Book excerpt: When a governess has unusual experience, there is only one place she belongs: the Governess Bureau.That's the trouble when you wake up with no memories from the last ten years: what do you do? For Miss Rachel Herriot, she has only one option - to be sent to a quiet manor house with one charge, Violet, to care for. A little governessing and recuperation, that's all she needs.Unfortunately, that's not what she'll get. Waiting for her at Quintrell Hall is not the idyllic quiet country life she was promised, but a gentleman called Timothy Astor. Mysterious, frequently absent from his home, and kissing her passionately in corridors with no introduction, Mr. Astor is not what Rachel expected.And that's the trouble with losing one's memory, isn't it? As Timothy watches the woman he knew and loved attempt to recognize him, there's nothing for him but to quietly pretend their clandestine love affair - and their completely illegal adventures in France never happened.But the past is looming and about to collide with the future. As preparations for Miss Violet Quintrell's entrance into Society are threatened by Timothy's refusal to reveal Rachel's own past, there'll be more than one unusual experience for this governess?This full length novel is a steamy Regency romance with a happily ever after, no cliffhangers, and is part of a series that can be read in any order.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sensational US debut of a major French writer—an intense, delicious meringue of a novella In a large country house shut off from the world by a gated garden, three young governesses responsible for the education of a group of little boys are preparing a party. The governesses, however, seem to spend more time running around in a state of frenzied desire than attending to the children’s education. One of their main activities is lying in wait for any passing stranger, and then throwing themselves on him like drunken Maenads. The rest of the time they drift about in a kind of sated, melancholy calm, spied upon by an old man in the house opposite, who watches their goings-on through a telescope. As they hang paper lanterns and prepare for the ball in their own honor, and in honor of the little boys rolling hoops on the lawn, much is mysterious: one reviewer wrote of the book’s “deceptively simple words and phrasing, the transparency of which works like a mirror reflecting back on the reader.” Written with the elegance of old French fables, the dark sensuality of Djuna Barnes and the subtle comedy of Robert Walser, this semi-deranged erotic fairy tale introduces American readers to the marvelous Anne Serre.

Book excerpt: Armstrong argues that conflicting readings occur because readers with opposing suppositions about language, literature, and life can generate irreconcilable hypotheses about a text. Without endorsing a particular critical methodology, the author offers a theory designed to help readers better understand the causes and consequences of interpretive disagreement so that they may make more informed choices about the various interpretive strategies available to them.

Worse luck for her, she's stuck out in the country with a master who is afraid to leave his house with a wife who died but no one will speak of, his sister who mysteriously disappears whenever anyone wants her, and a brother who...A brother who absolutely should not be kissing her. Especially as he's a duke. Oscar Fernsby, Duke of Kilerth, only planned to visit his brother for a few weeks. Prove the man was fine, then return to London to continue his anonymous bare knuckle boxing fights. Until a woman he thinks he recognizes but cannot place turns up at his brother's house, blackmails him into silence, and distracts him with her beauty and strange skills. Because this Helena, the governess, is strange. More at home with a sword in her hand than chalk, Oscar knows that something isn't quite right. The only way to discover her secrets is to get close to her. What a shame. Everyone at the Old Abbey has secrets, but it will take a governess of prodigious skill to discover them all - and keep her own a secret...
