With her wedding date set and her fiancé eager to rehearse their wedding night, Shauna Tamson is on a search and destroy mission. All she's ever wanted is to be a wife and mother. All she’s got is a scorching-hot gift that leaves potential lovers a little on the crispy side. And then there's that rapidly depleting reproductive issue. She's desperate for a cure, and there's only one man who can fix her. But facing that stone wall of sex appeal would give a whole new meaning to explosive chemistry. Cursed for an ancestor's mistake, magical Apothecary, Adrian Sands has been living a solitary life to avoid extending the curse to another generation. Well, there was that one temptation. But he'd ended up saving his mall-frolicking princess from date rape by casting a potion that left her with a chemical chastity belt. Turns out, it was a blessing in disguise. It deterred her most dangerous predator. Him. Now his hottest infatuation is back, more alluring than ever, and demanding a cure that could damn them both. Either way, Shauna’s biological clock isn’t the only thing set to go off.

Ananna of the Tanarau abandons ship when her parents try to marry her off to an allying pirate clan: she wants to captain her own boat, not serve as second-in-command to her handsome yet clueless fiance. But her escape has dire consequences when she learns the scorned clan has sent an assassin after her. And when the assassin, Naji, finally catches up with her, things get even worse. Ananna inadvertently triggers a nasty curse — with a life-altering result. Now Ananna and Naji are forced to become uneasy allies as they work together to break the curse and return their lives back to normal. Or at least as normal as the lives of a pirate and an assassin can be. From the Trade Paperback edition.

This is John O'Loughlin's first and, to-date, only attempt at writing a dictionary, in which the terminology follows alphabetically in chronological spelling order, and, needless to say, it's in conjunction with the ideological philosophy of Social Transcendentalism that such a project was initially launched, with, it would appear, an acceptable degree of structural and thematic credibility to warrant such a seemingly portentous title - one, however, that must rank amongst the author's best philosophical works for its exacting comprehensiveness and daring originality. The cover shows an upended CND-type emblem with masculine and feminine signs, as though to signify a 'supercross' appropriate, for the author, to Social Transcendentalism, and therefore conceived as the logical successor to the so-called 'true cross' of Roman Catholicism.
