A teen sex story without the teens or the gratuitous pool scene. A coming of age story now worrying about the expiration date more than the legal age. A once in a lifetime chance to make a second impression on your first loves. A Professor at a community college, a failed writer, a love refugee, 53 year old Dr. Tom Dawson gets a second chance at the dream. Would it even matter? This time even the cops would be called. Things and people change. It could be a sex comedy with a few shades of gray. It could just be a wild interlude preceding a boring retirement.

Book One Leader of a human colony planet, Taryn Demara has much more on her plate than maintaining peace or ensuring her people have enough to eat. Due to a virus that affects male embryos in the womb, there is a shortage of men. For decades, her people have enticed ships to their planet and tricked the men into staying. However, a ship hasn’t been spotted in eight years. So when the blip finally shows on the radar, Taryn is determined to conquer the newcomers at any cost to ensure her people’s survival. Prince Kason tro de Vallen needs to find a suitable planet for his people to colonize. The Kelderans are running out of options despite the fact one is staring them in the face—Planet Jasvar. Because a group of Kelderan scientists disappeared there a decade ago never to return, his people dismiss the planet as cursed. But Kason doesn’t believe in curses and takes on the mission to explore the planet to prove it. As his ship approaches Jasvar, a distress signal chimes in and Kason takes a group down to the planet’s surface to explore. What he didn’t expect was for a band of females to try and capture him. As Taryn and Kason measure up and try to outsmart each other, they soon realize they’ve found their match. The only question is whether they ignore the spark between them and focus on their respective people’s survival or can they find a path where they both succeed?

The cougar is one of the most beautiful, enigmatic, and majestic animals in the Americas. Eliciting reverence for its grace and independent nature, it also triggers fear when it comes into contact with people, pets, and livestock or competes for hunters’ game. Mystery, myth, and misunderstanding surround this remarkable creature. The cougar’s range once extended from northern Canada to the tip of South America, and from the Pacific to the Atlantic, making it the most widespread animal in the western hemisphere. But overhunting and loss of habitat vastly reduced cougar numbers by the early twentieth century across much of its historical range, and today the cougar faces numerous threats as burgeoning human development encroaches on its remaining habitat. When Maurice Hornocker began the first long-term study of cougars in the Idaho wilderness in 1964, little was known about this large cat. Its secretive nature and rarity in the landscape made it difficult to study. But his groundbreaking research yielded major insights and was the prelude to further research on this controversial species. The capstone to Hornocker’s long career studying big cats, Cougar is a powerful and practical resource for scientists, conservationists, and anyone with an interest in large carnivores. He and conservationist Sharon Negri bring together the diverse perspectives of twenty-two distinguished scientists to provide the fullest account of the cougar’s ecology, behavior, and genetics, its role as a top predator, and its conservation needs. This compilation of recent findings, stunning photographs, and firsthand accounts of field research unravels the mysteries of this magnificent animal and emphasizes its importance in healthy ecosystem processes and in our lives.
Hannah Welch doomed cougar shifter Sean Foye to spend the rest of his life in his animal form when she refused to accept him as a mate, but now she has no choice but to make peace. She strikes a bargain with the Cougar goddess La Bella Dama that frees Sean from his furry affliction, but also requires that Hannah to find him a more suitable mate. When the goddess sends them on a mission to root out a group of dangerous forgotten shifters, Sean has no choice but to put his anger toward Hannah on ice. The sooner he can get back to the ranch, the sooner he can disentangle himself from the hostile woman who was supposed to be his mate. But now Hannah’s not so sure she should give him up. He’s the only man who’s ever made her feel comfortable in her own skin—and her own fur, too. Unfortunately, Sean’s got hang-ups of his own. Just like her, he’s used to being overlooked. Can she prove to him that their destiny deserves a second chance? Or will they continue to walk alone, rejecting the loving, yet daunting, future Fate had in store for them?
