The Soulmarked series Now and Then Robbie and Ivan wrought havoc on their first chance at love. Can they mend their fences and find their passion the second time around? Soulmarked as mates, Robbie and Ivan come from different worlds. Robbie's the oldest son in a long line of outlaws who live squarely on the wrong side of the tracks, and Ivan's family tree is packed with law enforcement. That didn't stop them from falling in love, but when they risked tearing each other apart, they cared enough to let go and hope they'd find a better life. Years later, the strength of their soulbond still burns bright when chance brings Robbie and Ivan together at the football game of the year. The passion they felt for one another is as powerful as ever, bringing them into explosive contact. They're not the boys they used to be—Robbie's turned his life around and raised his younger brothers to be good men, and Ivan's learned to stand tall and mix justice with compassion. But though they want to hope they can be happy now, not everything has changed. Maybe not enough has changed. Or has it, after all? It's up to Robbie and Ivan, now. Only they can make the choice that will change their lives forever. Only You Lovers and best friends, the unmarked Nick and Barrett risked everything to present themselves as a bonded pair. They thought they were safe, but things are changing... Nick and Barrett aren't soulmates. Lovers for years, they've rolled the dice and taken a gamble on presenting themselves as a bonded pair. They knew the risks, but think they're safe. They're well over the age when soulmarks usually appear, and none of their friends or family are any the wiser. Until now. After exposure to the incendiary reunion between his friend Ivan and Ivan's soulmate Robbie, Nick's soulmark has begun to emerge. And Barrett's hasn't. Faced with a devil's choice, Nick and Barrett are forced to confront the real possibility of being driven apart—unless they can fight the animal urge to find their mates. Do they have what it takes to stand in defiance of double jeopardy, all for the sake of love? Handle with Care Love conquers all—even a proud man's need to stand tough. No matter what it takes to heal his wounded soldier, Daniel is willing. Daniel keeps a secret close to his chest—he's long believed his soulmate-to-be, Jesse, was killed in action before they had a chance to fully bond. Jesse had asked Daniel to wait, to be patient, and to grow up a little before he fell in love. In return, Daniel promised to wait for Jesse and take care of him—always. Now, word's come that the report was in error. Jesse survived, and has returned home, but doesn't want to see or hear from Daniel. When Daniel tracks Jesse down, he finds a broken, wounded man who isn't glad to see him. While Jesse knew finding his soulmate would help him heal, he'd wanted to become strong enough to be worthy of Daniel before they reunited. Angry and ashamed, he's ready to run again. It's a hard row to hoe and a nut almost too tough to crack, but Daniel's come this far in search of his soulmate. He won't give up now—and he won't let Jesse give up either. As We Are Can the rebels with a cause change their ways, or will they miss their chance? Wild, rebellious, and rakish, Cade's been a bad boy since the day he was born. Don't get him wrong—he's as aware of his faults as he is his virtues, and he thinks he'd be better off without a mate of his own. He'd be a

Night Given the powers of an Incubus, could you resist the urge to take the one man you've always secretly wanted? Sex makes the world go round, right? Or so it seems to Cole Turner, a Seer who can See everyone's future except his own, when a gift from his Dreamwalking best friend Luke turns his world upside down. Overnight, Cole gains all the allure of an Incubus, drawing suitors to him like moths to a flame. But after a few days of revelling in the fun, reality takes a turn—the mysterious drug he took, known only as "Night", had to come from someone, and that someone is pissed, on a homicidal scale. Each sexual encounter makes Cole's attraction grow stronger, making it ever-more difficult to just walk outside. And Luke, the Seer's go-to in times of need, now wants him like everyone else, a point made even worse by the secret desires Cole has for the friend he had always assumed was straight. Swamped in sex, powerless to See if the future holds any hope for salvation, and at constant risk of losing both his best friend and his life, Cole is about to find out if he's strong enough to beat the Night racing through his system—and if his relationship with Luke is strong enough to survive it as well. Monster Scarred. Resentful. Alone... Six years away from Max may have changed Syler too much for him to risk rekindling their relationship. Syler Rike is a Fire Elemental and a Hunter—a member of the magical law enforcement. He's one of the best, forced to face off against the most brutal criminals in the world. Of course, he's also an asshole who couldn't care less about the rules, but Syler loves his job... Even though the years have taken their toll, and he's had to leave a lot behind. One of those things was Max York, his Were-Shifter ex-boyfriend. When Syler left him without a word six years earlier, he figured he'd never see the man again. But now, after yet another covert-breaching show of magic in front of humans while Hunting, Syler's been put on probation. He's banned from using any spell-work until a trial can determine if his powers will be taken away permanently. To make things worse, he's dumped in the town of Kelvin under the watchful eye of Will and his Vampire clan until he's given a verdict. When he runs into Max there for the first time in years, it's hardly the reunion either had expected. Time has changed each man more than the other could know. Forced together by their circumstances, secrets and pain come to a head. Meanwhile, something big is happening in Kelvin, something everyone is determined to keep Syler from finding out. His trial looms, his relationship with Max has never been worse, and he can't even use his magic. Has too much changed for them to get back what they had? Wonder To find out the truth and join with his Vampire mate, Blake may have to pay a steep price—his sanity. It's not that Blake Hollister doesn't want to be the mate of the town's resident hottie Vampire, Adam Harkin—just the opposite. With everything else in his life going to hell, that's the one thing that Blake wants more than anything. But fate has other ideas. Blake is Dormant, meaning his magical powers never manifested when he came of age, leaving him doomed to be forever connected with magic, but never able to access it. Sex between magical beings and non-magics is risky at first and becomes exponentially more dangerous, and Adam isn't willing to harm his mate, effectively pausing their relationship until some solution can be found. At the same time, darker things are manifesting in Kelvin. Secrets buried in the ruins of the town's old amusement park, Wonderworld, threaten to destroy the fragile peace

Authentikos Logos (NHC VI,3), also known as Authoritative Teaching,is a little studied story of a soul's descent and ascent in the Nag Hammadi library. With her book Ulla Tervahauta fills a gap in the scholarship and provide the first monograph-length study that has this writingas its primary focus. The aim is to find a place and context for Authentikos Logos within early Christianity, but Tervahauta also adds new insight into the scholarship of the Nag Hammadi Library and study of early Christianity. Contrary to the usual discussion of the Nag Hammadi writings from the viewpoint of Gnostic studies, she argues that Authentikos Logos is best approached from the context of Christian traditions of late ancient Egypt between the third and the fifth centuries.Tervahauta discusses the story of the soul's journey in light of various Christian and Platonic writings. Also, she analyses the relationship of Authentikos Logos with the Valentinian Wisdom myth and suggests that no firm evidence connects the writing closely with Valentinian traditions. And although a Platonic mind-set can be assumed, the writing combines motifs in a unique manner. For example, the four epithets used in the writing – the "invisible soul", the "pneumatic soul", the "material soul", and the "rational soul" – are not found thus combined elsewhere. Discussion of matter (hyle) is connected with Christian scriptural allusions and the focus is on ethics and the evilness of matter. The body, on the other hand, is the soul's place of contest and progress. The Pauline term "pneumatic body" (1 Cor 15:44) is used allusively and from a Platonic perspective. With this book Ulla Tervahauta makes an important contribution to the study of early Christianity in late ancient Egypt by discussing a writing thatshows knowledge and creative combination of literary traditions that circulated in late ancient Egypt.
