Eighteen-year-old Roxie Sebastian lives a charmed life, and she knows it. But she couldn’t feel it—until she learns that she’s half angel, a being from another dimension, and she was separated from the light that is her soul during her traumatic birth. Someone has been screwing with that light, using it to commit crimes, and their actions are about to cause irreparable damage to two worlds: the one she lives in, and the one she can’t remember. Aided by her best friend Jordan, her boyfriend Tucker, and fellow half-angel Lincoln, Roxie tracks down the criminal and uncovers many more secrets not only of her past, but of the history of their race on Earth. And then she faces a horrible dilemma—the only way she can stop them from ripping apart both worlds is to fuse with her light…which could be tainted by the evil with which it was used. ~~~~~ Fusing with her soul has allowed Roxie to feel complete for the first time in her life. But that doesn’t mean everything is fine. Her angel-assigned mission prevents her from going to college and forces her to lie to her parents. She sucks at the cool powers that come along with being half angel. And now she finds out that angels aren’t the whole story. There are shadows, too, and a centuries-old battle between angels and shadows has somehow put Roxie right in the middle. Forget fake homework and the easy, memorable summer-before-college she’s not having—the stakes are suddenly life or death, and the main casualty could be the one person she can’t live without. ~~~~~ After saving the world (again), Roxie continues to struggle with the emotional explosion that came with her fusion. Her relationship with her parents is cracking under the strain of too many lies. And now she and her friends have let into our world a being of unimaginable power and unknown intentions. As a series of visions show her truths even the other angels and shadows didn’t know, new threats close in. She must unite allies and enemies in a race to save her father from possession and the world from invasion. She can’t succeed without the help of Gaia, the most powerful angel, who almost killed her 18 years ago. But that help will come at a most terrible price…

Collins Avenue Confidential matches Miami's hottest gay men. Each of the four books in this collection is a standalone gay romance with a feel-good HEA and love hotter than the Miami sun. The Mechanic and the Surgeon Ritter Lehman, a hard-driving Miami orthopedic surgeon, can't find a man who will put up with him, and he won't slum by dating a "wrench monkey." Joshua, a young and closeted mechanic, is willing to give Ritter a chance, but doesn't want to be just another notch on his scalpel. Swing State Reg Tarry, Florida’s closeted Republican presidential candidate, meets Clint, a young, out-and-proud law student who's been heckling his speeches. The Pilot and the Professor James used to have a man in every layover city, but after the crash, he only wants to lounge on the beach and take a college class for fun. The beefy, bearded professor, Claude, just had a crash of his own that scared him away from romance. The Minister and the Rock Star Pastor Darius Keen can't find a man who sees him for him. Heavy metal guitarist Dan Schultz is tired of faking being straight, but doesn't want to be a notch on some celebrity-chaser's bedpost. Dan lets the n-word fly, Darius sulks, and their initial meeting is a disaster, but their attraction is real.

Theformulationofmanypracticalproblemsnaturallyinvolvesconstraintsonthe variables entering the mathematical model of a real-life situation to be analyzed. It is of great interest to ?nd the possible scenarios satisfying all constraints, and, iftherearemanyofthem,eitherto?ndthebestsolution,ortoobtainacompact, explicit representation of the whole feasible set. The 2nd Workshop on Global Constrained Optimization and Constraint S- isfaction, COCOS 2003, which took place during November 18–21, 2003 in L- sanne, Switzerland, was dedicated to theoretical, algorithmic, and application oriented advances in answering these questions. Here global optimization refers to ?nding the absolutely best feasible point, while constraint satisfaction refers to?ndingallpossiblefeasiblepoints.AsinCOCOS2002,the?rstsuchworkshop (see the proceeedings [1]), the emphasis was on complete solving techniques for problems involving continuous variables that provide all solutions with full rigor, and on applications which, however, were allowed to have relaxed standards of rigor. The participants used the opportunity to meet experts from global optimi- tion, mathematical programming, constraint programming, and applications, and to present and discuss ongoing work and new directions in the ?eld. Four invited lectures and 20 contributed talks were presented at the workshop. The invited lectures were given by John Hooker (Logic-Based Methods for Global Optimization), Jean-Pierre Merlet (Usual and Unusual Applications of Interval Analysis), Hermann Schichl (The COCONUT Optimization Environment), and Jorge Mor ́ e (Global Optimization Computational Servers). This volume contains the text of Hooker’s invited lecture and of 12 c- tributed talks. Copies of the slides for most presentations can be found at [2].
