Voodoo on the Bayou by Elle James "By day a frog, by night a man, 'til de next full moon..." At first, lawyer and ladies' man Craig Thibodeaux thought Madame LeBieu's chant was a strange bayou joke. But the voodoo worked and Craig is spending his days as...well, a small green frog. Now he has only two weeks to find love, or his new froggy transformation becomes permanent. When she receives the anonymous toxic water sample from Bayou Miste, research scientist Elaine Smith decides a trip to the bayou is the perfect excuse to escape the lab, and forget about her cheating ex-fiancé. Then she accidentally stumbles upon Craig's oh-so-fine naked form, and her science-nerd brain is overrun with naughty thoughts about her new gorgeous night-time bayou guide. But there's more to Bayou Miste than voodoo curses and sexy late-night trysts. Dark secrets threaten the delicate ecosystem, and there are those who would do anything to keep those secrets hidden. Even murder...

Sometimes, it’s our secrets that define us… Sand Cove may be a beautiful secret haven tucked away from the city with picture-perfect residents, but what lies beneath the luxury is more than what meets the eye. Luca Moretti, thrice-divorced, is an award-winning movie director who has a reputation for bedding many of his co-stars, including his current wife, Tahira. When Tahira finds out, can he handle the tables being turned? Tahira Moretti is a London-bred actress who is unhappily married to the older Luca, who constantly criticizes her to mask his indiscretions. His lack of attention to her practically drives her into the arms of their neighbor, Alohnzo. Alohnzo Kelly is a very handsome bachelor who can have any woman he wants, but he only has eyes for one. He knows he must conceal his feelings for Tahira. Keeping secrets seems to be something that runs in his family. From the outside, Noble and Tru Mason appear to have the perfect marriage. Yet, the secrets they carry have the potential to destroy it . . . and them. When one of the residents turns up dead, almost everyone becomes a suspect, and the community will no longer be the same.

The landmark self-help bestseller that has inspired and enhanced the lives of more than 30 million readers. In this updated edition, with a new introduction and editorial commentary by Matt Furey, president of the Psycho-Cybernetics Foundation, the original 1960 text has been annotated and amplified to make Maxwell Maltz's message even more relevant for the contemporary reader. Maltz was the first researcher and author to explain how the self-image (a term he popularized) has complete control over an individual's ability to achieve, or fail to achieve, any goal. He developed techniques for improving and managing self-image visualization, mental rehearsal and relaxation which have informed and inspired countless motivational gurus, sports psychologists, and self-help practitioners for more than sixty years. Rooted in solid science, the classic teachings in Psycho-Cybernetics continue to provide a prescription for thinking and acting that lead to life-enhancing, quantifiable results.

They're sixteen, and they are . . . fine. Scarlett comes home and finds a mom she barely recognizes, and doesn't really recognize the person she's supposed to be, either. But she thinks she remembers Lucas. Lucas remembers Scarlett, too, except they're entirely unable to recall where they've been or what happened to them. Neither of them remember the sixth victim, Max--the only one who hasn't come back. Which leaves Max's sister, Avery, wanting answers. She wants to find her brother--dead or alive--and isn't buying this whole memory-loss story. But as details of the disappearance begin to unfold, no one is prepared for the truth. This unforgettable novel--with its rich characters, high stakes, and plot twists--will leave readers breathless.

This expanded fourth edition defines and cross-references 9,040 homophones and 2,133 homographs (up from 7,870 and 1,554 in the 3rd ed.). As the most comprehensive compilation of American homophones (words that sound alike) and homographs (look-alikes), this latest edition serves well where even the most modern spell-checkers and word processors fail--although rain, reign, and rein may be spelled correctly, the context in which these words may appropriately be used is not obvious to a computer.
