Amid a burst of confetti and a flight of balloons, the ribbon was parted on the new Church of Scientology Ideal Organization of Phoenix on Saturday, June 23. More than 1,500 Scientologists, neighbors and dignitaries joined Church officials for the dedication ceremony.
Located on the southeast corner of 44th Street and Indianola Ave, the new Church stands just a mile south of Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard's historic home in the shadow of Camelback Mountain. It was there in 1952 he arrived at the monumental discovery that gave birth to the Scientology religion: the isolation, identification and exteriorization of the human spirit. During the formative years of the religion, Scientologists traveled to this city from across three continents to hear Mr. Hubbard speak. He delivered over 600 lectures in Phoenix—more than in any other city in the world. These lectures, along with seminal Scientology works he authored in Phoenix, comprise a significant portion of the religion's fundamental scripture.
Signaling the historic import of the opening, Mr. David Miscavige, Chairman of the Board Religious Technology Center and ecclesiastical leader of the Scientology religion, dedicated the new Church. In honoring the moment, he told Phoenix parishioners: "You are about to embark on a new chapter in your history. And it all begins with an undying pledge to uphold that rare spirit of competence, compassion and benevolence with which L. Ron Hubbard originally founded Scientology. For only in that way will we ever achieve the Aims of Scientology, and thus that world without war; a world of which we can be proud, where the able can prosper, where honest beings have rights and all are free to rise to greater heights. And, yes, that is our responsibility as Scientologists. And, yes, it's one we proudly embrace."
Phoenix dignitaries welcoming the new Church included Mayor Greg Stanton; Arizona Interfaith Movement Founder and Executive Director Dr. Paul Eppinger; Higley Unified School District Community Programs and Policy Executive Director Tony Malaj; and West Mesa Justice of the Peace Mark Anderson.
Mayor Greg Stanton said in his salutatory address: "I consider myself to be a very lucky mayor today. Because there is only one city on Earth that can claim the title 'Birthplace of Scientology', and I'm proud that it's right here in Phoenix. So congratulations to the Church of Scientology for your amazing Ideal Org."
Arizona Interfaith Movement Founder and Executive Director Dr. Paul Eppinger highlighted Scientology's role in the interfaith community: "The Church of Scientology has had strong, effective representatives on our board. Being so close to where L. Ron Hubbard lived, conceived, and wrote so many of the basic and original concepts of Scientology, it is natural for the Church of Scientology to be a vital part of the Arizona Interfaith Movement—and such you are!"
Higley Unified School District Community Programs and Policy Executive Director Tony Malaj spoke of the Church's literacy and study programs: "There are teachers in Arizona public schools and charter schools today who are breaking through barriers and achieving a new level of success with their students as a result. I want you to know that you are helping those of us in education to achieve our mission."
West Mesa Justice of the Peace Mark Anderson recognized the work of the Church to protect families in Arizona: "When I was in the Arizona Legislature, we guaranteed that parents would no longer be forced to put their children on damaging psychotropic drugs. That was a landmark victory for all of us. And I am proud to say that our success, in large part, was due to the dedication and hard work of staff and parishioners of the Church of Scientology."
The new 45,000-square-foot Church comprises a complex of buildings on a two-acre campus. The Church invites Phoenix residents to learn about Dianetics and Scientology in its expansive Public Information Center. Visitors are welcome to take a self-guided tour of the Center's displays, which present informational and documentary films on the beliefs and practices of the religion, as well as the life and legacy of Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard. The Information Center further presents the full array of Church-sponsored humanitarian programs, including a worldwide human rights initiative; an equally far-reaching drug education, prevention and rehabilitation program; a global network of literacy and learning centers; and the Scientology Volunteer Minister program now comprising the world's largest independent disaster relief force. In full, the Center's multimedia displays contain more than 500 films, available at the touch of a button. The Center is open morning to night and visitors are welcome to return as often as they wish.
The Church's Chapel provides for Scientology congregational gatherings, including Sunday Services, Weddings and Naming Ceremonies—as well as a host of community-wide events open to members of all faiths. The new Church further includes multiple seminar rooms and classrooms, in addition to dozens of rooms for Scientology auditing (spiritual counseling).
The opening of the Phoenix Church marks the sixth new Ideal Organization (Org) to open its doors in 2012, including the Church of Scientology Denver, June 16; Church of Scientology Orange County, June 2; Church of Scientology Greater Cincinnati, February 25; Church of Scientology Sacramento, January 28; and Church of Scientology Hamburg, Germany, January 21.
Ideal Orgs realize the fulfillment of Founder L. Ron Hubbard's vision for the religion. They not only provide the ideal facilities to service Scientologists on their ascent to greater states of spiritual awareness and freedom, each is also designed to serve as a home for the entire community and a meeting ground of cooperative effort to uplift citizens of all denominations.
Other Ideal Orgs opened in recent years include Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota; New York, New York; Washington, D.C.; Tampa, Florida; Nashville, Tennessee; Seattle, Washington; Las Vegas, Nevada; Los Angeles, California; Pasadena, California; Inglewood, California; as well as Quebec City, Canada; Mexico City, Mexico; London, England; Melbourne, Australia; Brussels, Belgium; Madrid, Spain; Rome, Italy; and Berlin, Germany.
Seven new Ideal Orgs are further scheduled for grand opening in 2012.

