Publisher description

Hilarious and hair-rising true tales of office debauchery from the lawyer who gets paid to clean up the mess. Try to imagine the following workplace scenarios: two employees having hot and heavy sex in an open cubicle in full view of their coworkers. A boss conducting a business meeting while wearing nothing but a strategically-placed towel. Employees using Craigslist to arrange sexual trysts with hookers on company time. Breast-flashing. Oral sex solicitation via office e-mail. Impossible? Unbelievable? Richard Burton has tales you won’t believe actually happened over his decades spent as the attorney hired by companies to protect them when their employees act out. Employees Gone Wild collects some of the most outrageous and absolutely-true stories (names changed to protect the guilty of course) from Burton’s years on the job, along with his indispensible practical advice on how companies and the people that work for them can avoid the same pitfalls. Hilarious and eye-opening in the same breath, dozens of cartoons give Employees Gone Wild a light tone perfect for the coworker with a sense of humor. It’s also a great excuse for anyone that’s received a slap on the wrist from their job: Hey, at least I’m not as bad as that guy!

A vampire finds herself in a hair-raising situation in this Broken Hearts novel from New York Times bestselling author Michele Bardsley. Archaeologists like me, Moira Jameson, are ready for trouble. Okay, maybe not human-species-threatening trouble. Or the kind of trouble that arrives in the form of a sexy werewolf named Drake. Yeah. Werewolf. And I thought ancient curses and walking corpses were a joke. Um…not so much. ’Cause a walking corpse named Karn wants to reveal vampires, and all of parakind, to the humans. And everyone else thinks that’s a bad idea. Then a pyramid mysteriously appears in Broken Heart, Oklahoma, and I’m appointed to get inside, survive booby traps, and awaken two very old, very hungry vampires. Luckily, Drake has my back (and my front). Unfortunately, archaeology sometimes reveals some very nasty surprises. And I'll have to decide between saving myself…or saving the world.

Intrigue, magic spells gone awry and one hot, sexy hunk! After spending ten months in magic-abuse jail for a crime she doesn't remember committing, accident-prone witch-in-denial Bernice Sutton is zapped to the small paranormal town of Paris, Texas. With Miss Fee Line, her kitty drag-queen familiar by her side, Bernie just wants to fulfill the terms of her parole--shoveling horse and cow dung on a ranch--so she can get back to Boston and dig into the mystery of her parents' deaths and her witch lineage. But plans be damned, Bernie's quickly distracted by the town's quirky cast of magical characters, from Winnie--the sassy owner of the local witch halfway house--to the entire posse of Poise Pad wearers at the senior center. And then there's the biggest distraction of all, Ridge Donovan, Mr. Hot-Pants ranch owner. Maybe it couldn't hurt to let them teach her how to harness her magic; if nothing else, it might make her less of a walking disaster. And Ridge is one hunk--er, *helpful* study partner.

On one hand, he's the key to her lifelong questions. On the other, he could destroy the new life she's coming to enjoy--and the lives of all those she's coming to love.
