Just enough to lose herself in his touch and the feel of his lips… Only their sexy little tryst isn’t quite what they signed up for. Because for the next month, Mon and Olivia are working on the same movie. Together. Now they’re discovering they have a lot more in common than Pinoyness and sizzling chemistry.

What happens when a simple deal gets…complicated? After losing his marriage and his beloved retail plant business, Teddy Hughes is ready to drown his sorrows—or would be, if he could afford another beer in his favorite dive bar.

Two worlds. One heart. Twelve hours. Bianca Maria Curtis is at the brink of losing it all when she meets Eric at a bar in Manhattan. Eric, as it turns out, is the famous Korean drama celebrity Park Hyun Min, and he’s in town for one night to escape the pressures of fame. From walking along Fifth Avenue to eating ice cream at Serendipity to sharing tender moments on top of the Empire State building, sparks fly as Bianca and Eric spend twelve magical hours far away from their respective lives. In that time, they talk about the big stuff: love, life, and happiness, and the freedom they both seek to fully exist and not merely survive. But real life is more than just a few exhilarating stolen moments in time. As the clock strikes the twelfth hour, Bianca returns back to the life she detests to face a tragedy that will test her strength and resolve—and the only thing she has to keep going is the memory of a man she loves in secret from a world away.

What are God Like Powers & Abilities? These are the abilities of the human spirit which are supposed to be impossible, but which really exist. The abilities and powers reviewed in this book include Telepathy, Psychokinesis, Levitation, Invisibility, Invulnerability, Teleportation, Creating your future, Prophecy, Omniscience, and much more. Why a book on this subject? I’ve read about these abilities over the years in many different books and articles (as well as my own experiences) and thought that others might want to learn about them in one organized encyclopedia of the subject. Why is this book worthwhile? This book will help the reader understand what is the basis for these powers before going into a full review of each one. Like most of my books, I take the reader through some background material before I get into the meat of the subject. In this case we start by reviewing the original source of God Like abilities “The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali”, and how these abilities and powers work. Then I provide an introduction to meditation and stillness practices, and how they help the seeker to get in touch with their own spirit After that we proceed into a discussion of the vital forces or “prana”, the energy body and what that energy is used for. What will I learn about these Powers and Abilities? In each of the chapters on individual powers and abilities I start by explaining what the ability is and how it has been used in the past. Then some historical and/or modern documented experiences of the ability or power is given. Finally, I provide exercises and practices to learn these abilities for yourself. I’m not going to claim that anyone can learn these abilities and powers right away, but a clear path is provided on how to get there. Reference materials to other books and sources which can help you learn more are also provided. This includes links in the electronic versions of the book and a detailed bibliography or sources.
