How to Choose a Partner
Choosing a romantic partner is one of contemporary life's biggest adventures. But other aspects of modern living – being globally more mobile, a fall in religious belief, social liberalization and more job opportunities (but longer working hours) – mean meeting a mate has rarely been so challenging, and rarely so important. In How to Choose a Partner , Susan Quilliam guides us through the process of finding the right partner for us as individuals. The real challenge is that we grow. Drawing upon rich cultural material, psychology and her background in relationship therapy, Susan presents partner choice as a self-development journey, driving us to learn more about ourselves, about other people, about life and the way we want to live.
The First Family of Texas
Sold out. The First family has owned the Number One Ranch in West Texas since the days of the Republic. Until now. Adam First’s bitter, alcoholic daughter has just sold controlling interest in the vast spread to a Houston bank. They’re dispatching someone to determine if he should continue to manage the multimillion-dollar enterprise. Sheila Malone knows the heartbreak of losing loved ones and property. She also realizes she has to please the bank executive who hired her, if her fledgling consultancy firm is to stay in business. Helping Adam save his ranch might make up for past failings, but will he let her? Will the bank let her? What neither the temperamental rancher nor the opinionated efficiency expert have anticipated is the emotional involvement they’ve awakened in each other, responses that might cost both of them dearly. It all comes down to trust, but trust doesn’t come easily when you’ve been betrayed.

Wide Open
John Warren Wells introduces you to men and women who are trying every possible kind of sexual combination to make marriage work in bold new ways. Threesomes. Open adultery. Swapping. Group marriage. And a hundred variants of every possible sexual experiment within the marital relationship, surpassing the most erotic fiction. Here's a sampling of what they have to say: "Once you've taken the first big step of having sex with another couple, it's easy to start doing a lot of other things society regards as perverted." --a swinging husband "I tend to get into trios a lot. I don't know why, exactly. It happens. Being bi probably has something to do with it." --a girl member of a threesome "He was a man I had slept with a couple of times, and I thought of just starting an affair with him and not letting him know I was getting pregnant, but I rejected that. ...So I went to him and told him what I wanted." --an unmarried mother (by choice) These are some of the men and women who candidly tell their stories in-- WIDE OPEN: THE NEW MARRIAGE
