    May I Call You Mistress? is the first book in the spicy lesbian romance series entitled An Awakening of Desire, and is a winner of the LESFIC BARD AWARDS EROTICA NOVELLA of the year. 
If the woman who filled your teenage sexual fantasies walked back into your life seventeen years later, more beautiful and bolder than you thought possible, would you be able to resist? 
In this steamy sapphic romance, professional photographer Abby Mason's world turns upside down when a last-minute job reunites her with Victoria Fraser - her sister's former piano teacher and her teenage crush. Their age gap means nothing now that they're both adults, but Victoria's involvement in the BDSM lifestyle opens Abby's eyes to possibilities she never imagined. As their second chance at connection unfolds, Victoria introduces Abby to a world of dominance and submission, where trust and consent are as crucial as desire. 
When Victoria makes it clear that the right to call her your "Mistress" must be earned, Abby finds herself drawn deeper into a journey of sensual discovery. Their explicit FF encounters grow more intense as Abby explores her submissive nature under Victoria's experienced guidance. But in this sophisticated lesbian romance, nothing is simple - Victoria has exacting standards, and Abby must prove herself worthy of surrender. 
Filled with passion, tension, and the delicate balance of power exchange, "May I Call You Mistress?" is an unforgettable sapphic erotica audiobook that delves deep into what it truly means to trust, submit, and ultimately love, and is the gateway into the full sensual An Awakening of Desire Series.

    Moors The: The History of the...

    The term Moor is a historical rather than an ethnic name. It is an invention of European Christians for the Islamic inhabitants of Maghreb (North Africa), Andalusia (Spain), Sicily and Malta, and was sometimes use to designate all Muslims. It is derived from Mauri, the Latin name for the Berbers who lived in the Roman province of Mauretania, which ranged across modern Algeria and Morocco. Saracen was another European term used to designate Muslims, though it usually referred to the Arabic peoples of the Middle East and derives from an ancient name for the Arabs, Sarakenoi. The Muslims of those regions no more refer to themselves by that term than those of North Africa call themselves Moors. Maghreb, or al-Maghreb, is a historical term used by Arabic Muslims for the territory of coastal North Africa from Alexandria to the Atlantic Coast. It means “The West” and is used in opposition to Mashrek, “The East,” used to refer to the lands of Islam in the Middle East and north-eastern Africa. The Berbers refer to the region in their own language as Tamazgha. In a limited, precise sense it can also refer to the Kingdom of Morocco, the proper name of which is al-Mamlakah al-Maghribiyyah, “Kingdom of the West.” 
The history of the Spanish Peninsula is closely bound to that of the Moors. The term “Spain” was not in wide use until the region was united by the monarchs of Aragon and Castile, and the Moors called the lands they ruled in the Iberian Peninsula Al-Andalus, traditionally thought to be an Arabic transliteration of Vandal, the Germanic tribe which briefly ruled the region in the early fifth century. The English name Andalusia derives from the Spanish Andalucia, which is still used by Spain to name its southern region. Not surprisingly, three religions attempting to coexist during medieval times resulted in nearly incessant conflicts.

    BIPOLAR DISORDER 
Bipolar Disorder is an often severe, greatly misunderstood, and lifelong mental condition that is in simple terms considered to be an emotional rollercoaster of ups and downs. 
The ups and downs on this roller coaster are called mania and depression. The extreme mood swings and the toll that they take can affect every part of someone’s life. They affect their quality of sleep and their energy levels. They affect their attention and focus while causing the inability to think clearly, and consequently, affect their behavior and judgment. 
This book aims to educate the reader on the basics of Bipolar Disorder, including what the signs and symptoms are, how it’s diagnosed, what the different treatment methods are, and what the outlook for someone with Bipolar Disorder is like. 
A Bipolar diagnosis is not at all a death sentence – with proper treatment as well as support and understanding from loved ones, people with Bipolar Disorder are typically able to live successfully, productive, and happy lives.

    The Story of Psychology - From...

    What is it that makes you "you"? What produces your likes and dislikes, fear and fantasies? What makes you different from other people, and what makes you the same as them? For thousands of years, people have tried to identify the spirit, soul or mind that makes us human. And they have tried to work out how and why it makes our identity. Answers have ranged from the physiological to the psychological - the influence of early experiences and upbringing. 
 
The study of psychology, which emerged from philosophy during the 19th century, addresses such questions as what makes us what we are as individuals; how we learn, know and reason; whether we have any innate knowledge or are born with a mind that is a "blank slate"; whether we have freewill; and what is the balance between nature and nurture in forging the individual. Experiments in psychology often probe the darker recesses of the mind - how cruel will we be? how important is it to fit in? how far can the mind be tricked? 
 
Author Anne Rooney brings together the threads that have made up psychology, from the musings of the Ancient Greeks to the findings of functional MRI scanning. The Story of Psychology is a narrative of how we have tried to approach the very core of our being - of what makes us ourselves.
