Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888) was an American novelist and short story writer best known for the novels "Little Women" and "Little Men." In her later life, Alcott became an advocate of women's suffrage and was part of a group of female authors during the Gilded Age to address women's issues in a modern and candid manner. In this gem of a collection are Alcott short stories: The Candy Country, A Modern Cinderella, The Brothers, Nelly's Hospital, and Debby's Debut.

Fascinated as she was by the lives of the Brontë siblings, May Sinclair loosely based her subtly sensual, quietly insurrectionary 1914 novel The Three Sisters on the Haworth moor milieu of the three literary Brontë sisters. Alice, Gwenda, and Mary Cartaret are the daughters of the Vicar of Garth, an abusive father with rigid, selfish expectations for female behavior. Hope of rescue seems to dawn in the person of an idealistic young doctor in the village, but this is no Austen romance. Described with Edwardian restraint, it is still sexual passion that is the underlying theme of the story: ...

In this May Sinclair wartime masterpiece, dashing newsman Walter Furnival is an absurdly good catch: handsome, successful, athletic, intelligent, an upstanding epitome of manhood and rectitude. Tasker Jevons is a puny, preposterous, impossible-looking, bombastic sports writer, without one single redeeming social grace. Imagine the jealous mortification of Furny when his enchanting young typist and love interest Viola Thesiger chooses the clownish Jevons as a lover, seeing in him a remarkable inner beauty not evident to anyone but her and (as he grudgingly but magnanimously admits) the ...

Some rescues require more than medical training. Some battles are worth the risk. The last person Dr. Kira Yassan expects to walk back into her life is the soldier whose life she saved in a war zone three years ago. She came to Renegade, Colorado to disappear —to work her ER shifts and forget the classified missions that nearly destroyed her soul. But when US Marshals drag her into a witness protection case, every carefully built wall comes crashing down. Private investigator Luca Saxon thought the mysterious doctor who patched him up in Syria was just a beautiful memory.

Eine Nacht. Kein Name. Keine Regeln. Kein Zurück. Nach einer Nacht, die alles verändert, verlieren sie sich – ohne Nummer, ohne Versprechen, aber mit der Ahnung, dass da mehr war.

Doch es sind nicht mehr die des Mannes, mit dem sie die leidenschaftlichste Nacht ihres Lebens verbracht hat. Sie sind kühl und abweisend. Warum nur?

Most of these stories were written at sixteen for my younger sisters and their playmates, the little Emersons and Channings, and appeared some years later under the name of "Flower Fables." With some additions they are now republished for the amusement of those children's children by their old friend, L. M. ALCOTT. June, 1887. - Summary by Louisa May Alcott

One perfect day in Barcelona. One kiss that changed everything. One goodbye that broke my heart. I've always been the overlooked sister, the forgotten friend, the girl in the background of everyone else's love story. But when a handsome stranger rescued my purse-and then my entire day-I dared to believe my story might finally be starting. Then he vanished. No explanation. No phone number. Not even a last name. Classic. Fast forward to six months later, when I discover my mystery man is Brody "Candy" Kane-NHL golden boy, my sister's fiancé's teammate-and he needs a favor.
