For the first time, Lizbeth?s five book Alexandra Series is being offered in one volume.

Once trained by this compelling dominant, she breaks a promise to herself never to surrender to him again. She returns for a rousing and creative chastisement, that not only pays her debt to her lover, but reminds her of the sexual thrill of submission. In My Darling Jocelyn, Lizbeth introduces a sassy and seductive woman, capable of matching wits with the consummate bachelor, Reggie. Is it possible to melt the ice that surrounds his loveless heart? Perhaps, but only if she's ready to submit to his uncompromising demands and realize her own fondest dreams for sexual surrender. A tale of girls gone wild?a little too wild! Jocelyn & Alexandra, feeling ignored by their Dom lovers, take off on a vacation together that's only bound to get them into trouble. But when they return, the two discover that keeping their naughty secrets from Reggie and Will is more difficult than they expected. It won?t be long before these two are getting their just desserts, exactly what they deserve. In the finale of the series, Jocelyn's Rebellion, it looks is as if the Dom/sub ?match made in heaven? is doomed, when a stressed out Jocelyn's high-profile consulting business takes a sudden nose dive, and the sassy redhead foolishly runs off with a scoundrel lover. Only her dear friend, the irrepressible Alexandra, holds out any hope that Reg and Jocelyn can get back together. She's hell-bent on making it happen, but at the same time must fight to hang on to her beloved Will after a lusty infidelity almost dooms her rocky relationship.

Book Description
Set in the near future, this action-packed YA novel—already optioned by Sony Pictures—will take readers out of this world and on a quest to become one of six teens sent on a mission to Jupiter’s moon. This is the next must-read for fans of Illuminae and The Martian. When Leo and Naomi are drafted, along with twenty-two of the world’s brightest teenagers, into the International Space Training Camp, their lives are forever changed. Overnight, they become global celebrities in contention for one of the six slots to travel to Europa—Jupiter’s moon—and establish a new colony, leaving their planet forever. With Earth irreparably damaged, the future of the human race rests on their shoulders. For Leo, an Italian championship swimmer, this kind of purpose is a reason to go on after losing his family. But Naomi, an Iranian-American science genius, is suspicious of the ISTC and the fact that a similar mission failed under mysterious circumstances, killing the astronauts onboard. She fears something equally sinister awaiting the Final Six beneath Europa’s surface. In this cutthroat atmosphere, surrounded by strangers from around the world, Naomi finds an unexpected friend in Leo. As the training tests their limits, Naomi and Leo’s relationship deepens with each life-altering experience they encounter. But it’s only when the finalists become fewer and their destinies grow nearer that the two can fathom the full weight of everything at stake: the world, the stars, and their lives.

Book Description
“Alexandra’s story is heartbreaking” and this New York Times–bestselling author “excels in the details” in this biography of the last Russian Empress (Chicago Tribune). Taking advantage of material unavailable until the fall of the Soviet Union, Erickson portrays Alexandra’s story as a closely observed, enthrallingly documented, progressive psychological retreat from reality. The lives of the Romanovs were full of color and drama, but the personal life of Alexandra has remained enigmatic. Under Erickson’s masterful scrutiny the full dimensions of the Empresses’ singular psychology are revealed: her childhood bereavement, her long struggle to attain her romantic goal of marriage to Nicholas, the anguish of her pathological shyness, her struggles with her in-laws, her false pregnancy, her increasing eccentricities and loss of self as she became more preoccupied with matters of faith, and her increasing dependence on a series of occult mentors, the most notorious of whom was Rasputin. With meticulous care, long practiced skill, and generous imagination, Erickson crafts a character who lives and breathes. “Entertaining. . . . One of the book’s strengths is its emphasis on the private life of the court.” —Publishers Weekly “Carrolly Erickson is one of the most accomplished and successful historical biographers writing in English.” —London Times Literary Supplement
