Book Description
Books 16-21 in Betty McLain's 'Love's Magic' series of sweet and wholesome romance, now available in one volume! Love's Voice: Mariam Janice Semp was on the run - someone wanted her dead. The voice in her head had kept her alive; others weren’t so fortunate. Darrin, her older brother, was off serving in the army. She tried to reach him, but he was off base, so all she could do was leave a message. When Alex received the call from his brother, asking to help a friend find a missing sister, he happily agreed to help. As a private investigator, this was what he did. He had no idea how personal the case would become. But with dangers all around and powerful people conspiring to see Mariam dead, will his team and the help of a few guardian angels be enough to keep everyone safe? Love's Helper: She loved him from the time they were children, but Sandy never treated Minnie as anything other than an honorary little sister. Still, Minnie held out hope that one day they could be more. Then her guardian angel prompted her to seek help. With her brother missing there was only one place left to go. Sandy listened to the fearful plea for help and jumped into action, as he would for any friend in need, but the feelings he had for Minnie were not that of simple friends. Thrust together by fate, the love they each held in secret bubbled under the surface. But before they could be together, he had to find a way to keep her safe. Love's Tuna Salad: Stan worked for Avorn Security: a group protecting the innocent from many threats, including the witch hunters. He never expected to find the hunters stalking one of their own. Rissa watched Stan from the safety of her window, until the day he rescued her from those who would do her harm. With many young girls in the cross-hairs, Avorn’s team must work fast if they hope to dismantle the threat. But who is the Preacher, and how many has he influenced to do his dark work? Love's Vigilante: Avorn Security Building was an unusual place to work. Everyone who worked in the building went through a vetting process. You couldn’t be too careful, when most of the staff could hear the voice of their guardian angels. Even among the strange, Taylor and Becky stood out. Born in a hidden city and possessing unusual abilities, they were taught to hide their gifts and tread carefully. But Taylor couldn’t help herself. Disillusioned by the disappointment of one too many men, she reached down and drew on the powers inside. The powers of the Vigilante. Love's Dilemma: Selma grew up protected, hidden from the world. She was expected to live out her life in that place, but one look at the face of her true love, reflected back to her in her family’s magic mirror, and she knew her future was somewhere else. Sal was no stranger to unusual abilities. He shared the gift of hearing the guardian angels. So, when his angel told him Selma was his true love, he believed it, but she was still young. He didn’t want to rush her into a serious relationship before she was ready. They agreed to take things slow, but sometimes destiny has other plans. Love's Familiar Face: Boy meets girl, gets married, has children. That’s the plan. But real life can be a bit more complicated. Cory and Cole were twins, separated in infancy. But they had a bond that would not be broken. Determined to see his boys reunited, their father kept the connection alive and waited for the right time to act. Ellie and Ellen were sisters on divergent paths. Unaware of the other, they lived their lives, always feeling something was missing. Destined for lives different from the ones they knew, would fate find a way to bring them back together?

Book Description
Most of the women and men who practiced magic in Tudor England were not hanged or burned as witches, despite being active members of their communities. These everyday magicians responded to common human problems such as the vagaries of money, love, property, and influence, and they were essential to the smooth functioning of English society. This illuminating book tells their stories through the legal texts in which they are named and the magic books that record their practices. In legal terms, their magic fell into the category of sin or petty crime, the sort that appeared in the lower courts and most often in church courts. Despite their relatively lowly status, scripts for the sorts of magic they practiced were recorded in contemporary manuscripts. Juxtaposing and contextualizing the legal and magic manuscript records creates an unusually rich field to explore the social aspects of magic practice. Expertly constructed for both classroom use and independent study, this book presents in modern English the legal documents and magic texts relevant to ordinary forms of magic practiced in Tudor England. These are accompanied by scholarly introductions with original perspectives on the subjects. Topics covered include: the London cunning man Robert Allen; magic to identify thieves; love magic; magic for hunting, fishing and gambling, and magic for healing and protection.

Book Description
A comprehensive guide that defines the literature and the outlines the best-selling genre of all time: romance fiction. More than 2,000 romances are published annually, making it difficult for fans and the librarians who advise them to keep pace with new titles, emerging authors, and constant evolution of this dynamic genre. Fortunately, romance expert and librarian Kristin Ramsdell provides a definitive guide to this fiction genre that serves as an indispensible resource for those interested in it—including fans searching for reading material—as well as for library staff, scholars, and romance writers themselves. This title updates the last edition of Romance Fiction: A Guide to the Genre, published in 1999.While the emphasis is on newer titles, many of the important older classics are retained, keeping the focus of the book on the entire genre, instead of only those titles published during the last decade. Specific changes include new chapters on linked and continuing romances, a new section on "Chick Lit" in the Contemporary Romance chapter, an expansion of coverage on the alternative reality subset. This is THE romance genre guide to have.
