has no blood to offer Kat, only pleasure. She can't resist going back night
after night to the loner who thinks he wants to be left alone. There's a
connection between them, and it's more than just sexual.

question. Spell Of Love: Flame In The Rain by Alyssa Brooks is available at Loose Id.

although the immense environmental problems our world faces can be overwhelming,
each and every one of us can do something to help our world - starting right
where we are, right now. Trash Talk is not a quick fix solution - it is about
changing consumer's mind-sets by providing ideas that inspire participation from
the ground level. It shows the direct effect of better waste and resource
management both for the environment and the wallet. Not everyone can afford to
donate cash or time to a cause but by implementing the concept of Trash Talk,
the average person can make small alterations in their lives that affect
