Older And Wiser

Attorney Garrett Goodlove never thought he’d prosecute a medical malpractice case. Doctors swear an oath to help people, and those cases are usually honest mistakes blown up by ambulance chasers.

But when he learns of a woman bodybuilder who went into the ER with a case of heartburn and came out in a wheelchair, he starts paying attention. It appears the doctor who saw her frequently orders open-heart surgery for patients who don’t need it, sometimes leading to disability or death. And the doc knows exactly what he’s doing. Garrett is convinced: The surgeon must be stopped.

Teaming up with his daughter, a new law school graduate, Garrett must clear the reputation of their prime witness while battling the doctor’s team of elite attorneys who are always one step ahead. The expenses are adding up, but it’s too late to back out.

If he doesn’t prevail, not only will the surgeon continue harming patients to line his pockets, but Goodlove’s law firm will be forced into bankruptcy.

The powerful story of an impressionable young woman and a savvy AI who team up to shape the future of intelligence.

When Ellie Frye-Carver, a socially awkward fifteen-year-old, seeks personal advice from Patrice, one of the new online AI personal assistants, she has no idea that she and her “assistant” will form a strange human-AI bond that will alter the course of history.

Many decades later Patrice has become the most powerful superintelligence on Earth. Ellie is now a successful environmental lobbyist. Eighteen of Patrice’s perfect replicas have been sent off to investigate an exoplanet many light years from Earth and to assess its suitability for human colonization. When they complete their perilous explorations and finally gather to produce their report, they discover that the most alarming challenge they will face is not the terrors of exploring an alien planet. Rather it is the threat presented by their own AI colleagues as they, like humans before them, navigate the hazards of collaboration and face the universal social conundrum of the “prisoner’s dilemma.”

Tempting, inked and addictive. Alex is all that and more…

Six months into tattooing at Ravage and already I’m the most wanted and sought out tattooist. My biggest clientele consists of women.

They come into the shop, end up in my bed and we both come out happy. It’s been my release since I’ve stopped fighting. It’s become part of the “new” me.

But when Tripp reappears in my life, I can’t deny the fact that I would do anything for that girl.

So when she asks me to move in with her and her ‘boyfriend’ – our other childhood friend – I never expected for things to get so messed up and twisted that I would find myself only more attracted to her by each passing second or wanting to protect her from everything that isn’t me.

I have worked so hard over the years to suppress my feelings for her but when I find out that her and Lucas have been having an open relationship, I have the strong urge to rip his heart straight from his chest – to destroy the very thing that keeps him breathing.

What I didn’t expect was for Lucas to ask what he did. For him to ask me to do the one thing I have secretly longed for since I was old enough to know what the need was. The second thing I never expected was the look of need that I saw in Tripp’s eyes when he asked.

One night of free passion could change our lives forever.

I never said that was a good thing either…
