  Tenant of Wildfell Hall...

  Anne Brontë

  When Helen Graham moves into old Wildfell Hall with her little son Arthur, the rustic neighborhood comes alive with gossip and speculation, particularly when saturnine Mr. Lawrence (who bears an uncanny resemblance to the child) begins to visit her clandestinely.  Local gentleman farmer Gilbert Markham falls in love with her almost against his will, despite rumors that she supports herself by the work of her hands and can give no account of her origins.  Only when her diary comes into Markham’s hands do we find out why she has so exiled herself.  As the chapters of the diary unfold, explicit scenes of adultery, seduction, and debauchery show why the novel was so shocking when it was first published, easily outselling the more famous debut novels of the three Brontë sisters.  Often called the first “feminist” novel, “Wildfell Hall” may have been most shocking for its depiction of a strong-willed, independent single mother, for its criticism of the marriage institution, and for its many passages crying out against the unfair advantages accorded to men over women.Importantly, this recording is based on the original 1848 Newby edition, not on the later, badly-mutilated version that mystifyingly continues to be the basis for modern editions advertised as “unabridged.”  The novel had already been suppressed after Anne’s death by her sister Charlotte but received an even more serious injustice in 1854 when publisher Thomas Hodgson excised over sixteen thousand words, dozens of “unladylike” profanities, and numerous descriptions of dissolute male behavior, turning the Hodgson edition into a pale shadow of Anne Brontë’s original, visceral work as here presented. - Summary by Expatriate

  The first time I got on my knees for President Ashley, it was the night of his inauguration… 
  And I was only doing my job… helping him remove his shoes. 
  I’m Lieutenant Commander Kenan Harper, the president’s trusted valet. His loyal aide. His bodyman… 
  And the fool who’s been in love with Garner Ashley since long before I took this job. 
  If I had my way, I’d be so much more than his employee, but to say that would be impossible would be the understatement of the century. Garner might be the first openly gay president, but the world’s not ready for a gay First Gentleman, and Garner’s never looked at me with anything but professional courtesy… 
  Until suddenly, he does. 
  The first touch between us sparks years of longing into a blaze so bright and wild, neither of us can deny our feelings any longer. But when a relationship is this forbidden, this career-ending, this… world-changing… both of us will have choices to make. 
  Will I remain in the shadows as the president’s bodyman… or stand out and proud by Garner’s side as the one he loves?

One of the few shifters who is ecstatic about her newfound status, the chestnut-haired ballerina bear shifter arrives for her month at Camp Shifter with unbridled excitement.

She always wanted the roll in the hay, but she never imagined the passion would be so intense. Fate drives her to find love.
