Waltzing. It's been called the Queen of all dances. It has survived for over 100 years. It has gone from too racy for polite company to the ultimate dance of romance.

Dance instructor Jeanette Watts takes you literally step-by-step through the waltz, explaining everything about where to put your hands, where to put your feet, and where to watch for trouble spots. With humor and clear language, she gives simple explanations that will soon have you whirling about the dance floor with variations both old and new And, if you get lost, there are links to instructional videos to help clear up any questions.

For fans of Pamela Kelley and Shana Abe, the tale of a woman who wants more than what society expects of her. Regina was a rags-to-riches bride who seems to have it all: a rich husband, servants, amazing jewels, gorgeous bustle dresses, and more than one successful business. But appearances are deceiving. The marriage is a fraud, the business is trembling on the brink of ruin, the appearance of wealth is an illusion. As Regina wonders how she is going to survive, Thomas Baldwin comes into her life. Handsome, young, and a good listener in a world full of men telling her what to do, it is love at first sight. But Thomas is strictly off-limits. Trying to content herself with friendship, Regina ignores the slow burn. When she finds herself a widow, she forces herself to avoid the temptation Thomas presents, and keep to men her own age. But happily-ever-after could be hers, if only she had the courage to tell the truth...

Alexandria Bellefleur meets Lola Keeley at Jane Austen. Privileged class from NYC meets rising Air Force pilot. But her family didn't approve. Eight years later, can they rekindle an old flame?
