Book excerpt: Arguably the single most influential literary work of the European Middle Ages, the Roman de la Rose of Guillaume de Lorris and Jean de Meun has traditionally posed a number of difficulties to modern critics, who have viewed its many interruptions and philosophical discussions as signs of a lack of formal organization and a characteristically medieval predilection for encyclopedic summation. In Fortune's Faces, Daniel Heller-Roazen calls into question these assessments, offering a new and compelling interpretation of the romance as a carefully constructed and far-reaching exploration of the place of fortune, chance, and contingency in literary writing. Situating the Romance of the Rose at the intersection of medieval literature and philosophy, Heller-Roazen shows how the thirteenth-century work invokes and radicalizes two classical and medieval traditions of reflection on language and contingency: that of the Provençal, French, and Italian love poets, who sought to compose their "verses of pure nothing"in a language Dante defined as "without grammar," and that of Aristotle's discussion of "future contingents" as it was received and refined in the logic, physics, theology, and epistemology of Boethius, Abelard, Albert the Great, and Thomas Aquinas.Through a close analysis of the poetic text and a detailed reconstruction of the logical and metaphysical concept of contingency, Fortune's Faces charts the transformations that literary structures (such as subjectivity, autobiography, prosopopoeia, allegory, and self-reference) undergo in a work that defines itself as radically contingent. Considered in its full poetic and philosophical dimensions, the Romance of the Rose thus acquires an altogether new significance in the history of literature: it appears as a work that incessantly explores its own capacity to be other than it is.

Weaving her way through the glamorous world of upper-crust Manhattan society, Yelena Vega seems to have everything any young socialite could wish for. Internationally acclaimed as a prodigy musician, she is surrounded by adoring fans and a doting family of overprotective males. But all fairy tales have secrets and horrors behind their picture-perfect facade. When the family secrets turn too dangerous, former gun-for-hire Daniel Cruz is brought in as Yelena's bodyguard. The professional relationship spans more than a decade, and Daniel eventually becomes much more to Yelena than just hired muscle. Can he withstand the painful secrets from his own past and protect both her life and her heart? Surrounded by the pressure-filled world of musical fame as the inheritress of the richest family in America, Yelena gradually finds that there are horrifying secrets even she does not know. As her tale unravels, she finds that organized crime, murder, kidnapping, and sexual abuse may be just some of the secrets casting shadows on Yelena's otherwise-charmed life. Can she survive these threats and the other truths revealed in Fortune's Secrets? Author Emily K. Reuter blends equal parts romance and suspense in this crime drama as she launches Yelena into a demanding world caught up in the opulence, intrigue, and flash of today's celebrity society. Can this tale end in happily ever after? Fortune's Secrets is the first in a series from The Vega Family Saga. Sensual, stark and charged with grisly dark secrets, a devoted hero and a courageous yet delicate heroine!
