Did you hear the one about the woman who gets fired, then busted for speeding on a country road and falls for the cop who pulled her over? Sergeant Jude Davis barely has enough hours in the day to protect and serve the small town of Kelly Lakes and take care of his ailing father. After his bitter divorce, he learned the hard way that he doesn't have time for romantic relationships. If only he could get everyone to stop trying to set him up on blind dates... When the grouchy officer pulled over a speeding driver, he wasn't prepared for Claudia. The sunshiney beauty is only in town long enough to nurse her professional wounds before heading back to Brooklyn. She's gorgeous, fiery, and everything he doesn't have time to enjoy. Jude can't afford to get close to her, so no one is more shocked than he is when he finds himself asking her for a favor. A few fake public cuddles and longing looks should be enough to put off his determined matchmakers, right?For the first time in years, this grumpy cop has something to smile about as the friendship develops certain "benefits." But when Claudia's temporary stay takes a turn for the permanent, Jude has to face facts. He can't be the man she deserves...but he's definitely not willing to watch her end up with someone else.

Gaia. Personification of the Earth. Mother of giants, monsters, titans. A primordial goddess with a history of rebellion and destruction, and a woman with a stubborn desire to have all her children at her side. A revered goddess with powers beyond imagination, she has allies in low places, and access to the most off-limits areas-including the perilous Underworld jail. Gaia needs that access to free her imprisoned children and dethrone Zeus, once and for all. With the aid of dead soulmates, zombified humans, and mind-controlled gods, she aims to restore order to Earth before it consumes itself, overrun with political feuds, deadly climate changes, and human greed. Angry and determined, she's on a warpath to avenge her beloved offspring locked up centuries ago. Holding on to a grudge many thought buried, Gaia will stop at nothing until she's successful. Untouchable. Glorious. Is anyone strong enough to stop a deity so powerful she can create armies with a well-placed whisper? Who has the wits-and the nerve-to oppose an ancient and incredibly resourceful goddess such as Gaia?

Rhea. Mother of Olympians. Goddess of motherhood and female fertility. A deity of comfort, of wisdom, of maturity. A fierce lioness, Rhea protects her children. She once helped toss her own husband into Tartarus to crown one of her sons king of the skies. But now, Rhea has succumbed to an evil voice in her head. She's on the prowl, hunting her family members, obeying the ominous commands in her mind that tell her to bite, drink, feast, intoxicate. She lurks about the halls of Olympus, seeking her next godly victim, attracted to the blue ichor running through its veins. And this ichor drives her mad. Parched. Ravenous. Will any of the gods uncover the truth behind her feedings? And is her famished behavior linked to the culprit controlling the gods via whispers in their ears? Who is out to destroy Olympus?

Eros. Also known as Cupid. Greek god of love and sexual desire. Sometimes depicted as an adorable, chubby little boy with wings, carrying a bow and arrows, flying around merrily, making everyone fall in love. That's not Eros. Not anymore. Eros is mad. He's all grown up now. And he's on a mission to provoke chaos, starting with humans. Instead of producing love, his arrows now produce hunger. Actual hunger. Cannibalistic, beastly, monstrous hunger. Carnivorous. Is the world ready for a raging Eros? Who can stop the angry god of love from eradicating the human race, two soulmates at a time?

Dieses Buch geht der Frage nach, wie angesichts einer viel diskutierten Reproduktionskrise die alltägliche Reproduktion und Regeneration gewährleistet werden kann. Die Autorin entwickelt durch die konzeptionelle Neusortierung des Forschungsstandes das Reproduktionsregime als neues Analysekonzept. Der analytische Mehrwert des Reproduktionsregimes entsteht durch die integrierte Betrachtung von politischen Reformen, darauf gründenden personalpolitischen Maßnahmen, individuellen Bewältigungsstrategien und den dahinterstehenden, für verschiedene Beschäftigtengruppen sehr unterschiedlich ausgeprägten Ressourcen. Symptome der Reproduktionskrise sind neben der Zunahme psychischer Belastungen und Erkrankungen eine steigende Zahl erwerbsunfähiger Menschen und der Anstieg von Arbeitsausfällen. Eine nachhaltige Sicherung der alltäglichen Reproduktion scheint vielen Menschen gegenwärtig nicht mehr möglich zu sein.
