The Impoverished Dowry
Coral de Petras is on the hunt for the perfect husband, and she doesn't care who knows it. In her third Season and with the shock of her father's shipping business collapsing in disaster, Coral makes the hard decision to forgo a love match and fall back on the plan she had as a child. Marry for money. But if Coral's giving up a love match, she doesn't just want to settle for any gentleman: she has a list. A list of all the qualities she will demand from her future husband-and publishes it in all the newspapers. A chance introduction with a duke (sadly not fulfilling all the points on her list) throws her completely off balance. Her dowry is gone, but doesn't that mean she should demand the a...

Isn't there some sort of gambling den he can lose himself in? Scorned by the other gentleman of Society and frustrated with the constant irritations of his family, Micah returns again and again to the only woman who wants nothing more from him than his weekly allowance.

The Convenient Engagement
Sapphire de Petras will be taken seriously. All she needs to do is fake a convenient engagement. After all, it was ridiculous. Yes, she was the youngest of the de Petras family, but that didn't mean she needed to be treated like a complete child.

If only either of them thought about how to extricate themselves from this ruse? The engagement may be convenient but the emotions flying are very real, and before long Sapphire is faced with complicated questions about love, friendship, family?and just what she will risk to have it all.

Chrétien de Troyes
The supplement to the 1976 original bibliography reflects the expanding scope of modern Chrétien studies, including items from around the world, with the assistance of an international team of scholars.

Chrétien de Troyes bequeathed a corpus of highly original and widely influential Arthurian romances. Indeed, his direct or indirect influence continued throughout the middle ages and beyond into modern times. The Bibliographypermits students of medieval romanc...
All This Belongs to Me
"Alta, Zaya, Nara, Oyuna and Dolgorna - a mother, three sisters, and the teenage daughter of one of the sisters - each tell their pieces of the family story, an epic fraught with secrets and betrayals, in All This Belongs to Me, the debut novel of Petra Hulova." "All This Belongs to Me transports the reader from Mongolia's harsh, dusty steppe to the clamor and grime of the capital, Ulaanbantar; from nomanic herding and felt tents to brothels and prefab apartment blocks. With a filmic eye and a dead-on ear, Hulova vividly conveys the landscapes and lives of three generations of women. Two of the sisters, born illegitimately of their mother's clandestine affairs with foreigners - one Chinese, one Russian - struggle with the stigma of being half-breeds, while the strict division of male and female labor and social roles plays out in the city and country alike, with devastating consequences." --Book Jacket.
