About The Book "Falling in love" usually is the exclusive behavior of youthful adventurers dedicated to the purpose of finding "Miss or Mr. Right" and not the behavior of middle-aged, confirmed personalities who have "been there, and done that." Liz Brady and Harry Bergman are single, attractive and independent personalities---definitely established in their life styles. And-they've both "been there, and done that." By chance, they meet in Bermuda while on vacation, and unpredictably, their libidos ignite like uncontrollable wildfires. Harry is ecstatic to regain his faltering manhood and Liz is blithely enjoying a "fling." Ensconced in a vacation paradise and liberated from their secure lives in New York, they feel free to indulge in a passionate and lustful intimacy. Will the lust that connects Liz and Harry bind them in a meaningful relationship when they return to New York and resume their diverse life styles? Can Harry love and commit to one woman? Can Liz love another man as she loved her husband? Empathize with them as they argue, brawl and struggle to relinquish their egos and overcome the challenges of their self-satisfied lives in the hope of realizing a happily-ever-after life together.

Before Pornography explores the relationship between erotic writing, masculinity, and national identity in Renaissance England. Dealing with printed and manuscript texts, drawing on feminist theory and queer studies, it argues that pornography is a historical phenomenon, and although representation of sexual activity may exist in all cultures, pornography does not. It addresses the social significance of eroticism in such canonical texts as Sidney's Defense of Poesy and Spenser's Faerie Queene.

Suddenly she had a stone face. She looked directly in his eyes. "Wait a minute I need to make a call." Rachel walked towards the phone. She dialed and waited patiently. "C.E.A. Casey speaking, who's calling?" Machiavelli responded, it's Rachel from New York. She continued, "I must assign the Presidential case to Officer Jack Diamond Shuster. He will review all the records, and videos. I'm concerned that if I take the case that it could very well be viewed as a conflict of interest. I know that Jack can handle this one." She smiled and flirted as she looked into Jack's loving eyes. Rachel appeared to drift away from Jack, as if in deep thought. She placed the phone down. Then sat in her black leather comfortable chair behind her desk. Schuster turned as white as a ghost. He took a deep breath as he lit his cherry cigar. Machiavelli did the same. Together they shared a cloud of smoke.

From the Booker Prize-nominated author of The Water Cure comes a chilling new feminist fable based on the true story of an unsolved mystery... A Good Housekeeping recommended read for 2023 'Sensual, luminous, transcendent. It confirms Mackintosh as one of our finest young writers' The Bookseller 'A thrilling and subversive fable' i-D If you eat the bread, you'll die, he said. The statement made no sense, but it filled me with an electric dread. Elodie is the baker's wife. A plain, unremarkable woman, ignored by her husband and underestimated by her neighbours, she burns with the secret desire to be extraordinary. One day a charismatic new couple appear in town - the ambassador and his sharp-toothed wife, Violet - and Elodie quickly falls under their spell. All summer long she stalks them through the shining streets: inviting herself into their home, eavesdropping on their coded conversations, longing to be part of their world. Meanwhile, beneath the tranquil surface of daily life, strange things are happening. Six horses are found dead in a sun-drenched field, laid out neatly on the ground like an offering. Widows see their lost husbands walking up the moonlit river, coming back to claim them. A teenage boy throws himself into the bonfire at the midsummer feast. A dark intoxication is spreading through the town, and when Elodie finally understands her role in it, it will be too late to stop. Audacious and mesmerising, Cursed Bread is a fevered confession, an entry into memory's hall of mirrors, a fable of obsession and transformation. Sophie Mackintosh spins a darkly gleaming tale of a town gripped by hysteria, envy like poison in the blood, and desire that burns and consumes. Praise for Sophie Mackintosh: 'Be sure to read everything Sophie Mackintosh writes' Deborah Levy on Blue Ticket 'An extraordinary debut - otherworldly, luminous, precise' Guardian on The Water Cure 'Dreamlike, tense, compelling, with a pitch-perfect ending' The New York Times on Blue Ticket 'An unsettling dark fantasy... It lingers long after the final page' Daily Telegraph on The Water Cure 'Blue Ticket will worm its way under your skin and haunt your dreams' Red

Welcome to the secret world of Walter, a diary of one man's obsession with the opposite sex. A champagne-drinking Victorian traveler, Walter is lascivious, obnoxious, and possessed of an insatiable sexual appetite. Through a bawdy catalog of indecent scenarios with maids, widows, and wenches, he solicits an indulgent exploration of the flesh. His obsessions, fantasies, and voyeuristic tendencies are explored and revealed within this diary--one of the most famous examples of Victorian erotic literature from the decadent era. Only six copies were initially printed in 1888. Attempts to republish the book resulted in the novel being repeatedly banned. This is a dark work of Victorian erotica, and an explicit memoir of unspoken desires in the English class system--encapsulating the joy of hidden sins in an age of moral fervor.
