She doesn't think she needs a hero, but he's taking the job. Deputy Sheriff and cougar Stryker Hill is not on duty when the sheriff asks him to check out a possible break-in of a resident's home while they are away on a cruise. What he doesn't expect is to find the beautiful and mysterious cougar he'd seen at a Christmas charity where he was showing his abs off as Santa Claus. But she's got some moves to rival his own as she takes him down and he's left wondering who she really is and how he's going to keep her from leaving Yuma Town before he learns the truth. Cougar shifter Nina Lamar has to protect her sister from the pharmacist who laid the blame on her for his thievery, and Nina has to help clear her sister's name. But now Nina's got the sexy Santa on her case, and she needs to deal with him first. She has to admit he's just as hot as when she'd first seen him, but the guys who are after her sister, are after her too now. She to needs save them both before it's too late. Too bad Stryker thinks she's one of the bad guys, unless she can prove otherwise. That's hard to do when her visions are the only proof of why she's there in the first place. But time is running out, and she has to save her sister—nothing else matters…except the sexy deputy sure can be a hot distraction on the cold, snowy nights.

A study of urban nature that draws together different strands of urban ecology as well as insights derived from feminist, posthuman, and postcolonial thought. Postindustrial transitions and changing cultures of nature have produced an unprecedented degree of fascination with urban biodiversity. The “other nature” that flourishes in marginal urban spaces, at one remove from the controlled contours of metropolitan nature, is not the poor relation of rural flora and fauna. Indeed, these islands of biodiversity underline the porosity of the distinction between urban and rural. In Natura Urbana, Matthew Gandy explores urban nature as a multilayered material and symbolic entity, through the lens of urban ecology and the parallel study of diverse cultures of nature at a global scale. Gandy examines the articulation of alternative, and in some cases, counterhegemonic, sources of knowledge about urban nature produced by artists, writers, scientists, as well as curious citizens, including voices seldom heard in environmental discourse. The book is driven by Gandy’s fascination with spontaneous forms of urban nature ranging from postindustrial wastelands brimming with life to the return of such predators as wolves and leopards on the urban fringe. Gandy develops a critical synthesis between different strands of urban ecology and considers whether "urban political ecology," broadly defined, might be imaginatively extended to take fuller account of both the historiography of the ecological sciences,and recent insights derived from feminist, posthuman, and postcolonial thought.

Seventh grade was the year Cassandra lost it all: her crush, her social status, and her best friend. This year she's taking it back. She's determined not to let anything keep her from joining the in-crowd and becoming the It Girl. Even if it means changing her hair, her clothes, the way she walks, and who she talks to. It's exhausting work. But Cassie wants to be someone different. So drastic measures are necessary. Except will anyone like the new Cassie? Will she even like herself?
