Following Ophelia
When Mary Adams sees Millais’ depiction of the tragic Ophelia, a whole new world opens up for her. Determined to find out more about the beautiful girl in the painting, she hears the story of Lizzie Siddal – a girl from a modest background, not unlike her own, who has found fame and fortune against the odds. Mary sets out to become a Pre-Raphaelite muse, too, and reinvents herself as Persephone Lavelle. But as she fights her way to become the new face of London’s glittering art scene, ‘Persephone’ ends up mingling with some of the city’s more nefarious types and is forced to make some impossible choices. Will Persephone be forced to betray those she loves, and even the person she once was, if she is to achieve her dreams?
Definitely, Maybe in Love
Definitely, Maybe in Love is a modern take on Pride and Prejudice that proves true love is worth risking a little pride. Spring Honeycutt wants two things: to ace her thesis and save the environment. Easy, right? Uh. No. When her professor suggests with a few changes the thesis could be published, she’s willing to do whatever it takes to make that happen. Except––that means forming a partnership with the very hot, very privileged, very conceited Henry Knightly. He’s her polar opposite and pushes all her buttons. When she finds there's more to Henry than his old money and argyle sweaters...it’s hard not to like him––a lot. Suddenly, choosing between what she wants and needs puts Spring at odds with everything she believes in.

One night and one large pitcher of " Vegas Sunrise" later, Jules wakes up in a hotel bed with a vicious hangover...wearing nothing but a wedding ring. Other than their names on the same marriage license, Dexter has zero in common with flower-power Jules. Though their quickie marriage does mean he's won a long-standing bet with his siblings over who will walk down the aisle next. Continuing the sham through the wedding weekend so he and Jules can both cash in shouldn't be too hard-except Jules keeps getting under his skin in unexpected ways. Jules has her own reasons for needing to stay married to Dex, yet they all seem less important with each exaggerated touch and staged kiss. But one marriage, one major secret, and two complete opposites don't add up to a happily ever after...

Ophelia and Victorian Visual Culture
Kimberly Rhodes's interdisciplinary book is the first to explore fully the complicated representational history of Shakespeare's Ophelia during the Victorian period. In nineteenth-century Britain, the shape, function and representation of women's bodies were typically regulated and interpreted by public and private institutions, while emblematic fictional female figures like Ophelia functioned as idealized templates of Victorian womanhood.
