The pendulum has shifted in Catherine's life once again. Four years
after peeling back the curtain on The Janus Chamber, we find her
now ironically working as a political journalist, settled into a
mundane routine and dating life because she chose to tell the truth
about Inana Luna instead of embracing a life of decadence with The
Juliette Society. Meeting a man who reignites her passion for
cinema and guilt-free sex makes her realize what she's been
missing, but an unwanted scandal douses the flame. Forced to lay
low, she finds an opportunity to take back her career with a human
interest story in Honduras, but there are people who see
Catherine's article as a threat and will do everything they can to
stop her from writing. The world she finds is unlike anything she's
ever seen. Catherine is The Mismade Girl, and as her life is turned
upside down, she must choose to either perish . . . or be remade
anew.
Alfred C. Kinsey was perhaps the most controversial figure in the
US during the 1950s. His books on sexual behavior in the human male
and female made best-seller lists and were translated into thirteen
languages. Kinsey was denounced by journalists, clergymen, members
of Congress, educators, and even housewives, yet upon his death,
the New York Times called him In Kinsey: A Biography, Cornelia V.
Christenson, an assistant to Dr. Kinsey, discloses the man behind
the myth. She reveals how this dedicated family man and lover of
the great outdoors began his journey as a scientist and ended up
studying sexuality. And as Christenson points out, perhaps Kinsey's
greatest accomplishment during his long struggle for academic
freedom was protecting the freedom of the scientist to explore and
analyze any field of inquiry.
Elisa Sullivan is the only vampire ever born, and she bears a heavy
legacy. After a sojourn with the North American Central Pack of
shifters in the wilderness--where she turned a young woman into a
vampire to save her life--Elisa returns to Chicago. But no good
deed goes unpunished. The ruling body of vampires, the Assembly of
American Masters, is furious that Elisa turned someone without
their permission, and they're out for her blood. When an AAM
vampire is found dead, Elisa is the prime suspect. Someone else is
stalking Chicago-and Elisa. She'll need to keep a clear head, and a
sharp blade, to survive all the supernatural strife.

'Venus in Furs' describes the obsessions of Severin von Kusiemski, a European nobleman who desires to be enslaved to a woman. Severin finds his ideal of voluptuous cruelty in the merciless Wanda von Dunajew. This is a passionate and powerful portrayal of one man's struggle to enlighten and instruct himself and others in the realm of desire. Published in 1870, the novel gained notoriety and a degree of immortality for its author when the word "masochism" - derived from his name - entered the vocabulary of psychiatry. This remains a classic literary statement on sexual submission and control.
