Elena O'Rourke packs a gun and an attitude. The gun, because she's a cop. The attitude? Let's just say her love life has been sorely lacking. But she'll be damned if apartment manager Bo Strongwell is going to be the guy to turn that around, despite his Viking warrior vibe, cannonball muscles, and black satin voice-because Bo's the biggest suspect in her murder investigation. Master vampire Bo Strongwell needs a cop snooping around like he needs a garlic body wash. Fighting rogue vampires keeps him busy enough without Elena suspecting him of murder-even if she smells and tastes like his deepest desires.

As a human who hunts vampires, I risk death each night I take to the streets. Bloodsuckers are stupidly fast. I have only my wits, my practice, and my weapons.Oh yeah, and my rage.Vampires killed my parents before my eyes when I was young. My revenge? I'll destroy every last one of the evil bastards, starting with their king.But only one man can help me locate the king. Achingly tall, dark, and too-sexy-for-his-own-good, Ryker is gorgeous enough to be the vamp king himself. But the devilish arch to his black eyebrow, his white, unfangy grin, and rocking the daytime are good clues that he's human.We'll have to work together as uneasy allies if I hope to get my final revenge on the king-only now it seems evil monsters are also after our prey, and they'll stop at nothing to see us all dead. And why are we having so much trouble finding the king?

For the majority of my life I have in one way or another engaged in caring for people suffering from various diseases and illnesses. First, as many of you know by now, taking care of boys dying from AIDS. In fact, most of the years were involved in caring for HIV/AIDS patients. Then a few years ago I formally trained for and received my Board-Certified Chaplain, BCC, credentials. As I have been reading through the Paul L. Swanson's translation of T'ien-T'ai Chih-I's Mo-Ho Chih-Kuan: Clear Serenity, Quiet Insight I have been mulling over, sitting with, ruminating, meditating on the section "Contemplating the Objects of Disease." Every living being endures in some form or another disease and suffering. Since so much of my life's work has been in this realm, I feel strongly compelled to offer my insights from studying this section. Perhaps it will be of benefit to many people or, as often is the case in my writing, I will mainly benefit.

When a shadow-man rescues newly minted police officer Sun-Hee

When top Minneapolis exec Ric Holiday says refuses to design an ad campaign for Meiers Corners, Dr. Synnove Byornsson is sent to plead the city

In December 2014 I was invited to Las Vegas by then Bishop Shokai Kanai of the Nichiren Order of North America. He suggested that I do a presentation on the Parable of the Skillful Physician and His Sick Children found in Chapter 16 of the Lotus Sutra. On many occasions I have been asked to share my experiences as a hospital chaplain. It seemed like a good opportunity to combine both and so I began writing this book. This book is the second volume in my series "Studying the Lotus Sutra". In this book as in all the books of this series I take one portion of the Lotus Sutra and examine it more deeply. This book focuses on the parable found in Chapter XVI of the Lotus Sutra; The Physician and His Ill Children. As I write about this parable I am tying to do so in a way that brings the stories told over 2500 years ago into our contemporary lives. I hope that through this little effort of mine a door will open for you to have a greater sense of connection to the Sutra.

Junior's get-out-of-Dodge attitude burns him but everything else about her inflames him.