The Scientology religion was founded by author and philosopher L. Ron Hubbard. The first Church of Scientology was formed in Los Angeles in 1954 and the religion has expanded to more than 10,000 Churches, Missions and affiliated groups, with millions of members in 167 countries.

Facebook likes Instagram - that's the top of our business news.
INSKEEP: And they did more than just click on the little thumbs up. Facebook is buying the photo application Instagram, and the price is higher than it has ever paid for an acquisition - $1 billion; this for a company with only around a dozen employees. As somebody joked yesterday, why didn't they just download it?
As NPR's Laura Sydell reports, some analysts say the purchase is a defensive move.
LAURA SYDELL, BYLINE: Instagram is a mobile app that lets you put filters on your photos to make them sepia toned or look like an old western, and share the pictures with friends.
Analyst Patrick Moorhead says the site was a creative breakthrough for mobile.
PATRICK MOORHEAD: It allowed people's artistic beauty, or artistic sense come out - or lack of artistic sense come out, in a way that nothing had done before.
SYDELL: Instagram drew 30 million users in less than two years. Great for Instagram, but Moorhead says Facebook saw a challenge. The popular social network has been the leading player in photo-sharing.
MOORHEAD: Facebook bought this as a defensive move to not lose a huge amount of customers off of Facebook.
SYDELL: In a blog post, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg promised to let Instagram remain independent. However, many Instagram customers were skeptical.
On Twitter, people were giving advice, like how to delete your Instagram account. And though $1 billion for a company with a dozen employees may sound like a hefty price, analyst Moorhead points out it's still only 1 percent of Facebook's valuation.

