On a Long Ago Night

He Vowed She Would Marry Him...
Years ago, Honoria Pyne was forced to make a devil's bargain with a mysterious rogue. Now one of the ton's greatest heiresses, her world is shattered when the devil comes to claim his prize. Though she longs to scorn James Marbury, her body remembers too well his searing touch, and the seductive whisper of his voice spurs memories of one passion-filled night-when captor became willing captive, and prisoner became glorious accomplice...when he was all she desired.

From Library Journal
Too tall, too big, too old, and endowed with an abundance of freckles and fiery red hair, Honoria knows it is only her title and fortune that are attracting her current suitors. But when James Marbury appears on the scene with marriage on his mind, he dredges up memories of a scandalous interlude and a wrenching betrayal that suddenly throw Honoria's well-ordered life into chaos. Unfortunately, the series of flashbacks are less than effective, occasionally proving more confusing than enlightening; nevertheless, the back story is fascinating and an integral part of the plot, and an appealing heroine and a determined hero do much to remedy this lapse. Filled with pirates, harems, and steamy sex, this fast-paced story is definitely on the exotic side and will appeal to readers who like their romances adventurous, a bit bawdy, and laced with humor. Sizemore (The Price of Innocence) also writes in other genres and is noted for some earlier well-received time-travel books.

Review
"A tantalizing read and seasoned with dry humor and just enough sizzle to make it enticing." -- The Oakland Press, MI

"Sweep you away romance." -- --Christina Dodd

"Wicked sensuality, laugh-out-loud humor, and just plain fun." -- --Christina Dodd, Someday My Prince

Whisky Galore

It's 1943, and the war has brought rationing to the Hebridean Islands of Great and Little Todday. When food is in short supply, it is bad enough, but when the whisky runs out, it looks like the end of the world. Morale is at rock bottom. George Campbell needs a wee dram to give him the courage to stand up to his mother and marry Catriona. The priest, the doctor, and, of course, the landlord at the inn are all having a very thin time of it. There's no conversation, no jollity, no fun—until a ship-wreck off the coast brings a piece of extraordinary good fortune.

Antennas for Ubiquitous Radio Services in a Wireless Information Society

Wireless applications are now an integral part of everyday life. On the one hand, these applications are being praised for making lives better by facilitating efficient communication and effectively treating disease. On the other hand, they are criticised for invading privacy and representing a potential health hazard. In any case, we are aware of them everywhere in sound, image and data carrying systems, but they are also intrinsic to weather and traffic monitoring systems and in defence and security technology. In recognition of the need for continuous and sustained effort in the field of antenna engineering, the WiSE project (Wide Band Sparse Element Array Antennas) was initiated in 2004 to assemble a catalogue of wide-band radiators and explore the functional possibilities of a shared aperture concept. This book is a collection of papers which offers a retrospective of the WiSE projects main achievements, whilst also assessing their relevance within a wider antenna engineering perspective. There is a constant demand from wireless systems to provide increased performance; higher channel transmission capacity for multimedia and the pattern shaping and beam agility required for high-end radar and space-borne telecommunications. Addressing innovative concepts and state-of-the-art aspects in array antenna design, manufacturing and measurement, this volume provides an overview of the increasingly complex functionalities demanded by evolving radio services.
