Halloween night, a game of truth or dare, and the one man she can’t have… With Halloween night to herself, all Mysta wanted was a quiet evening in the library. Tucked away behind the stacks of books, she tries to ignore her attraction to the man she had to leave behind to save her family—fox shifter and manager of the library, the deliciously addicting Viktor—her tattooed, fantasy man. It’s clear Viktor wants her too, and neither his flirting nor the distracting shimmer of desire in his eyes make him easy to ignore. And with Viktor’s best friend egging them on, Mysta knows she’s in deep trouble… So when the boys suggest a game of truth or dare to pass the time, and then up the ante by adding a roll of the dice, Mysta can’t bring herself to refuse. Each roll exposes them in more ways than one—more hot, sexy, delicious ways—but uncomfortable truths, and long-buried desires, are revealed. Viktor has always wondered why his mate, Mysta, disappeared, and now he’s going to find out. But can he outfox the woman who’s an expert at slithering away?

The rules are about to change… The rules are simple. Every few months, Violet Watson meets up with Colin Samuels and Mackenzie Scott, two pro football players whose skill on the field is only outdone by their expertise in the bedroom. The rules mean no promises. No limits on the creativity or the passion. And no questions. Violet is a strong professional woman, not some sports team groupie, and she keeps the wildness of her sex life with them carefully separate from her personal life. Only Colin Samuels and Mackenzie Scott want more. The sex between the three of them has always been blazing hot, but wanting love and commitment? That’s breaking the rules. Rules that Violet set…and now rules she’s torn over. Because it’s clear Colin and Mac are looking for far more than wild sex, and keeping her in their lives is now their ultimate goal. Colin dominates the field and the bedroom. Along with Mackenzie, his teammate and lover, Colin has everything he could ever want…almost. He has riches, fame, an island home, but he doesn’t have Violet. She has always thrown up walls between their ménage and her personal life, keeping the two carefully separate to protect her career and her ability to live her life with no one to answer to. But if the three of them are to have anything deeper, Colin knows he must break through those walls. A sexy game with questions might be the only way to get the curvy and beautiful Violet to finally open up to them, not just physically, but emotionally, and let them deeper into her life. Mackenzie warns that they are taking a huge chance pushing for more, but Colin has never been one to shy away from risk. This might be their final chance to make her theirs forever… Reader note: a stand-alone story containing MMF bisexual menage, BBW heroines, sports stars, very hot romance elements, male male love, and a happily ever after

From the Hugo and Nebula award-winning author of the science fiction masterpiece Dune, Frank Herbert's The Dragon in the Sea is a riveting thriller of a submarine crew trapped in the depths of the sea, hunted by one of their own. In the endless war between East and West, oil has become the ultimate prize. Nuclear-powered subtugs brave enemy waters to tap into hidden oil reserves beneath the East's continental shelf. But the last twenty missions have never returned. Have sleeper agents infiltrated the elite submarine service, or are the crews simply cracking under the pressure? Psychologist John Ramsay has gone undercover aboard a Hell Diver subtug. His mission is to covertly observe the remainder of the four-man crew—and find the traitor among them. Sabotage and suspicion soon plague the mission, as Ramsay discovers that the stress of fighting a war a mile and a half under the ocean exposes every weakness in a man. Hunted relentlessly by the enemy, the four men find themselves isolated in a claustrophobic undersea prison, struggling for survival against the elements . . . and themselves.

The book puts into plain words a changing dimension of politics in a traditional regime and offers an insight into the emerging transition to royal, semi-authoritarian democracy in Bhutan. Bhutan represents a political system which coalesces the rhetorical acquiescence of democracy with illiberal authoritarian attributes under the former royalist shadow. Royal democracy is a myth and only paints the frontage of democracy. The smokescreen of this kind of authoritarian regime is not yet democracy but is instead a new form of semi-authoritarian rule. The political reforms in Bhutan were orchestrated by the “traditional regime and elites in a traditional society” as a tightly controlled, top-down process without devolution of power outside the regime. Royal Democracy can best be understood as an attempt to construct a political regime that impersonates democratic institutions but works outside the logic of political representation and seeks to repress any vestige of genuine political pluralism. Exploring the authoritarian logic behind the democratic rhetoric is especially important for Bhutan, which is today glorified by the UN as “The Mecca of Gross National Happiness” and depicted by many as a model of top down democracy on popular media and in academia. Holding State controlled elections alone does not create a cure for deeper political, economic, and social predicaments besetting Bhutan and does not create a solid foundation for democratic transition. The glitter of royal, semi-authoritarian democracy is a “Jigmecracy,” an old Jigme’s system with new labels, a classic case of transition from a traditional regime in a traditional society.