1. Auction Basics. This is a public auction sale conducted by California bonded auctioneers, Stephen Album Rare Coins Inc. (hereinafter referred to as "Auctioneer"). Bidding in this Auction constitutes
acceptance by you (the "Bidder") of all the Terms of Sale stated
herein. Bidders may include consignors who may bid and purchase
lots in the Auction consigned by the consignor or by other consignors
pursuant to their consignment agreement. The Auctioneer reserves
the right to include in any auction sale its own material. Bidder
acknowledges and agrees that the Auctioneer may not be required to
pay a Buyer's Premium, or other charges that other Bidders may be
required to pay and may have access to information concerning the
lots that is not otherwise available to the public. Any claimed conflict
of interest or claimed competitive advantage resulting there from is
expressly waived by all participants in the Auction. Lots may carry a
Reserve. A Reserve is a confidential price or bid below which the
Auctioneer will not sell an item or will re-purchase on behalf of the
Consignor or for Stephen Album Rare Coins Inc. The Buyer is the
Bidder who makes the highest bid accepted by the Auctioneer, and
includes the principal of any Bidder acting as an agent.
2. Descriptions and Grading. Grading of rare coins is subjective and
may differ among independent grading services and among
numismatists, even though grading has a material effect on the value
of the coins. Stephen Album Rare Coins Inc. is not responsible for the
grades assigned by independent grading services, and makes no
warranty or representation regarding such grades. Bidder further
acknowledges and agrees that grades assigned by Stephen Album
Rare Coins Inc. and lot descriptions are based solely upon an
examination of the coins and are intended to note any perceived
characteristics. Stephen Album Rare Coins Inc. does not warrant the
accuracy of such grading or descriptions. All photographs in this
catalog are of the actual items being sold but may not be the actual
size or to scale.
3. The Bidding Process. The Auctioneer shall have the right to open or
accept the bidding on any lot by placing a bid on behalf of the
Consignor or their agent, a Bidder by mail, telephone, internet or fax,
or any other participant in the Auction. Bids must be for an entire lot
and each lot constitutes a separate sale. No lot will be broken up
unless otherwise permitted by the Auctioneer. Lots will be sold in
their numbered sequence unless Auctioneer directs otherwise. All
material shall be sold in separate lots to the highest Bidder as
determined by the Auctioneer. Auctioneer shall have the right in his or
her sole and absolute discretion to accept or decline any bid,
challenge any bid or bidding increment, to reduce any mail bid
received, adjudicate all bidding disputes and to determine the
prevailing bid. The Auctioneer shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to rescind the acceptance of any bid and place the lot(s)
for Auction again. Auctioneer's decision on all bidding disputes shall
be binding and final. For the mail and internet Bidder's protection, no
"unlimited" or "buy" bids will be accepted. When identical bids are
received for a lot, preference is given to the first bid received as
determined by the Auctioneer. A mail bid will take precedence over
an identical floor bid; a Floor Bidder and Telephone Bidder must bid
higher than the highest mail bid to be awarded any lot. Bids will not
be accepted from persons under eighteen (18) years of age without a
parent's written consent which acknowledges the Terms of Sale
herein and agrees to be bound thereby on behalf of the underage
Bidder. The auction sale is complete when the Auctioneer so
announces it.
Bids may be placed by fax, mail, email, or by telephone. Online
bidding is also available on www.iCollector.com. Follow the link on our
website, www.stevealbum.com in order to bid online. Your bids will
be treated as a maximum bid. The winning bid will be one increment
above the next highest bidder, or at the starting bid.
Stephen Album Rare Coins Inc. is not responsible for any errors in
bidding. All Bidders should make certain to bid on the correct lot and
that the bid is the bid intended. Once the hammer has fallen and the
Auctioneer has announced the Buyer, the Buyer is unconditionally
bound to pay for the lot, even if the Buyer made a mistake. Stephen
Album Rare Coins Inc. reserves the right to withdraw any lot at any
time, even after the hammer has fallen, until the Buyer has taken
physical possession of the lot. No participant in the Auction shall have
a right to claim any damages, including consequential damages if a lot
is withdrawn, even if the withdrawal occurs after the Auction.
4. Buyer's Premiums and Payments. A Buyer's Premium of twenty percent (20.0%) will be added to the hammer price for each lot to all successful bids. Accepted payments are by Visa, MasterCard, American Express, PayPal, cash, cashier's check, money
order, approved personal check or bank wire transfer. If the purchaser pays by credit card (including credit-debit cards) or by
PayPal, an additional service fee of four percent (4.0%) will be added. This service fee will apply to the hammer price, buyer's premium, shipping, and sales tax. A reacquisition charge may apply to Consignors pursuant to a separate agreement, which
may be higher or lower than the Buyer's Premium. Payment is delinquent and in default if not received in full, in good funds, within fourteen (14) calendar days of the Auction (the "Default Date"), without exception, time
being of the essence, unless otherwise agreed in writing prior to the Auction. If a credit card is provided before the sale, Stephen Album Rare Coins reserves the right to charge your credit card for the total of your auction purchases if payment has not been rece
ived within the fourteen (14) calendar days deadline. All auction sales are payable strictly in immediately available good U.S. funds, through a bank in the United States. Personal checks must clear our bank
