In this "delightfully uncanny" collection of feminist retellings of traditional Japanese folktales (The New York Times Book Review), humans live side by side with spirits who provide a variety of useful services—from truth-telling to babysitting, from protecting castles to fighting crime. A busybody aunt who disapproves of hair removal; a pair of door-to-door saleswomen hawking portable lanterns; a cheerful lover who visits every night to take a luxurious bath; a silent house-caller who babysits and cleans while a single mother is out working. Where the Wild Ladies Are is populated by these and many other spirited women—who also happen to be ghosts. This is a realm in which jealousy, stubbornness, and other excessive “feminine” passions are not to be feared or suppressed, but rather cultivated; and, chances are, a man named Mr. Tei will notice your talents and recruit you, dead or alive (preferably dead), to join his mysterious company. With Where the Wild Ladies Are, Aoko Matsuda takes the rich, millenia-old tradition of Japanese folktales—shapeshifting wives and foxes, magical trees and wells—and wholly reinvents them, presenting a world in which humans are consoled, guided, challenged, and transformed by the only sometimes visible forces that surround them.

Newly returned from India, Miss Cecilia Worth, who has been dubbed “Miss Disaster” by the gossips, needs a husband. Or rather, her guardian, Lord Marshfield, believes she absolutely requires one. Cecy, however, strongly disagrees. Still, she is willing to humor her guardian and venture to London to participate in the Marriage Mart - so long as she is able to choose the man she will eventually marry. The last thing Lord Trenton Pike wants is to be called home from the Continent to play chaperone to his uncle’s ward, Miss Worth. Unfortunately, he also doesn’t have a choice in the matter. Escorting Cecy about London, Trent would be only too happy to foist her off upon the first man who would take her – except that doing so would break his uncle’s heart. As Trent trails Cecy around London, however, he comes to see that she is not the walking disaster he assumed she was. In fact, she’s far more than what he or anyone else sees. They just don’t bother to look closely. Can Trent find Cecy a husband by the end of the Season, one who can see her for the wonderful woman she truly is? And more importantly, can he keep her out of his bed until that mystery man finally appears to sweep her away to wedded bliss? This 99,000 word novel is written in the modern, Regency romance style for a slightly hotter and sexier read. It may not be appropriate for younger audiences.

The aristocratic Rose Pender and her husband, James, were among the thousands of English travelers in the American West during the latter half of the nineteenth century. This is Pender's lively account of a grand tour in 1883 of Texas, California, Salt Lake City, Wyoming, Dakota Territory, and far-flung points. ø A. B. Guthrie Jr. in his foreword writes that "all students and collectors will want" A Lady's Experiences in the Wild West in 1883. "It deals with a West in transition from frontier to the glimmer of modern times, from open range to fenced pastures, from trails to trains, from makeshift and made-do to more convenient and easier ways. We see it through the eyes and from the sensibilities of a gentlewoman and a Britisher to boot. The woman was indeed a Lady. She brought to America her highborn prejudices and standards. . .and with them a sharp eye, a chatty pen, and a game spirit. . . . She adds to our knowledge of a time no one is old enough to remember."

He’s a roughhewn bastard. She’s a rebellious noblewoman. Their passion bridges the class divide in a scintillating novel of forbidden desire and raw sensuality from the USA Today bestselling author of To Lure a Proper Lady. Lady Caroline Wilde is expected to ride sidesaddle, but she’s not about to embrace convention. She’s also expected to keep a chaste distance from men like Adrian Crosby, the new estate agent, yet she cannot cease her ogling—which is especially irksome considering their ongoing feud. Adrian insists that the fields must be planted; Caro needs those same fields to train her horses. But whenever she tries to put him in his place, Caro looks into his steely gaze and her words simply . . . disappear. A bastard son who grew up on the Wyvern estate, Adrian was lucky enough to receive an education at the behest of the late marchioness. Now that he has set out on his own, Adrian knows better than to fall for Lady Caroline, the Duke of Sherrington’s daughter. Caroline is at once a thorn in his side and an exquisite temptation, especially when she’s playing the feisty daredevil. Adrian would give anything for a chance to tame her—and with Caro in the saddle, he just might get his wish.

You’ll be reading long past your bedtime!”—New York Times bestselling author Jennifer McQuiston “Ashlyn Macnamara brings all the elegance and romance of the Regency to life.”—New York Times bestselling author Tessa Dare “A witty, sexy historical romance . . . which will keep readers turning the pages.”—Romance Junkies, on What a Lady Craves “Intriguing, dramatic, and sexually charged.”—Library Journal, on What a Lady Demands “A wonderful tale depicting an intelligent heroine who speaks her mind.”—Fresh Fiction, on What a Lady Requires Includes an excerpt from another Loveswept title.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • One million copies sold! “A deeply spiritual book [that] honors what is tough, smart and untamed in women.”—The Washington Post Book World Book club pick for Emma Watson’s Our Shared Shelf Within every woman there lives a powerful force, filled with good instincts, passionate creativity, and ageless knowing. She is the Wild Woman, who represents the instinctual nature of women. But she is an endangered species. For though the gifts of wildish nature belong to us at birth, society’s attempt to “civilize” us into rigid roles has muffled the deep, life-giving messages of our own souls. In Women Who Run with the Wolves, Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés unfolds rich intercultural myths, fairy tales, folk tales, and stories, many from her own traditions, in order to help women reconnect with the fierce, healthy, visionary attributes of this instinctual nature. Through the stories and commentaries in this remarkable book, we retrieve, examine, love, and understand the Wild Woman, and hold her against our deep psyches as one who is both magic and medicine. Dr. Estés has created a new lexicon for describing the female psyche. Fertile and life-giving, it is a psychology of women in the truest sense, a knowing of the soul.

A collection of meaningful messages to manage misgivings, surmount self-sabotage and submit to the super power of the soul. Written wildly to entertain and engage the wit of wild women, the twists of tales here electrify the light of life. Wild words send signals to chakra energy centres to break down blockages and balance the scales of sensibilities shook by silly and sorrowful situations. Wild ways often precede personal power by making sense of senselessly supressing self-love. It’s a long learning curve when your losses outweigh your wins. Words for Wild Women prompts reflection, developing a deeper understanding of why each misstep and misfortune on a wild road act as miles stones to self-mastery. The will of the wild is not motivated by madness, but rather a mission to overcome the heat from hell. Seek to ascend through the channels of change with love. Self-love.
