Category : Reference
Languages : en
Pages : 219
Book Description
A charming, gorgeously illustrated botanical encyclopedia for your favorite romantic, local witch, bride-to-be, or green-thumbed friend. Floriography is a full-color guide to the historical uses and secret meanings behind an impressive array of flowers and herbs. The book explores the coded significances associated with various blooms, from flowers for a lover to flowers for an enemy. The language of flowers was historically used as a means of secret communication. It soared in popularity during the 19th century, especially in Victorian England and the U.S., when proper etiquette discouraged open displays of emotion. Mysterious and playful, the language of flowers has roots in everything from the characteristics of the plant to its presence in folklore and history. Researched and illustrated by popular artist Jessica Roux, this book makes a stunning display piece, conversation-starter, or thoughtful gift.

Category : Fiction

Pages : 676
Book Description
Welcome to Blossom Ridge, a spinoff to the Surrender series. This resort outside Seattle, Washington, awaits guests who practice a similar lifestyle. It’s a safe place to be yourself…or who you wish to be. Feeling Brave: Juliet For three years I’ve been relying on Aldric. After my parents died, he swooped in to take care of me. It’s not fair to him. I know I’m holding him back. I’m a ballerina, but only in private. I’m also Little…but only in private. My fantasy of Aldric being the Daddy I crave is just that, a fantasy. What if I admit what I really want and I lose him? Aldric With our age difference, I know we have an unconventional relationship. There’s no place I’d rather be than with Juliet. She’s my Little, even if she doesn’t realize it. We live together. I take care of everything for her while she grieves. If this is all I ever get with Juliet, I will take it. She’s mine even though I’ve never told her. I could take a risk and ask for more, but what if I lose her? Embracing Joy: Giana I’m a well-known masochist. I’ve been a member of Surrender for two years. Someone unknown sponsors me. I can barely make ends meet, and I’ve just lost yet another job. When Kendric discovers me living in my car, he takes me home. It’s a horrible idea. I can’t stay with him. He’s a Daddy. I need a sadist in my life. But I’m falling for him, and I don’t have any other place to stay. Kendric I’ve been secretly sponsoring Giana. She’s intriguing, but I’ve never approached her. She’s not Little. I’m not a sadist. At least that’s what I’ve believed for two years. When I find her living in her car, another side of Giana comes out. She submits to me as a Daddy Dom. She thrives, even when I take her to Blossom Ridge. Convincing her she’s my Little is a challenge, and I’m all in. Accepting Love: Hannah I’m deeply Little in my heart. But no one outside Surrender can ever know. In my real life, I have a reputation to uphold. I’m a well-known public persona. The vanilla world wouldn’t understand. When I’m alone, I can be myself. When I’m not, I’m what everyone expects me to be. Zane I’ve had my eye on Hannah for two years. When I’ve asked her out, she’s turned me down. I know she likes me. It’s obvious. I dominate her, but only inside the club walls. It’s against strict policy for me to pressure her. So I wait and watch and hope. And then fate drops me into her space, outside the club…