before lots are delivered.
Please contact Stephen Album Rare Coins Inc. for wiring instructions.
Please inform us after bank wire has been sent. Please be advised that
payments coming by wire transfer usually only take a few days to
arrive, but in rare cases they can take up to a few weeks to arrive due
to US government regulating, resulting in a delay of shipment of your
lots. Lots will not be shipped until your full payment has arrived in our
bank account. There is a $15 fee for all bank wire transfers.
Stephen Album Rare Coins Inc. reserves the right not to release lots
for which funds have not yet been received in full. On any past due
accounts, Stephen Album Rare Coins Inc. reserves the right, without
notice, to extend credit and impose carrying charges of 1% per month.
Buyers agree to pay reasonable attorney's fees and cost incurred to
collect past due accounts. Buyers personally and unconditionally
guarantee payment in full of all amounts owed to Stephen Album Rare
Coins Inc. Any person submitting bids on behalf of a corporation or
other entity, by making such bid, agrees to be personally liable for the
payment of the purchase price and any related charges and the
performance of all Buyer obligations under these Terms of Sale and
Stephen Album Rare Coins Inc. reserves the right to require a written
guarantee of such payments and obligations.
5. Credit. Bidders who have not established credit with Stephen
Album Rare Coins Inc. must furnish satisfactory credit references
and/or deposit at least twenty-five percent (25%) of their total bids
for that Auction session(s) or such other amount as Stephen Album
Rare Coins Inc. may, in its sole and absolute discretion, require before
any bids from such Bidder will be accepted. Deposits submitted will be
applied to purchases. Any remaining deposits will be promptly
refunded, upon clearance of funds.
6. Shipping and Insurance. It is the Buyer's responsibility to contact
Stephen Album Rare Coins Inc. after the sale to make shipping and
packaging arrangements. Due to the fragile nature of some lots,
Stephen Album Rare Coins Inc. may elect not to assume responsibility
for shipping or packing, or may charge additional shipping and
handling. All state taxes, postage, shipping, handling, insurance costs,
the Buyer's Premium, and any other fees required by law to be
charged or collected will be added to the invoice for any lots invoiced
to Buyer. Title and risk of loss pass to the Buyer at the destination
upon tender of delivery. Acceptance of delivery constitutes
acceptance of the purchased lots. Inspection of the purchased lots is
not required for acceptance. Any and all claims based upon Buyer's
failure to receive a purchased lot, Buyer's receipt of a lot in damaged
condition, or otherwise related to delivery, must be received in
writing by Stephen Album Rare Coins Inc. no later than thirty (30)
days after payment. The failure to make a timely claim, time being of
the essence, shall constitute a waiver of any such claim.
Delivery outside the USA will be by USPS registered mail or by FedEx
and will include insurance on all shipments up to $20,000. Buyers will
be billed additional insurance charges on a shipment or combined
shipments valued at above $20,000 Any claims of loss or damage will
only be paid by Stephen Album Rare Coins Inc. only after the insurers'
investigation is complete. If the Buyer opts for another form of
shipment other than the above, items will be shipped at their risk and
they will assume all risk due to theft, damage or loss. A Buyer opt out
of the Stephen Album Rare Coins Inc. standard shipping listed above
must be in received in writing before shipment will be made.
Stephen Album Rare Coins Inc. cannot accept any responsibility
whatsoever for customs duties charged by the country of destination
or seizure of items by customs, domestic or foreign.
Buyers will be charged all applicable sales tax, including Buyers who
pick up at this Auction or shipments to Buyers in California without a
valid Resale Certificate which has been provided to the Auctioneer.
Please note that the purchase of any coin or bullion lot(s) with a price,
including the Buyer's Premium, in excess of One Thousand Five
Hundred Dollars ($1,500) are exempt from California sales tax. On any
tax not paid by Buyer that should have been paid, even if not collected
by Stephen Album Rare Coins Inc. by mistake, error, negligence or
gross negligence, Buyer remains liable for and agrees to promptly pay
the same on demand together with any interest or penalty that may
be assessed.
6. Financial Responsibility. In the event any applicable conditions of
these Terms of Sale herein are not complied with by a Buyer or if the
Buyer fails to make payment in full by the Default Date, Stephen
Album Rare Coins Inc. reserves the right, in its sole discretion, in
addition to all other remedies which it may have at law or in equity,
to: (a) rescind the sale of that lot or any other lot or lots sold to the
defaulting Buyer, retaining all payments made by Buyer as liquidated
damages, it being recognized that actual damages may be speculative
or difficult to compute, or (b) resell a portion or all of the lots held by
Stephen Album Rare Coins Inc., in a commercially reasonable manner,
which may include a public or private sale, in a quantity sufficient in
the opinion of Stephen Album Rare Coins Inc. to satisfy the
indebtedness, plus all accrued charges, and Stephen Album Rare Coins
Inc. may charge a seller's commission that is commercially reasonable.
More than one such sale may take place at the option of Stephen
Album Rare Coins Inc. If the Auctioneer resells the lots, Buyer agrees
to pay for the reasonable cost of such sale, together with any
incidental costs of sale, including reasonable attorney's fees and costs,
cataloguing and any other reasonable charges. Notice of the sale shall
be by U.S.P.S. Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested to the address
utilized on the Bid Sheet, Auction Consignment and Security
Agreement or other last known address by Stephen Album Rare Coins

