Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Revenge is in her future. But falling for her enemy’s son is one fate this spiritualist could never have envisioned. Playwright Maxwell Millerson would rather spend his days dreaming up stories than cleaning up his father’s messes. But a trendy renovation has the family’s gaming club on the brink of ruin, and not even Max’s imagination can conjure a way out. Desperate, he turns to the multi-talented—and alluringly audacious—Madame Xyla to help him spin gold from straw. Lydia Weaver, professionally known as spiritualist Madame Xyla, has long sought revenge on the man responsible for her cousin’s imprisonment. When her enemy’s son visits her seance room seeking advice, Lydia leaps at the opportunity for vengeance—until Max’s easy charm and poetic words threaten to turn her plans upside-down. As their friendship grows and they give way to their mutual attraction, Lydia and Max must weigh family duty with their hearts’ desires. And only when they confront old wounds and new feelings can a happy ending be in the cards.
Download or read book The Spinster and the Prophet written by Brian Mckillop and published by McClelland & Stewart. This book was released on 2011-11-30 with total page 637 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the UBC Medal for Biography and shortlisted for the Drainie-Taylor Biography Prize. The prolific novelist and social prophet H.G. Wells had a way with words, and usually he had his way with women. That is, until he encountered the feisty Toronto spinster Florence Deeks. In 1925 Miss Deeks launched a $500,000 lawsuit against Wells, claiming that in an act of "literary piracy," Wells had somehow come to use her manuscript history of the world in the writing of his international bestseller The Outline of History , a work still in print today. Thus began one of the most sensational and extraordinary cases in Anglo-Canadian publishing and legal history. In this riveting literary whodunit, A.B. McKillop unfolds the parallel stories of two Edwardian figures and the ambition to capture the sweep of history that possessed them both: H.G. Wells was the celebrated writer of autobiographical fiction and futuristic fantasy who, at the end of the Great War, preached the need for a global world order. Florence Deeks was a modest teacher and amateur student of history who intended to correct traditional scholarship's neglect by writing an account of civilization that stressed the contributions of women. Her manuscript was submitted to the venerable Macmillan Company in Canada but was rejected and never published. Wells's opus, completed in an astonishingly short period, was released by the same firm in North America the year following. As the mystery deepens and new evidence is revealed, it seems that the verdict of the courts in Deeks vs Wells may not be that of history. The cast of characters is as intriguing as it is wide in Canada, the United States, and England: renowned publishers and editors, eminent lawyers and judges, leading journalists and all-seeing office secretaries. Not all, it turns out, merited their reputations. Above all, the tale embraces the lives of the philandering Mr. Wells, his wife, and his mistresses, and the scarcely noted Miss Florence Deeks, her family, her life's work, and her search for justice.

Edward Stanhope, the icy Duke of Thornfield, likes his life in a certain order. Give him a strong drink, a good book, and his dog for company, and he’s content. But when he goes to his library and finds a woman sitting in his chair and petting his dog, a fiery battle of wits ensues—leading to a steamy kiss that could ruin them both if they were caught. Of course, that’s precisely when Edward’s aunt walks in, and introduces Miss Georgiana Bly...the future Duchess of Thornfield. Georgiana was content to be a spinster, spending her days reading and working to keep her family out of debt. But now her days are spent locked away with a growly duke and learning how to be the perfect duchess, and her nights are spent fighting the undeniable attraction to a man who was never meant for her. As their wedding day approaches, the attraction between them burns hot and fierce, but is it enough to melt the duke’s chilly facade?

Book excerpt: Julian Tremaine, the Earl of Basingstoke, is a notorious rake; Lady Jane Bennett is a spinster with a spotless reputation. Neighbors since childhood, they’d always expected to marry. They’d been the best of friends, and when Julian experienced a string of tragedies, Jane had been the one he’d turned to for comfort. However, when her father died the year she turned eighteen, Julian hadn’t known how to be there for her the way she’d been there for him. Instead of marrying her and giving her the protection of his wealth and title, he’d run away, leaving her destitute and alone. Broken-hearted and disappointed, Jane has learned to fend for herself and vowed never to love again. Now, seven years later, circumstances have thrown them into each other’s paths once again. Julian has realized what a mistake he’d made and wants a chance to show her that’s she’s the only woman he’s ever loved. However, thoroughly independent and stubborn Jane would rather be alone than make a mistake of her own. The most charming rake in London is waging a tireless campaign to win the heart of the most confirmed spinster. Will she give in to his advances or be the one to break his heart this time?
Download or read book Spinster Tales and Womanly Possibilities written by Naomi Braun Rosenthal and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The spinster, once a ubiquitous figure in American popular culture, has all but vanished from the scene. Intrigued by the fact that her disappearance seems to have gone unnoticed, Naomi Braun Rosenthal traces the spinster's life and demise by using stories from the Ladies' Home Journal (from 1890, 1913, and 1933), along with Hollywood films from the 1940s and 1950s, such as It's a Wonderful Life; Now, Voyager; and Summertime, among others. Originally invoked as a symbol of female independence a hundred years ago, when marriage and career were considered to be incompatible choices for women, spinsterhood was advocated as an alternate path by some and viewed as a threat to family life by others. Today, there are few traces of the spinster's existence—the options open to women have dramatically changed—but we continue to grapple with concerns about women's desires and "the future of the family."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: His male beauty moved her. His vulnerability touched her. His past horrified her. Longing for adventure, Anne Sommer, a spinster firmly on the shelf, does the unthinkable. She engages a man from the Blind Cupid brothel for several nights of scandalous pleasure. Anne wants the sensual memories to keep her company in the solitary years ahead. However, she did not expect the young man to move her in ways she had never imagined. Desmond Glover gives sexual gratification—for a price. Since scandal and poverty mired his orphan childhood, Desmond has learned to close off his emotions, particularly concerning his occupation. He did not count on a lonely woman to awaken his hidden passion. And touch his heart. Not only do the years separate them, but so do their social standings. Can Anne and Desmond cross such a chasm and find mutual desire—or lasting love?
