All Taylor expects out of New Year’s Eve is a hangover and a kiss at midnight. When her boyfriend dumps her a week before the holiday, she turns to her friends Mikhel and Zach for comfort, never expecting more than a fun evening and peck on the cheek as the New Year begins. But as the night progresses, Mikhel and Zach seem different, almost animalistic. Definitely dangerous. And her friends are acting more like lovers...like they both want her. She knows the time will come when she has to choose between the two men…until Mikhel offers the option of her taking both men as her lovers. No matter what she decides, it’s going to be a wild New Year’s night…and beyond. NOTE: This book was originally published in 2006 under the same name.

They all want my attention, but I want hers. As a widowed father of a little boy, trying to keep up with my budding career is getting ridiculous. It’s my fault for being an expert, but that’s my secret. I live a humble life in the hills of Tennessee and work to live, not the other way around. But unfortunately, my secret is out. And with it, the headhunters are working to get me to leave my life of quite comfort and join the wild world of overseas living—London. And they’re damn smart about it. Sending a beautiful recruiter with an edge about her that lights my blood on fire. I never thought I’d love or lust again, but I was wrong. So wrong. She does things to me that make my decision easy. My focus has shifted from privacy to desire. And it all happened with a New Year’s Kiss.

Will a year of romantic near-misses end with the French kiss she's been waiting for?

This book aims to describe, though in a quite light way, the social role of plant diseases, letting the reader know the topical importance of plant pathology, as well as the role of plant pathologists in our society. Plant diseases caused, in the past, significant economic losses, deaths, famine, wars, and migration. Some of them marked the history of entire countries. One example among many: the potato late blight in Ireland in 1845. Today plant diseases are still the cause of deaths, often silent, in developing countries, and relevant economic losses in the industrialized ones. This book, written with much passion, neither wants to be a plant pathology text. On the contrary, it wants to describe, in simple words, often enriched by the author's personal experience, various plant diseases that, in different times and countries, did cause severe losses and damages. Besides the so-called “historical plant diseases”, in the process of writing this book, she wanted to describe also some diseases that, though not causing famine or billions of losses, because of their peculiarity, might be of interest for the readers. Thus, this book has not been conceived and written for experts, but for a broader audience, of different ages, willing to learn more about plant health and to understand the reasons why so many people in the past and nowadays choose to be plant pathologists. This is because plants produce most of the food that we consume, that we expect to be healthy and safe, and because plants make the world beautiful. The title “Spores” is evocative of the reproduction mean of fungi. Spores are small, light structures, often moving fast. The chapters of this book are short and concise. Just like spores!