damages occasioned by Buyer's breach, then to any other
indebtedness owed to Stephen Album Rare Coins Inc., including
without limitation, commissions, handling charges, carrying charges,
the expenses of both sales, reasonable attorneys' fees, costs,

incurred. Buyer shall also be liable to Stephen Album Rare Coins Inc.

consignment, or purchases that are in the possession or control of the
Auctioneer or from any sums due to Buyer by Stephen Album Rare

its assignees, a security interest in: (x) the purchased lots and their
proceeds, and (y) such sums or other items and their proceeds, in the
possession of Stephen Album Rare Coins Inc., its affiliates or
assignees, to secure all indebtedness due to Stephen Album Rare
Coins Inc., plus all accrued expenses, carrying charges, attorney fees,

Album Rare Coins Inc. the right to file a UCC-1 financing statement for
such items, and to assign such interest to any affiliated or related
company or any third party deemed appropriate by Stephen Album
Rare Coins Inc. If the auction invoice is not paid for in full by the
Default Date, a carrying charge of one percent (1%) per month may be
imposed on the unpaid amount until it is paid in full. In the event this
interest rate exceeds the interest permitted by law, the same shall be
adjusted to the maximum rate permitted by law, and any amount paid
in excess thereof shall be allocated to principal. Buyer agrees to pay all
reasonable attorney's fees, court costs and other collection costs
incurred by Stephen Album Rare Coins Inc. or any affiliated or related
company to collect past due invoices or to interpret or enforce the
terms hereof or in any action or proceeding arising out of or related to
the Auction. Stephen Album Rare Coins Inc. reserves the right to
assign its interest to any third party. To the extent that the Buyer for

