Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seduction, Surrender, and Transformation demonstrates how interpersonal psychoanalysis obliges analysts to engage their patients with genuine emotional responsiveness, so that not only the patient but the analyst too is open to ongoing transformation through the analytic experience. In so doing, the analyst moves from the position of an "interpreting observer" to that of an "active participant and facilitator" whose affective communications enable the patient to acquire basic self-trust along with self-knowledge. Drawing on the current literature on affect, Maroda argues that psychological change occurs through affect-laden interpersonal processes. Given that most patients in psychotherapy have problems with affect management, the completing of cycles of affective communication between therapist and patient becomes a vitally important aspect of the therapeutic enterprise. Through emotionally open responses to their patients and careful use of patient-prompted self-disclosures, analysts can facilitate affect regulation responsibly and constructively, with the emphasis always remaining on the patients' experience. Moments of mutual surrender - the honest emotional giving over of patient to analyst and analyst to patient - epitomize the emotionally intense interpersonal experiences that lead to enduring intrapsychic change. Maroda's work is profoundly personal. She does not hesitate to share with the reader how her own personality affects her thinking and her work. Indeed, she believes her theoretical and clinical preferences are emblematic of the way in which the analyst's subjectivity necessarily shapes theory choice and practice preferences in general. Seduction, Surrender, and Transfomation is not only a powerful brief for emotional honesty in the analytic relationship but also a model of the personal openness that, according to Maroda, psychoanalysis demands of all its practitioners.

Her luscious curves capture his attention in a way that he never expected. It also doesn’t hurt that she’s his mate. Now he just has to get her to understand what that means because there is just one huge problem. Serafine doesn’t believe shifters exist… Night of Seduction The moment Jacques Astier laid eyes on Ines, he knew she was the one for him. So, he’s surprised when she walks into the bar he frequents. Unfortunately, he can’t seem to get her to believe that he doesn’t see her a charity case. His wolf makes it known that it wants her by any means necessary. Now he has to convince Ines that not only is he attracted to her, but she’s his mate. Marked Mathieu Pascal is furious when he has to rescue his mate, Catarina from an unprovoked attack by a female shifter. She hadn’t known shifters existed and a vicious attack isn’t the way he wanted her to find out. Carrying her off to his home, he tends to her wounds and tries to show his mate that not all shifters are malicious. But just as things seem to be moving forward between them, the past rears its ugly head, threatening to tear apart the bond growing between them. Only Mine Armand Quinones has enough stress in his life. His mother is hounding him to marry, his father wants him to take over as head of the family business. All he wants is to enjoy life with a little less pressure. After barely escaping another arranged date his mother considers as a "suitable" mate, he hides out at his favorite hangout. Except he finds himself fascinated by a curvy bombshell, and suddenly both he and his wolf are pacing like wild animals. But now that Armand’s wolf has decided she's the woman he needs, he has to convince her that what she believes isn't true at all. That size isn't what rules the heart. And beauty really is in the eye of the beholder. In the Deep Vincent Gallaud has been battling his instincts from the moment he spotted Delia, fighting to keep his distance from his shapely mate. He has his own reasons and uncertainties when it comes to Delia. But you can only escape destiny for so long…

Book excerpt: ***Author Note*** This book was a part of The Royal Court Anthology. The ending has been extended but there are no significant changes to the storyline. Ghislaine Lavolier is just an accountant living a simple life, which is why she is surprised to find an unexpected package on her desk one day – a package with a mask, dress and an invitation to a distinguished soiree. At first, she is hesitant to accept the invitation, but figuring she has nothing to lose, she goes, only to find herself swept off her feet by a flamboyant prince into a world of extravagance and bliss beyond her wildest dreams. Until she finds out who he is… With one glimpse, everything Philippe Arnaud has ever known in his long life is irrevocably changed. Humans and shifters don’t mix. Yet, his bear isn’t listening. Ghislaine is his mate. He feels it in his blood, in his soul—but convincing her is another matter. She finds him obnoxious and annoying, but he knows a woman’s interest when he smells it. And Ghislaine smells like one word: mine.

Enter the treacherous and sexy world of a generations old family of hunters who fight the many evils that abound in Louisiana and find love along the way. Wild Fever Handsome, resilient Vincent Chiasson takes his job as hunter to supernatural beings in the bayous seriously. When an unknown creature begins killing women the Chiasson family has contact with, Vincent knows this has something to do with his parents’ deaths years earlier. To make matters worse, the one woman he’s yearned to call his own has returned – and is targeted by the beast. He’ll have to face his past – and confront his future – to save Olivia… Wild Dream Gorgeous, loyal Lincoln Chiasson always has his brothers’ backs, and when his cousin from New Orleans needs his help after being cursed by a Voodoo priestess, he’s among the first to offer assistance. Until he sets eyes on Ava. After that, protecting her becomes more important than anything. Or anyone. But can he win her trust – and her love – while keeping her safe from his family?

Wild Flame Christian Chiasson dreamed of finding his soul mate – until the night his parents died. His father’s bellow of grief that reverberated through the bayou has haunted Christian ever since. To keep his heart safe, Christian is content to let his brothers find romance and continue the family line. Although when Christian crosses paths with a beautiful and brave woman being hunted by minions of the Demon of Souls, he’s drawn to her in a way that cannot be explained. He suddenly finds that he would walk through the fires of Hell if it means she could live. Now that he’s found her, Christian can’t imagine life without her. Wild Rapture Sheriff Marshall Ducet hasn’t been able to escape the paranormal. Nor can he forget the alluring, Riley. From the moment he set eyes on her, he felt a connection, so when Riley goes missing, he returns to his home town of New Orleans to search for her. When he finally finds Riley, he vows to do everything in his power to bring her back to herself, her family—and him. But Delphine is a powerful foe, and even with the help of Riley’s brothers, cousins, and their allies, victory is not guaranteed. But one thing is certain, Marshall will do anything to have Riley by his side.
