Sinopse

With her aging grandfather on his deathbed and not expected by his doctors to live for more than two or three months, it comes as little comfort to the beautiful Gytha Sullivan that he has made her the heiress to his considerable fortune. What is much worse is Sir Robert Sullivan’s fear that she will be seduced by some ‘smarmy fortune-hunter’, who will squander her inheritance.And this deep concern of his makes him insist that she marries one or other of her two loathsome cousins, Vincent and Jonathan, who will do anything to take his fortune for themselves.Desperate to escape from this terrible fate, Gytha goes to visit the Master of the neighbouring estate, the dashingly handsome Lord Locke, whose life her father once saved in the War against Napoleon, and beseeches him to, in turn, save her by becoming engaged to her, thereby making a forced marriage to either of her cousins impossible. Appalled by the poor girl’s plight his Lordship agrees much to the anger of Gytha’s family and his exotic lover the entrancing Princess Zuleika. Little does Lord Locke know that, as he gains a false fiancée, he is truly about to lose his heart!

    After a ‘fixed marriage’ breaks, a custody battle rages between pastors for God’s children. But was the divorce itself ‘in the best interest of the child?’ It’s another ‘street fight on a chessboard’ with The Jury Whisperer and the courtroom war king defending the controversial leader of Sheep in Wolf’s Clothing. 
    ‘All rise’ as temptation itself judges how a Bible Trivia event escalated to physical fights, subliminal threats, lamb-pranks, and even a spiritual restraining order! Will wisdom itself object to public opinion? And will a new parable ‘break the spell’ of an invisible bondage? It’s a whodunit range of Christian Hart, Farah Seas, Nico, Alpha, Smart Alec, Goody Two-Shoes, a ‘fashion police’ judge, and many more.

    A fearful-avoidant heart longs for closeness but fears the very intimacy it craves. At the same time, a dismissive-avoidant spirit stands fiercely independent, guarding its space, its peace, and its sense of control. When these two attachment styles collide, connection becomes a battlefield—tender one moment, distant and cold the next. 
    In Fearful Meets Dismissive: When Insecurity Faces Independence, Johanna Sparrow brings the push-pull dynamic of avoidant love to life through raw storytelling and therapeutic insight. This is not just a love story. It is an emotional excavation of the hidden wounds, attachment injuries, and protective patterns that keep partners locked in cycles of longing, withdrawal, and reconnection. 
    Through deeply human characters and psychologically grounded reflection, this audiobook explores:The fearful-avoidant need for closeness and fear of abandonmentThe dismissive-avoidant drive for independence and emotional controlWhy intimacy can feel both magnetic and threateningHow attachment wounds silently shape adult relationships 
    If you have ever felt too much and not enough at the same time… 
     If you have loved someone who needed space just when you needed reassurance… 
     If connection has felt confusing instead of safe… 
    Your attachment story may shape your experiences, but it does not have to define you. 
    Understanding it can transform everything.

    The acclaimed novel of girlhood, friendship, and sexuality set in the bohemian Greenwich Village of 1970, with a new introduction by Jessica Anya BlauFourteen-year-old Rainey Royal—fierce, gifted, and dangerously magnetic—lives in a once-elegant, now-crumbling townhouse with her cultish jazz-pianist father and the women who orbit him. Her mother is gone. Her father’s best friend hovers too close. And Rainey, left largely to her own devices, must learn to navigate desire, betrayal, and vulnerability in a city that shimmers with promise and threat. As she gathers friends and misfits into her orbit, Rainey tests the limits of who she can become—sometimes a rebel, sometimes a criminal, always a girl determined to recreate herself as both an artist and a young woman in a fractured world.Each book in the Rainey Royal cycle can be read on its own, but together they echo and amplify one another, creating a world of almost unbearable richness and intensity.