or entity is jointly and severally liable for all obligations of the Buyer,

Toshiba MK4036GAC hard drive
Toshiba MK4036GAC hard drive not working?
Outsource is experienced with Toshiba MK4036GAC hard drive data recovery and repairs. We will get your data back so you can get on with your life.
Experience with MK4036GAC Data Recovery
Toshiba 's MK4036GAC is a desktop (2.5") hard disk drive with a storage capacity of 40GB and featuring a IDE interface. There are multiple PCB revisions for this hard drive, so if you will need to match a replacement PCB, it is important that you note the revision number of your current circuit board in addition to the hard drive's model number.
Outsource Knows Toshiba
Outsource has successfully repaired or performed data recovery on thousands of Toshiba hard drives, including model MK4036GAC . We are also partners with Donor Drives, the largest provider of Toshiba donor hard drives and PCBs, so we have immediate access to almost any part or donor drive imaginable in order to complete your project quickly.
Success Rate
Outsource is able to successfully repair or recover nearly nine out of ten projects we receive, including the common failures of MK4036GAC drives you see below. This rate is among the best in the industry, and we offer a True No-Data, No-Charge Guarantee for your MK4036GAC data recovery: If we cannot recover your data, you will not pay any service fee!
PCB Issues
Failed PCB or Firmware Issues
Toshiba MK4036GAC hard drive failure can result from many causes. Check out our video on identifying common hard drive failures. One of the most common causes of failure for Toshiba drives is a burnt circuit board, or PCB. This can be caused by a power surge or other sudden electrical impact. If your drive does not spin up, or if you smell smoke coming from the hard drive, these can be signs of a burnt circuit board, which should be repaired as soon as possible.
Replacing a Failed PCB
If this is the issue, you can try to repair your drive by replacing the PCB. Make sure to use this donor matching guide for data recovery to increase the chances of compatibility. For instance, you should use a replacement PCB from the same model ( MK4036GAC ) and PCB revision. Also, check out the video to the right for some tips on trying to replace the circuit board. Don't want to attempt this yourself? Outsource offers a $60 hard drive Repair Service, which includes PCB replacement or repair with parts and labor!
Other Common Problems with MK4036GAC Drives
Clicking Drive
If your drive is clicking, power it down immediately! This could be a sign of a mechanical issue, such as a head crash.
Bad Sectors
Bad sectors generally signify surface damage, degrading magnetic head reading capabilities, or the end of life of the hard drive.
EPROM or NV-RAM becomes corrupt and locks out data access. The data will need to be manually adjusted and reprogrammed to the PCB.
Corruption of system area translator modules results in loss of data access and requires a "hot swap".
Frequency of Failures
41% $60 Repair Service: includes electrical failures, such as failed PCBs, Brick errors, translator corruption, or basic firmware issues. Cost: $60*
36% Cleanroom recovery: includes recovering data from drives with head crashes, preamplifier failures, or other mechanical issues requiring a cleanroom. Avg. cost: $787*
10% Degraded surface: another type of mechanical failure, also known as bad sectors, which usually does not require a cleanroom. Avg. cost: $545*

Alphabetical First Name Meaning Index
Arun - Detailed Meaning
As Arun, you take life and your responsibilities seriously. You are practical and intellectual, with interests in science, technology, mechanics, and various mathematical aspects of life. You seek understanding through intellect using facts and scientific logic. Not greatly ambitious, you do not want to be responsible for the work of others, although you are very steadfast and trustworthy in your own work. You could find satisfaction in a role of service. Settled conditions in your home and business life mean a great deal to you. Not having strong desires to travel and to make changes, you would be content and happy when life around you is secure. Your religious affiliations are based upon family tradition and custom, rather than your personal convictions. You are a perfectionist, extremely exacting about the care of your possessions and the way you handle your obligations. Being conscientious, you work hard at activities but, if they become too monotonous, you lose interest, and as a result, some tasks remain unfinished. You tend to specialize, finding outlets in practical creativity, for example, cooking, crafting, or computer work. If you pursue musical or the artistic expression, you would be drawn to the technical aspects and strive for perfection. Being matter-of-fact, you frequently create misunderstandings with others by being too blunt and unaware of their sensitive feelings. As you expect a great deal of yourself and others, you can become discontent and disillusioned when you do not live up to your own expectations, or when others let you down. This intensity in your nature causes you to be too critical and complaining at times. Moods or temper can be a problem, for you are not a naturally optimistic, happy-go-lucky person. Because of your down-to-earth nature, you are not idealistic or romantic. You show your devotion for your family and friends by the things you do for them, but you must guard against becoming too protective and possessive of those who mean the most to you. In some ways you are too exacting and appear insensitive and, in other ways, you are too indulgent and accommodating when it comes to your family and friends. Sometimes people do not know how to take you because of your unpredictable reactions. Through stress and tension, you could suffer with problems in your digestive system or in your nervous system.
Health Analysis
Your date of birth defines your unique core purpose, the reason for your life. In living your purpose, you will find your greatest happiness, contentment, and success.
Whether your purpose fully expresses depends upon all the names you use, because your names create the basic blueprint of your thinking pattern and reveal your destiny.

