New York Times bestselling author Nalini Singh takes us into the hearts of two
fractured people in a world on the brink of a psychic Armageddon...
Silence has fallen. The Psy are free to feel emotion. Free to love. But Silence was never a
prison for Ivan Mercant. The biggest t...hreat to his future lies dormant in his brain-a
psychic monster that wants only to feed. And now, the brutal leash he's kept on that
monster is slipping. He prepared for this day, for the end of Ivan Mercant... but that was
before he met Lei.
As primal as she is human, this wild changeling brings color into his life, laughter to his
soul. Then the dream shatters in a rain of blood, in silent bodies in the snow. Lei is gone.
Vanished without a trace... until he meets strangely familiar eyes across a busy San
Francisco street.
Soleil Bijoux Garcia is a healer who has lost everything. She exists in a world of desolate
aloneness... till the day she finds herself face-to-face with a lethal stranger. The animal
who is her other half knows this man, but her memories are tattered fragments. Sorrow
and a need for vengeance are all that drive her. Her mission? To kill the alpha of the
DarkRiver leopard pack.
But fate has other plans. Soon, a deadly soldier who believes himself a monster and a
broken healer might be all that stand between life and death for the entire Psy race... Read more

Real Estate Expert Norah Deay knows what it takes to get the best price possible from a house. Working with 'Million Dollar Marnie' in New Zealand provided an insight into what helps sell a home quickly and, more often than not, for that dream price. It doesn't matter if the mark...et is hot or cold, the more you can take out of your present home the more you have to put into the next one. I've moved more times than I can remember but the two times I moved while living in New Zealand were the most stressful. We had lived in the first house for over ten years which was the longest I'd ever lived anywhere, plus the outside areas were in a dreadful state, so having to get a house ready for sale in three weeks was a huge task. We'd found a house we wanted to buy but had to sell ours first. The second time was more stressful, even traumatic. My husband and I had parted, and I had to get the house ready for sale. I wanted to get back to Ireland by Christmas (it was October) so there was a mad dash to get everything done. The only way I could do it was systematically and that led to the birth of this book. If you've got a big job to do, you need a plan. Getting your house ready for sale is a big job, and this book is your plan. This guide will take you step-by-step through your home over 30 days and you will end up with a house any buyer will desire. More importantly, a house that's sparkling, tidy and in great condition is always going to achieve a better monetary outcome than its tired and dull neighbour. The money you spend will be recouped in the sale price but unless you have some serious issues with your roof, electrical wiring or your foundations are falling in, this plan is not going to cost much money at all. The only thing you will need in abundance is elbow grease (i.e. strenuous physical exertion). So, block out 30(ish) days in your calendar because you're going to be entirely focused on getting your old house ready to become someone's new house. Read more
