  Ours is a marriage of convenience . . . until it isn't. 
   
   
   
  What do you get when you throw a stoic D-Man, a free-spirited art therapist, and an enormous dog into a house? It sounds like an opening line to a joke. But this is my life . . . 
   
   
   
  I never expected to find myself legally tied to Maxim Dolov, the star defenseman for the Houston Wildcatters. Between his visa issues and my angry ex, a marriage on paper solves all our problems. Until our marriage becomes real . . . too real and I'm forced to confront the truth about our future: I don't want our marriage to end.

  Blaze Walker: Notorious bad boy. Star of the hockey team. He spends more time in bed with sorority girls or passed out on frat house floors than he does in classrooms. Which is why he's about to get kicked off the team unless he passes his finals. 
   
   
   
  Me: Girl genius who started college so young that I've just turned eighteen my senior year. Which has made dating while in college, well, pretty much impossible. 
   
   
   
  Hence, the v-card. 
   
   
   
  Blaze and I both have something the other wants. If I tutor him, he'll pass all his exams. And he has a personality so repugnant to me that I can have a totally un-emotional, no-strings-attached first time. Because there's no way I could fall for Blaze Walker. 
   
   
   
  Not even as my eyes begin to linger a little too long on his jagged muscles, and his on my thighs as we sit next to each other at the study table. Not even as the occasional brush of our hands elicits enough sparks to smell the smoke. Not even as our time studying together begins to peel back layers of the sexy-as-sin jock to reveal someone a lot more complicated than his reputation lets on . . .  
   
   
   
  Nope, there's just no way. Truly, a plan worthy of my genius. Nothing could go wrong.

  "Beowulf", a sprawling, fantastical tale of bravery, heroism, and Anglo-Saxon heraldry, is the most celebrated epic poem in the English language.  The story of the great Geatish fighter Beowulf, who comes to the aid of the beleagued Hrothgar and his men, this poem relates three epic battles: Beowulf's fight with the monster Grendel, his face-off with Grendel's vengeful mother and, after serving as King for 50 years, Beowulf's fateful clash with a fire-breathing dragon.  Francis B. Gummere's translation of this ancient text has been hailed for over a century and is here brought back to life with a summary of the poem by the English scholar Dr. J.L. Hall.

  Athena, the computer whiz, finds and experiments with an unusual video camera at Divine's Emporium.

Enemy invasion thwarted. For now. 
    
  She doesn't realize she also created a virtual copy of Doni, until an advanced computer class in college, when the artificial intelligence that calls herself London Holiday "moves into" her team's class project. 
    
  Athena suddenly has a good idea how Dr. Frankenstein felt. The question is: If she has to pull the plug on London Holiday … how?

This Christmas, she wants Noah Stamer. They've known each other since they were kids, but now she's all grown up, and determined to prove it to him. 
  Noah Stamer has always led a charmed life, but there's more to him than meets the eye, especially when it comes to what turns him on. Someone as sweet and innocent as Olivia Hanmer could never understand those kinds of needs, so when he pushes her away, it's for her own good. 
  One year later, when they find themselves together again at Christmas time on the other side of the world, it's possible they'll turn out to have more in common than they ever imagined. 
  This book contains scenes involving voyeurism and exhibitionism. It is unsuitable for listeners under the age of 18.