Once a Workplace account has been provisioned for a member of your community, you'll need to invite them to claim their account so they can start using Workplace. On the other hand, when employees leave an organization, it's crucial that they no longer have access to the contents on Workplace.
This guide describes the controls administrators have to manage the lifecycle of user accounts in Workplace.
- Provision: To create a user account within your Workplace.
Read more in the Account Management section. - Invite: To allow a provisioned user to claim their account.
Read more in the About the Invite process section. - Claim: A process in which an invited user activates their Workplace account.
Read more in the About the Claim process section. - Deactivation: A process in which access to a Workplace account is revoked.
Read more in the About the Deactivation process section.
Inviting Versus Provisioning
By having a separate status for invited and uninvited members, we allow Workplace administrators to provision members in advance and invite them when ready. Workplace administrators can set up a community by creating groups and adding members to them. Administrators can then invite people to join. That way, users are already members of their relevant groups when they're invited in to their Workplace instance.

Jennifer L. Armentrout's amazing novella in her new The Dark Elements Series, BITTER SWEET LOVE, is out and we are excited to join in the release day launch for it. BITTER SWEET LOVE is the Prequel Novella for The Dark Elements Series and is full of Wardens, fantasy, and romance. The first novel in the series, WHITE HOT KISS, will be released February 25, 2014. Check out what we have for you today! There's also a fantastic excerpt for you to check out below!
Moving lightning fast, Dez shifted and I was suddenly
underneath him. His arms were on either side of my head, caging me in. Our
bodies didn't touch, but I felt him to the tips of my toes anyway.
The teasing grin disappeared when I dragged in a deep breath and my chest
brushed his. Everything changed in an instant. The playful mood faded, replaced
by primal heaviness. Our gazes collided and locked. Neither of us moved. His
closeness sent a series of shivers skittering across my skin and made it hard
to take slow, even breaths. My body tensed when his gaze dropped to my mouth.
He tilted his head to the side. "I… I honestly have no idea what we were
talking about."
"Good. Neither do I."
He shifted his weight onto one arm, bring him closer. "Have you enjoyed your
trip so far?"
"Yes." I felt as if I couldn't get enough air into my lungs.
"Good." He lowered his head. His breath was minty as it moved across my cheek
and then my lips. "I'm glad."
I wasn't really following the conversation and I wasn't sure that he was fully
aware of what was coming out of his mouth. I searched my hazy brain for
something to say and wet my lips. I-
The sound that came out of Dez's chest rumbled through me. A stuttered heartbeat
passed and then his lips were on mine. There was nothing slow about this kiss.
It scorched my skin and caused my body to stretch tight like a bowstring. The
kiss deepened, spinning my senses. I shuddered when his hand curved over my
shoulder and drifted down to my waist, his long fingers spreading out under the
hem of my shirt, grazing the bare skin of my stomach.
I gasped, floored by the raw sensations pounding through my blood. My skin felt
as if I was about to phase. Maybe I was.
"Jasmine," he whispered, the word falling against my lips, and then his body
was pressing mine into the mattress, heavy, sweet and hard.
In a
sizzling prequel novella to her new series The Dark Elements, #1 New York
Times bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout draws readers into the
extraordinary, irresistible world of Wardens and demons.
Dez wasn't
just Jasmine's crush. A gargoyle Warden like Jas, he helped her come to terms
with her destiny—fending off demons and maintaining the balance between good
and evil. He was her everything…right until the moment he disappeared without a
trace. It didn't help that Jas's father had just announced that she and Dez
would one day be mated. Hard not to take that personally.
And now he's
back, three years older, ten times hotter, ready to pick up exactly where they
left off. But Jas isn't taking that risk again. Dez has seven days to meet all
her conditions and earn back her trust. Seven days filled with terrifying
danger and sweet temptation. Seven days to win her heart—or shatter it all over
