Rekker wasn’t expecting to be matched.

On the eve of being sent to retrieve a mysterious artifact, he’s sent something just as enigmatic.

A human woman, lush and curved.

His mate.

Even worse, she wants nothing to do with him.

His blood burns for her, but the need to make her happy overrides everything.

He’ll find a way to set her free, even if it means he’ll be alone. Forever.

But when danger comes from an unexpected source, they’re thrown together. And when his mate turns to him, he’ll protect her.

Keep her.

Claim her.

Lila Kanes never wanted any thing but a quiet life on her family farm. She certainly didn’t want to be claimed by a massive alien mate. 

Thrown into the stars, she’ll do whatever it takes to find a way home.

Back to Earth.

Back to her family.

She couldn’t possibly want to stay with the hot, horned alien with the amazing body, who made her feel like the most precious thing in the universe, could she?

Right?

A foolproof behavior-based method that will teach your child to sleep through the night.

Sleep is one of the most precious resources needed for children to develop physically, cognitively, and mentally during the earliest stages of their life. Despite this, many children find it difficult to fall asleep and maintain a steady slumber, and their parents suffer as well.

Dorit Kreiser is a midwife, breastfeeding consultant, psychotherapist, and sleep expert. On the basis of her rich experience, she has developed a behavior-based method to teach your child how to maintain their innate ability to fall asleep on their own and sleep through the night.

The method is comprised of six simple stages and is perfect for any parent hoping to introduce quality sleep into their child’s life, create stability in the home, and acquire unique solutions for complex situations:

• What to do when your child starts to teethe?
• What to do when your child is ill?
• What to do on holidays and special occasions?
• How to help your children sleep well even when you are away from home
