Never had his magic been so chaotic—almost out of control. What he feels clear to his soul though… the person once revealed will forever change his life.

Or will she push him away, shatter his heart and hers—and doom his magic?

This is a new improved edition, published with a new cover and edits to improve readability and correct a few pesky errors. Features a brave woman with a battered heart resistant to love, a sexy protective hero, a sweet cherub looking for a mommy—and a matchmaking grandma from the afterlife. You’ll encounter steamy encounters and graphic language as they slide into their HEA! She hides behind her broken heart... Natalie suffered a loss no mother should ever have to, and came out the other side vowing to keep her fractured heart locked away forever. Back in the magical town she grew up in, her plans to hide away in her gram’s now empty home are foiled when a little girl suddenly appears on her porch, followed by the man she’d spent a week with years ago while standing vigil at her cousin’s hospital bed. A man she’d held in her heart ever since. As her gaze locks on those gunmetal gray eyes, recognition is instantaneous—and the attraction as electric as ever. He’d fallen under her spell years ago… Zach couldn’t believe someone would snap at his little girl just because she’d suggested turning on Christmas lights. When he bounds up his new neighbor’s porch steps to retrieve Belle, he comes face to face with the woman who’d burrowed into his mind and heart years ago—a woman he’d not been able to forget—and was shocked at the pain and sadness still radiating from the depths of her beautiful eyes. Will she allow him to prove to her not all men have evil intentions, and open her heart to loving her holiday hero?

This early work by Radclyffe Hall was originally published in 1928 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. 'The Well of Loneliness' is a novel that follows an upper-class Englishwoman who falls in love with another woman while serving as an ambulance driver in World War I. Marguerite Radclyffe Hall was born on 12th August 1880, in Bournemouth, England. Hall's first novel The Unlit Lamp (1924) was a lengthy and grim tale that proved hard to sell. It was only published following the success of the much lighter social comedy The Forge (1924), which made the best-seller list of John O'London's Weekly. Hall is a key figure in lesbian literature for her novel The Well of Loneliness (1928). This is her only work with overt lesbian themes and tells the story of the life of a masculine lesbian named Stephen Gordon.

In this compact volume readers just beginning Proust's master work and those who are already enriched by it will become aware of a significance not unkown but only forgotten"--the basic structure of Proust's enormous novel. The overall meaning of Proust's book lies in his three ways of looking at the world--cinematographic, montage, and stereoscopic--and their varying effects on the emotions and the intellect. Originally published in 1983. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

"Shattuck leaves us not only with a deepened appreciation of Proust's great work but of all great literature as well."—Richard Bernstein, New York Times For any reader who has been humbled by the language, the density, or the sheer weight of Marcel Proust's In Search of Lost Time, Roger Shattuck is a godsend. Winner of the National Book Award for Marcel Proust, a sweeping examination of Proust's life and works, Shattuck now offers a useful and eminently readable guidebook to Proust's epic masterpiece, and a contemplation of memory and consciousness throughout great literature. Here, Shattuck laments Proust's defenselessness against zealous editors, praises some translations, and presents Proust as a novelist whose philosophical gifts were matched only by his irrepressible comic sense. Proust's Way, the culmination of a lifetime of scholarship, will serve as the next generation's guide to one of the world's finest writers of fiction.
