fact, with prescription opiate addiction now shown to be a gateway drug to heroin, the issue is only getting worse. In 2011 alone, nearly 200,000 people in this country tried heroin for the first time, a drug that can be deadly from its first use.
If you or someone you love is addicted to opiates, Opiate Addiction , now in its 3rd Edition, offers a powerful message balanced with both useful information and hope for a way out from its stifling grip. There is no doubt that addiction is a cunning and cruel disease that robs its victims of nearly everything. Those suffering from opiate addiction are often baffled by its affects on their lives and the devastation that can be wrought in such a short period of time. Loved ones feel helpless and hopeless as they are forced to stand by and watch as someone they care about erodes before their eyes.
Are you looking to move beyond addiction? With a clear approach to providing hard facts and drawing on her own history of opiate addiction and recovery, author Taite Adams is able to give the opiate addict or their loved ones answers to many questions, allay a lot of fears and provide a clear direction for a way out. Some of the areas that are addressed in detail are:

When a handsome American cowboy rides onto her father’s rancho, Catarina sees her chance—as long as she doesn’t get caught and dishonor her family.
Jace Merrill’s worked thirteen years to earn a ranch of his own and prove his all-too-respectable father wrong.

Two days after Christmas, 1948, in a city that could be New York, a young woman prepares to get a life-altering haircut. She's a princess, a post-war refugee, from an Eastern European principality that no longer exists. And she's being forced by her guardians-- her nefarious aunt and uncle-- to marry an obscenely rich industrialist who's got something of a hair fetish. The man, it seems, is aroused only by her amazingly long, glorious hair. So to save herself, she decides to get it all cut off. But she doesn't count on falling in love with the handsome young barber who refuses, at first, to do her bidding. Nor does the barber count on becoming entranced by the strangest customer he's ever encountered. Even after the severely shorn former princess is beaten beyond recognition for her act of rebellion, the barber, a widower still grieving for his late wife, finds her irresistible. Add to the mix Misha, an angel from the Old Country whose specialty is New Year's Eve. Ultimately, "The Haircut" is a story that weaves whimsy with romance, plus more serious themes, as it underscores the timelessness and hope of the season in which it's set.

“My arms!” Brenda cried, struggling against the strain in her shoulders and upper back. “Who are you? Why are you doing this to me?”
A dark window came down in front of her, and a gush of new car smell hit her in the face. The man from restaurant met her gaze in the mirror as the car squealed out of the alley. “Didn’t my partner introduce herself?”
Brenda’s stomach lurched when they stopped—too fast—for a red light. For some reason, she didn’t want to get the pretty girl in trouble, and said, “Green. She’s Green, she said. She did introduce herself, yes, but I don’t know who you are, or why you… why… why am I here?”
Her body gave in to the onslaught of tears, and she hung her head, letting them fall unhindered into her lap. She could have used a little tenderness, maybe an arm around her shoulders, but Green didn’t budge. All she said, was, “Come on, Mitzi. Get a grip. Enough with the waterworks.”
“Green!” said the man in the driver’s seat. His tone sounded castigating, and that made Brenda feel somewhat vindicated. “Maybe she doesn’t know.”
“Know what?” Brenda howled. “What’s going on? Why do you keep calling me Mitzi?”
“What would you like us to call you?” the driver asked.
“Brenda,” she blubbered. “My name is Brenda.”
Green shook her head. “She’s not co-operating, Red. This one’s gonna be a tough nut to crack.”
“We’re not cracking any nuts, here,” said the driver—Red, apparently—when Brenda howled. “Look what you’re doing to the woman, Green. Lay off for a while.”
“Lay off the wife of a key player in a major crime syndicate?” Green sneered.
“What?” Brenda cried. And suddenly, out of nowhere, she was laughing. “Who, Danny? You think he’s a mob boss? My husband won’t even cross against a light.”
Green let out a growl. “See, Red? Stonewalling us. They’re all the same, these mob bitches.”

My boss is an asshole. I’d take off my heels and throw them at his face, if they weren’t so expensive. Why? Because my boss, the sexy, billionaire bad boy Leo King, wants me to be his wife.
That’s right. His wife. Except, it isn’t real. It’s all pretend so his family believes it, and I’m supposed to go along with it. Asshole doesn’t even begin to describe him, and it’s only going to get worse. Especially because his cocky attitude and sudden interest in my private life make it difficult to concentrate on something other than his sexual innuendos. I always do what he wants, and we both know it. It’s not like I have a choice. Agree or get fired.
I’m going to need a drink … Or twenty.
If the wrong people find Leigh Thorn, she’s dead.
She's hiding out in a backwoods college because of her father’s involvement with a corrupt shadow wing of an arms corporation. The last thing she wants to think about is the fact she’s in danger. No, instead, she’d rather make life a non-stop party—snorting lines and shooting marshmallow-flavored vodka until she can’t remember any of it.
Griffin Fawkes says her father sent him to protect her, but near as she can tell, all he’s doing is raining on her parade. Griffin’s restrained, no-nonsense, and no fun. Gorgeous, sure. Practically lickable. Solid and taut and rippling and…
But she’s not going to let that distract her. Of course not.
"One life will make the difference." Macey Holsinger has heard that promise for as long as she can remember. But it hasn't saved anyone yet, not even her little brother.
Little is known about the disease, except that it’s a rapid and absolute killer. Countless lives have been claimed in the last hundred years, and government scientists are working hard to stop the spread through human experimentation. Testing has killed nearly as many people as the disease and, to Macey at least, it seems like they’re no closer to a cure.
At sixteen, conformity to the government’s idea of “sacrifice for the greater good” is a difficult concept for Macey. Shocked by how many aspects of life the disease controls, she faces her own testing reluctantly.
Macey feels alone as questions plague her about things that are simply a way of life for most. Questions no one else thinks to ask. Why is the quest for a cure reason enough to ban things like flags and freedom of expression? How can death be justified with more death? In the end, how much will the cure cost, and why is Macey the only one who thinks the price is too high?
Answers evade her until she's left with only one question… How much will she sacrifice in the name of the cure?
"The seasons are changing. The lines are faltering, undoing the old and bringing life to the new. Trees will fall, and changed earth will be left in their place. A storm is coming."
Finn doesn't remember much about her previous life, and in a world that has been changed by the wars of the Tuatha De, where trust is hard to come by, answers are even more difficult to find. Little does she know, an unknown evil tugs on the strings of fate, and the answers she so desperately seeks may be more important than she could have ever imagined.
Whenever Fidelity Scott hears a certain gentleman’s name, she turns into a mindless, quivering puddle of drool. Well, in all honesty, every young lady does. Sylvestre Brightenburg is that bewitching.

But when Fidelity realizes everyone in Mayfair knows of her name-induced drooling, she’s mortified to her bones. Her reputation’s only hope is for her to escape to the country, even though that will leave her two young cousins without a chaperone next season. But before she leaves, Grey convinces Fidelity to attend one more masked ball. Armed with a new and sensuous gown, a full-face mask, and complete anonymity, she’s determined to make some scandalous memories to sustain her for the rest of her Brightenburg-less life.
But Grey has other plans for her last evening in town, plans that don’t include the blistering rake all the ladies are sighing over. How can he convince Fidelity she’s making a terrible mistake? How can he win her heart in the crush of a winter masked ball?
