Book Description
Dreams of tranquility go careening into the unknown... The war is over, and I long to do nothing more than sit at my beloved Master's feet. Instead, I'm in charge of a camp full of POWs, trying to make their lives more tolerable than my own time behind the razor wire. And then 2 little blue lines on a plastic stick change everything. Pregnant? Ryan is desperate to keep me safe. He's putting me in a box, and the harder he pushes, the more I push back. Once, my whole world revolved around him. Now I rarely call him Sir. And then he pushes too far, and I use my safe word. Freedom _______________ HEA, Explicit sex, D/s, punishments. This is the final book of the Finding Home Series. Lots of sexy times, angst, danger, and definitely an HEA. Excerpt: “Come on, one more time!” Her eyes closed tight with effort, Liz pushed the first baby out and into the doctor’s waiting hands. The baby looked startled, as though she’d been sleeping peacefully until suddenly being thrust into the bright lights. “It’s a girl!” the doctor pronounced as she laid the slippery, squirming, suddenly-bawling baby on Liz’s chest. “What’s her name?” It took Ryan a moment to realize she’d asked a question. “Um, Mercy. After Liz’s mom.” The nurse was drying the baby off and doing an exam. “Liz,” she called softly. She opened her eyes. “I need to take her over to the other bed. She’s breathing a little fast.” Liz nodded. Ryan was torn between his daughter a dozen feet away, and his wife whose hand he held tight, and who had another baby to deliver. The decision was made for him when a contraction started. Liz screwed up her face and bore down. “C’mon, love, you can do it. Let’s get Hannah out here to meet her sister.” A handful of pushes later the other baby slipped out and she, too, looked peeved at her circumstances. Ryan felt the tension of the last two days slip out of him as his second daughter joined her cries with the first, and he let out a laugh at the expression on her face. “She looks just like you when you’re mad!” Liz didn’t respond; her eyes were closed with exhaustion, though her grip on Ryan’s hand was tight. A nurse moved the baby from Liz’s chest to a warmer where the team started drying her off. “Ryan,” she whispered, “go check on them. Please.” He squeezed her hand and left her side. Both babies were now pink and protesting. He looked from one to another—tiny little girls with heads full of dark blond hair, and so exactly like each other he wasn’t sure who was whom. He turned back to look at Liz, but something wasn't right. The nurse told the doctor that Liz’s blood pressure had jumped up, and as she spoke, Liz began shaking so hard the whole bed rattled. The doctor called out orders in a calm voice, and suddenly the room was filled with a buzz of activity. Ryan watched in disbelief as Liz continued to shake even as they turned her to her side and gave her oxygen, and stuck something into her IV line. No one paid attention to him as they worked quickly and efficiently. The seizure seemed to go on forever and ever, but finally it quieted. Liz was now surrounded by lines and machines and people who had appeared out of nowhere. There was the steady beeping of a heart monitor. Someone opened the door, someone else released the brakes on the bed, and in an instant, she was rolled out the door and was gone. And Ryan felt more alone than he ever thought possible. ___________________________ Keywords: alternate universe, other Realities, dark fantasy romance, Finding Home series, Sophie Kisker, consensual, pregnancy romance, unexpected pregnancy, Pregnancy Romance, unexpected baby, babies twins, Master and submissive, master/slave, dominance and submission, completed series

Book Description
The popular psychoanalyst examines the continuing tension in our lives between the possibilities that freedom offers and the various limitations imposed upon us by our particular fate or destiny. "May is an existential analyst who deservedly enjoys a reputation among both general and critical readers as an accessible and insightful social and psychological theorist. . . . Freedom's characteristics, fruits, and problems; destiny's reality; death; and therapy's place in the confrontation between freedom and destiny are examined. . . . Poets, social critics, artists, and other thinkers are invoked appropriately to support May's theory of freedom and destiny's interdependence."—Library Journal "Especially instructive, even stunning, is Dr. May's willingness to respect mystery. . . .There is, too, at work throughout the book a disciplined yet relaxed clinical mind, inclined to celebrate . . . what Flannery O'Connor called 'mystery and manners,' and to do so in a tactful, meditative manner."—Robert Coles, America

Book Description
One of the greatest spiritual teachers of the twentieth century shares his philosophy on self-discovery, free will, and the search for a place and purpose in life. “I myself am a question. I know not who I am. What to do? Where to go?”—Osho Destiny, Freedom, and the Soul: What Is the Meaning of Life? explores deeply human questions, such as: Is there really such a thing as “soul,” and if so, what is it? Where does the concept of karma fit in? Does my life have a special meaning or purpose? Osho challenges readers to examine and break free of the conditioned belief systems and prejudices that limit their capacity to enjoy life in all its richness. He has been described by the Sunday Times of London as one of the “1000 Makers of the 20th Century” and by Sunday Mid-Day (India) as one of the ten people—along with Gandhi, Nehru, and Buddha—who have changed the destiny of India. Since his death in 1990, the influence of his teachings continues to expand, reaching seekers of all ages in virtually every country of the world.

Book Description
We live in a world facing many crises, pandemics, climate and environmental challenges, human rights abuses, and threats of totalitarian regimes. Romano Guardini (1885–1968), a major influencer of Pope Benedict XVI and Pope Francis, worked through one of the most difficult periods of German history—the first half of the twentieth century. What does he have to say to these challenges, and how is his notion of providence relevant today? Jane Lee-Barker shows how Guardini’s insight and deep thought on God’s providence weave their way through his work, enabling the reader to fully appreciate “God’s world.” In relationship with God, the human person is invited to participate in responsible care for the world while responding to their own vocational call from the God who sustains him or her.
