The last thing Lautner ever wanted was a mate. After a chance encounter, the clock is ticking. He has seventy-two hours to claim his mate or lose her forever. Danika: At nineteen, I had spent my life hidden in the shadows, controlled by the hands of my domineering father and pack Alpha. Now, he expects me to marry the pack Beta, an arrangement made long before I was born. Seeking a night of freedom, I head to the one place forbidden by my father, The Warehouse, ran by the notorious vampire Motorcycle Club, The Sun Sinners. Its reputation for violence and an array of unruly supernatural clientele is probably not the safest place for a shifter who has yet to turn, especially considering the number of enemies my father has. What I didn't expect was to find the man who would finally entice my wolf to the surface. Too bad he looks like he would rather kill me than f*ck me. I always believed that fated mates never existed, but could he be the one to save me? Lautner: As pack enforcer, and undefeated illegal cage fighter, violence is a part of my life. My father taught me that from an early age. He also taught me that mates are nothing more than a problem that I didn't need...until I met her. Her scent catches me off guard, almost costing me my life, and yet as much as I don't want her, my wolf has other ideas. I want nothing more than to hide out until the bond is over, but when a shifter turns up mutilated on the outskirts of Stone Valley, it looks like the rumors about the hunters are true. The Shifter Council has ordered neighboring Packs to work together and bring them down. Given the animosity between the packs and my wolf going mate crazy, the last thing I expected was her to turn up at my door...with her fiancé in tow. Lautner is Book One in The Stone Valley Pack Series but can also be read as a standalone. It is a full 70,000 word novel with a HEAFN. Please look out for Seth's story in Book Two coming soon. This book is recommended for readers 18+ due to strong language and steamy sex scenes. Warning this book contains scenes of abuse/assault that some readers may find triggering.

One of the visionary architects of the twentieth century, John Lautner designed dramatically innovative buildings with a rare sensitivity to site, vista, and structure. Accompanying a full-scale exhibition on Lautner at Los Angeles's Hammer Museum, this is the first publication to comprehensively explore his work, including his apprenticeship with Frank Lloyd Wright and the cultural and geographical context of Los Angeles, through an intensive examination of the archives of the John Lautner Foundation. Although Lautner's dramatic houses are well-known, this is the first time his work has been seriously examined by scholars. Historian Nicholas Olsberg contributes an analysis of Lautner's evolution, providing social and cultural context. Architect Frank Escher covers the relationship between his experiments in structure and poetics of space, and Jean-Louis Cohen discusses Lautner's place in new design tendencies.This richly illustrated monograph includes previously unpublished sketches, drawings, construction images, and Lautner's own photographs to unveil the evolution, originality, and logic of his designs, focusing on the atmospheres and vistas they establish and the connections to landscape and sensory fluidity that mark their innovative spatial arguments.

Andrew Morton uncovers the true story of the biggest celebrity of our age. Everyone knows Tom Cruise—or at least what he wants us to know. We know that the man behind the smile overcame a tough childhood to star in astonishing array of blockbusters: Top Gun, Rain Man, Born on the Fourth of July, A Few Good Men, Jerry Maguire, several Mission: Impossible movies, and more. We know he has taken artistic chances, too, earning him three Academy Award and Golden Globe nominations. But beyond that, the picture becomes a bit less clear... We know that Tom is a devoted follower of the Church of Scientology. We know that, despite persistent rumors about his sexuality, he has been married to Mimi Rogers, Nicole Kidman, and Katie Holmes. But it was not until he jumped on Oprah's couch to proclaim his love for Katie and denounced Brooke Shields for turning to the "Nazi science" of psychiatry that we began to realize how much we did not know about the charming, hardworking star. For all the headlines and the rumors, the real Tom Cruise has remained surprisingly hidden—until now.
