Rogue Moon
Trevor Dare is a werewolf haunted by memories of a life viciously ripped away from him, all for the sake of another man’s greed. They killed the woman he loved, and in so doing they unleashed a fury much too hot to ever be contained. It’s not the life Trevor signed up for when he fell in love and was willingly bitten. They made him what he has become… a killing machine. Melissa Cartwright is a detective on a mission to get to the bottom of the strange, animal-like executions occurring around the city.

Fated Moon
Billionaire werewolf, Trevor Dare, has learned two things – first, a wolf has no control over who his Fated Mate might turn out to be. And second, you should never kill a pack Alpha unless you want that Alpha position for yourself.

Detective Melissa Cartwright isn't even sure she believes in all the Fated Mates business. She can barely wrap her head around the fact that there are real live werewolves roaming her city, let alone the fact that she's dating one. But when Trevor's world starts to become all too real, Mel finds herself wondering if she's woman enough to handle it. As their bond deepens and grows, the mysterious Lycan Syndicate moves to assert its will over their lives. Trevor is given a choice – kill Melissa himself, or bite her and make her one of them. They should know by now the rogue wolf doesn't take orders from anyone.

By Hand
In a response to the sleek forms and perfect angles of most late twentieth century design objects, many of today's artists and designers are returning to handmade work such as hand lettering, hand drawing, and hand sewing. By Hand features an international collection of the most noteworthy artists and shows their work in detailed photography and insightful texts. From books to pillows to T-shirts to toys, the pieces in this volume define an alternative view of contemporary design. Personal craft is emphasized over perfection and the personality of the artist is put forth as a key element of the finished product. From Kiki Smith's lovingly etched birds to Barb Hunt's knitted land mines to dynamo-ville's one-of-a-kind puppets to Evil Twin's hand-stitched publications, today's art revels in the care and consideration of craft.
