Rope by Anastasia Rabiyah
Garrett is determined to win Del over, even if he has to tie her up to convince her he’s what she needs.
When Del meets a handsome cowboy at a guest ranch in Arizona
while on a business trip, she has no intention of forming a
relationship. She’s come off a bad divorce. Trust is not something she’s
willing to give. She likes being in control and the safety of a
solitary life.
Garrett is immediately attracted to the dark-haired beauty he
finds himself dancing with in the rustic, guest ranch bar. He’s
intrigued by her need not to know him and her arduous kiss. Not easily
turned down, he follows her back to her room to finish the dance she
walked out on.

New Book Release: The Past's Promise
The Past's Promise by Carolyn Gregg
She found the ultimate love of her life in another time...and as a man.
Taking her history class to visit the ruins of a historic fort in west Texas, the scorching heat turned her world upside down.
Suddenly, nothing was the way it was supposed to be. She was no longer Jessie Wharton. She was Jesse Webster. She wasn't a teacher. She was a private in the US Army stationed at Fort Callaghan, a completely functional outpost. And it was 1867.
Worse, she wasn't a she any longer. She was a man. A man who was finding himself falling in love with a fellow soldier named Martin Parrish.
Together, they discovered love in the scorching Texas heat, in a time when the merest breath of homosexuality was enough to have the accused whipped to death...if the native Indians didn't scalp them first.

New Book Release: My Prayer, Vol. 2
My Prayer, Volume 2 by Rabbi Nissan Mindel
As for me MY PRAYER: A commentary on the daily, Shabbat & Festival Prayers. Authored by the late Rabbi Dr. Nissan Mindel, noted scholar and prolific author, and first published in 1972, it quickly became a standard text on the Siddur.
In arranging the structure of our daily prayers, the Sages selected Biblical and Talmudic passages that would evoke and articulate one`s deepest religious feelings, to convey the sublime outpouring of the heart and inspire the cleaving of the soul to G-d. At the same time, they include texts that express the basic truths and tenets of Judaism, from elementary moral and ethical values to the highest concept of Monotheism as proclaimed in the Shema.
Volume one provides a profoundly illuminating commentary on the morning, afternoon and evening prayers, on Grace After Meals and the Prayer Before Retiring to Bed. A comprehensive introduction explores the deeper, often mystical, content of the daily prayers.
Volume two is devoted to the Shabbat prayers. A short yet incisive Introduction explores the unique nature of Shabbat.
Shabbat and Festivals are days of spiritual rest and regeneration, when everyone has the opportunity to take an unhurried contemplative approach to prayer. The Shabbat and Yom Tov prayers will assume a new and rich dimension in the light of this comprehensive study.
The two-volume reissue of this classic work has been completely redesigned beautifully ensconced in a gift-worthy slipcase. Volume two includes additional previously unpublished material, including short essays on Sefirat HaOmer, the Festivals and High-Holiday prayers, Tashlich and Kapparot, Blessing of the New Moon, Eiruv Tavshilin, the Priestly Blessing, Shoshanat Yaakov, Akdamot and Pidyon Haben.
"The deeper content of the familiar Siddur (prayer book) is sadly unfamiliar to the average layman," says Kehot editor Rabbi Avraham D. Vaisfiche. "For the individual eager to gain a deeper understanding of our sacred prayers, MY PRAYER, opens new vistas in how the Siddur is a source book of Jewish ethics and basic concepts of Judaism."

New Book Release: A Perfect Arrangement
A Perfect Arrangement by Sandra Sookoo
When life’s a bitch, slap her back.
Mackenzie Andrews is having a bad day. She’s lost her job at a Chicago interior design firm, her roommate kicked her out in favor of a fiancé’s company and now her sports car is in a snowy ditch in the middle of nowhere.
Lucas Brown, a victim of the financial sector collapse, has turned to carpentry for a living, but his favorite hobby is trying to “fix” people. Grounded by an unwavering sense of optimism, when he meets Mackenzie, he starts to think of a future, which means telling his ex to take a permanent hike.
Dirk Jennings has seen too many horrible things in life—first in Afghanistan then as an EMT on the mean streets of Chicago. He’s not a touchy-feely guy, but after rescuing Mackenzie from her snowy wreck, he wouldn’t mind an occasional round of sex.
While the town of Redemption Cove caters to the ménage a trois lifestyle, the three lost souls thrown together by circumstance aren’t sure such a situation will work, but none of them can deny the desire and need swirling between them. With a little understanding they might just stumble upon a perfect arrangement.

New Book Release: Knowledge and Faith
Knowledge and Faith by Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi
As true as the fact that the mind and its elements are gifts from G-d, so does faith inspire us in a way that mere accumulation of knowledge cannot. Faith`s inspiration lifts us beyond the boundaries of our finite existence, yet, that inspiration can depart just as easily as it came. Knowledge, however, becomes a part of us and thus changes us decisively. In effect, faith and knowledge complement and balance each other. Delivered on Shabbat Parshat Va`etchanan, Shabbat Nachamu, 5565 (1805), this discourse discusses the fundamental concept of faith in G-d as compared to the imperative to "know" G-d, and the differences between the two.
