Baxter S Bold Cub

He’d never felt pain so deep... Empathic alpha Vincent Baxter had rescued dozens of abused beta bear-shifters, but he’d never met one like Kinny Cross. Not only does the young cub awaken his protective instincts, but Kinny manages to erase the pain Baxter has absorbed from the other mistreated shifters, sparking an interest Baxter feels he has no right to have. Claimed by a sadistic mate who delights in torturing him, Kinny found himself imprisoned by metal and unable to shift for years. Convinced he’ll die long before he’s rescued, Kinny is shocked to find not only hope for a normal life but also a profound attraction to a true alpha male like Baxter. Even though Baxter doesn’t believe he deserves to be happy, things don’t work the way they once did. Instead of alphas having the right to choose, the second time around it’s betas who decide. Once Kinny realizes it’s his choice, Baxter doesn’t stand a chance, but that doesn’t mean the reluctant alpha will surrender without a struggle. Will Kinny be able to overcome Baxter’s past, or will the powerful bear-shifter remain alone? This M/M paranormal shifter romance contains a grumpy old bear who doesn’t believe he deserves love, a bold cub who will stop at nothing to get the mate he desires, a wide and diverse cast of fascinating shifters, and a hard-won HEA that will change their world forever. 54,500 words or 218 pages.

Jessica Hopper's music criticism has earned her a reputation as a firebrand, a keen observer and fearless critic not just of music but the culture around it. With this volume spanning from her punk fanzine roots to her landmark piece on R. Kelly's past, The First Collection leaves no doubt why The New York Times has called Hopper's work "influential." Not merely a selection of two decades of Hopper's most engaging, thoughtful, and humorous writing, this book documents the last 20 years of American music making and the shifting landscape of music consumption. The book journeys through the truths of Riot Grrrl's empowering insurgence, decamps to Gary, IN, on the eve of Michael Jackson's death, explodes the grunge-era mythologies of Nirvana and Courtney Love, and examines emo's rise. Through this vast range of album reviews, essays, columns, interviews, and oral histories, Hopper chronicles what it is to be truly obsessed with music. The pieces in The First Collection send us digging deep into our record collections, searching to re-hear what we loved and hated, makes us reconsider the art, trash, and politics Hopper illuminates, helping us to make sense of what matters to us most.
