Book Description
Dear Reader, Long before I wrote my sexy paranormal romances, I wrote traditional Regency romances as Debbie Raleigh. I’m delighted that three of my favorites are now available once more. Here is a trilogy about love, marriage, and the best laid plans . . . After forty years of devoted service, Vicar Humbly is eager to retire to his pleasant cottage and tend to his garden. But before he can live in peace, he must salve his conscience by traveling to the homes of three couples who marriages have troubled him. Though he is a man of the cloth, Vicar Humbly knows that desire sometimes needs a little help from unexpected places . . . and that he may have to be less the Vicar, and more Cupid’s emissary . . . A PROPER MARRIAGE When free-spirited Adele Morrow finds herself living a dull existence as wife to a noted scholar, she secretly longs to be carried off by a dashing rogue who will drive her wild with desire. And her husband secretly misses the uninhibited beauty he’d proudly tamed. It seems that every proper marriage deserves a bit of impropriety . . . A CONVENIENT MARRIAGE Shy, awkward heiress Beatrice Chaswell is astonished when devastatingly handsome Gabriel Baxtor asks her to be his bride—until she discovers he married her for her money. That may be true, but Gabriel has discovered that his convenient wife is the woman of dreams. Now he must woo her all over again . . . A SCANDALOUS MARRIAGE Ravishing Victoria Mallory was lucky to find the perfect, gentlemanly fiancé—until a mix-up leaves her locked in a delicious midnight embrace—with another man. Now to avoid scandal she must wed a seductive rogue—one who is equally furious to find himself shackled. But when an intruder breaches their estate they must unite to avert peril—and discover a priceless love . . . I’ve fallen in love with these timeless books all over again, and believe that you will too.

Book Description
Ryan and Selena Frederick were newlyweds when they landed in Switzerland to pursue Selena's dream of training horses. Neither of them knew at the time that Ryan was living out a death sentence brought on by a worsening genetic heart defect. Soon it became clear he needed major surgery that could either save his life--or result in his death on the operating table. The young couple prepared for the worst. When Ryan survived, they both realized that they still had a future together. But the near loss changed the way they saw all that would lie ahead. They would live and love fiercely, fighting for each other and for a Christ-centered marriage, every step of the way. Fierce Marriage is their story, but more than that, it is a call for married couples to put God first in their relationship, to measure everything they do and say to each other against what Christ did for them, and to see marriage not just as a relationship they should try to keep healthy but also as one worth fighting for in every situation. With the gospel as their foundation, Ryan and Selena offer hope and practical help for common struggles in marriage, including communication problems, sexual frustration, financial stress, family tension, screen-time disconnection, and unrealistic expectations.

Book Description
Unbridled: Lesbian Romance Collection is a bundle of 3 sensual F/F lesbian romance books from lesbian romance authors Celeste Fox, Colleen Cooper, and Donata Love. If you’re searching for lesbian love stories that are heartwarming and passionate, sensitive and quaking, and that have happy endings, then this lesbian romance box set is for you. Contained in this bundle are the following three books: Crave: This Lesbian Love, Rebound, and Taste of Her. * Crave: This Lesbian Love The marriage failed. Maybe we never really loved each other. Maybe it wasn’t meant to be. He went his way, I went mine. Now, the children have left, and I find myself feeling lonely. I find myself thinking to somebody I was once involved with… A woman. She was gorgeous, sexy as sin. We laughed together, kissed, made love day and night. But… time moves on. So did we. Now, though… I find myself wanting to meet her again. Wondering how she is. Wondering if time has been kinder to her than it has to me. It’s silly, to dote on the possibility… the ‘what if’. But what if we could rekindle that old flame again? What if this could be a second chance? Not just lust… not just fun. A second chance at love? I’m going to take that chance. I need to take that chance. * Rebound Kate thought she had it all — a successful career, a gorgeous girlfriend, and a well-organized life… until she didn’t. Debs breaks up with her, and she wants nothing more than to crawl under the covers and stay there. But then Kate runs into Alex, and the woman simply steals her breath away. She’s got legs to die for, is sexy as sin… and Kate finds herself altogether forgetting about her now ex-girlfriend. One torrid night of steamy passion later, and Kate is left wondering if this new girl, Alex, is just a rebound, or if this is for real. The day gets brighter when she’s around Alex. Her heart beats faster when she catches Alex’s eyes. And heat rushes to her center when she touches Alex’s lips. Could it be that this is more than just a rebound fling? And will their relationship survive Deb’s returning into the fold and wreaking havoc? * Taste of Her After years of an unhappy marriage, stressed out Vicky Andrews was widowed before she could finalize the divorce. With too much happening all at once, she decides to go on a vacation with some friends, and friends of friends. It was supposed to be some time away from it all... to relax and reflect. To look upon her life, now, and figure out what she wanted. But what she never expected was to see the stunning, young Rachelle stumble through the door. The beautiful brunette stole Vicky's breath away, and she found herself immediately transfixed by the bubbly youth. Vicky had always known she could be attracted to women... but this, this was something else. Her attraction to Rachelle was so strong it left her a confused mess. What was happening to her? And why now? As she gets to know Rachelle better, Vicky comes to the startling realization that she might just be falling in love... *

Book Description
In the last decade or so, there has been a shift in the popular and academic discussion of our personal lives. Relationships – and not necessarily marriage – have gravitated to the center of our relational lives. Many of us feel entitled to seek intimacy, an emotionally depthful social bonding, rather than simply security or companionship from our relationships. Unlike in a marriage-centred culture, intimacy is today pursued in varied relationships, from familial to friends and to romances. And intimacies are being forged in multiple venues, from face-to-face to virtual, cyber contexts. A new scholarship has addressed this changing terrain of personal life – there is today a vast literature on cohabitation, parenthood without marriage, sex and love outside marriage, queer families, cyber intimacies and friendships. However, much theorizing and research has focussed either on the interior, subjective or sociocultural aspects of intimacies, not their interaction. This volume aims to break new ground: Intimacies explores the psychological terrain of intimacy in depthful ways without abandoning its sociohistorical context and the centrality of power dynamics. Drawing on a rich archive that includes the social sciences, feminism, queer studies, and psychoanalysis, the contributors examine: changing cultures of intimacy fluid and solid attachments and intimacies from hook ups, to sibling bonds, to erotic love a politics of intimacy that may involve state enforced hierarchies, class, misrecognition, social exclusion and violence embodied experiences of intimacy and dynamics of endings and loss a pluralization of intimacies that challenge established ethical hierarchies This volume aims to define the cutting edge of this emerging field of scholarship and politics. It challenges existing paradigms that assume rigid hierarchical approaches to relational life. Intimacies will be of interest for psychoanalysts and for students or scholars in sexualities, gender studies, family studies, feminism studies, queer studies, social class, cultural studies, and philosophy.
