A Place Called Home
by Jo GoodmanWhen Thea Wyndham and Mitchell Baker learn they've been named joint guardians for their late friends' three children, they're little more than acquaintances. Barely polite acquaintances, at that. Something about Mitch's forthright intensity has always left ad exec Thea feeling off-balance, while Mitch makes no secret of his disdain when Thea offers him financial assistance if he'll take sole guardianship. Thea is far from heartless. She's just plain terrified of her new parenting responsibilities. Both she and Mitch are romantically involved with other people. Yet the more time they spend together, the less certain she is of her loyalties. There are complications and missteps, tears and laughter--lots of it. And somehow, through it all, the dawning realization that the last place she thought she'd find herself could be just where she belongs. . . Praise for Jo Goodman's Marry MeFans of historical and western romance will appreciate Goodman's witty dialogue, first-rate narrative prose and clever plotting. -Publishers Weekly (starred review) An insightful, gently sensual love story. -Library Journal

Plato's Erotic World
by Jill GordonPlato's entire fictive world is permeated with philosophical concern for eros, well beyond the so-called erotic dialogues. Several metaphysical, epistemological, and cosmological conversations - Timaeus, Cratylus, Parmenides, Theaetetus, and Phaedo - demonstrate that eros lies at the root of the human condition and that properly guided eros is the essence of a life well lived. This book presents a holistic vision of eros, beginning with the presence of eros at the origin of the cosmos and the human soul, surveying four types of human self-cultivation aimed at good guidance of eros, and concluding with human death as a return to our origins. The book challenges conventional wisdom regarding the "erotic dialogues" and demonstrates that Plato's world is erotic from beginning to end: the human soul is primordially erotic and the well cultivated erotic soul can best remember and return to its origins, its lifelong erotic desire.

Play It Again, Charlie
by R. CooperAfter an accident left him broken in body and spirit, Charlie Howard retired from the police force to teach at a community college. Life has taught him that he's unlikely to get what he wants, so he's stopped asking. Instead, he hides from the world in the apartment complex he manages. After all, no one can leave him if he doesn't let anyone in. Will, a sexy, classic-film-loving twink, moves into the apartment across from him and--to Charlie's surprise--makes it clear that he'd like nothing more than to hole up with Charlie and get kinky. Will has no problem expressing what he wants in bed or out of it, but he's never dated anyone long-term, and Charlie isn't sure Will's ready for anything serious. Charlie is a serious kind of guy. He wants Will and everything a relationship could mean, even if he doesn't have any experience in that scene--even if that makes him vulnerable. As they grow closer, Charlie realizes that it's time to start asking for what he wants, and if he wants to be happy, he'll have to risk everything and ask Will to stay.
