A killer, a whore and a dead girl. These are three of the people inside Laura Paige, a troubled young woman who butchering her parents a decade earlier. Laura seemed like an easy patient to Dr. Marshall. She had been on her best behavior for years. He never expected Laura's alters were real, or that one of them would turn out to be his own daughter."The People Inside Laura Paige" is the story of Nathan Marshall, a psychiatrist tormented by the loss of his daughter. He finds himself struggling to help Laura Paige, a woman suffering from Demonically Mediated Disassociation. Laura is host to multiple spirits. Dormant for years, Nathan's treatments have revived them, empowering them to move outside of Laura, possessing others and leading them to acts of self mutilation and murder. Soon a psychotic patient mutilates a nurse, a young woman commits suicide in broad daylight, and a retired psychiatrist meets a gory demise on a frozen ice pond. The events seem unconnected to all but Nathan, who has listened to the insane ramblings of Laura's alters--which described the events with chilling accuracy.Nathan's daughter is living inside Laura, but if he were to perform an exorcism he would loose her all over again. Yet he knows the evil spirits inside Laura will kill again if he does not. He enlists the help on an old friend, a priest who claims to have assisted in an exorcism decades earlier. The two set out for a high stakes showdown with the devil, a battle they hope will end in Laura's salvation. The demons who possess Laura have other plans. They are growing in strength every day, and would rather kill than let her go.
Laura Rose White is one of the most gifted riverboat pilots on the Missouri River--her late father taught her and her brother Joe everything he knew, and even named their family's riverboat after her. But in 1867, the idea of a 'skirt' being a captain is unheard of. At least until Joe takes ill and dies in the middle of a trip, leaving Laura grieving and halfway upriver with a full cargo. She successfully takes charge of the crew and expertly guides the Laura Rose back to St. Louis. But it seems her troubles are just beginning. Laura learns Joe had taken out a loan, and if she fails to repay it, she could lose the boat that is not only her livelihood, but also her home. The only way to save it is to convince the men in charge she's capable of being a captain and pilot, and they have a few nearly insurmountable conditions. She must secure a full cargo (who would trust their wares to a woman?), she must find a chaperone (she is an unmarried lady, after all), she must get to Fort Benton and back in less time than it would take most male pilots, and she must get a licensed pilot to agree to oversee her. The only man she can find for that job is her brother's disreputable friend Finn MacKnight. She's loath to ask him - though he's as good a pilot as she is, he has a terrible reputation. But a woman alone in the world will do what she must to survive, and Laura may just gain far more than she ever expected on this historic trip.
Set against a backdrop of poverty, Kisses for Laura takes us to a time in America
On November 3, 1870, on a San Francisco ferry, Laura Fair shot a bullet into the heart of her married lover, A. P. Crittenden. Throughout her two murder trials, Fair's lawyers, supported by expert testimony from physicians, claimed that the shooting was the result of temporary insanity caused by a severely painful menstrual cycle. The first jury disregarded such testimony, choosing instead to focus on Fair's disreputable character. In the second trial, however, an effective defense built on contemporary medical beliefs and gendered stereotypes led to a verdict that shocked Americans across the country. In this rousing history, Carole Haber probes changing ideas about morality and immorality, masculinity and femininity, love and marriage, health and disease, and mental illness to show that all these concepts were reinvented in the Victorian West.Haber's book examines the era's most controversial issues, including suffrage, the gendered courts, women's physiology, and free love. This notorious story enriches our understanding of Victorian society, opening the door to a discussion about the ways in which reputation, especially female reputation, is shaped.

Hot lesbian BDSM erotica A graphic novelette of domination and submission. My need to feel her flame was almost as strong as my desire to know her love. Sometimes I wondered which drove me more. Sassy submissive Laura needs a few more "lessons" before she can learn to trust again, as her dominant lesbian lover helps her to discover that what she wants - or thinks she wants - is not necessarily what she truly needs. Fighting to maintain control over both her passion and her independence teaches Laura to look deeper at who she really is. As she discovers her true self, she grows more comfortable with her submission and her strength in all areas of her life. Her confidence and ability to accept what makes her truly happy has built with each lesson so far (recounted in the first volume of Lessons for Laura); and what she learns next will require the inner strength and commitment she and her Master both know burns just below the surface.

"What is the matter with you? We do not need his money " She stood behind him; her hands on her hips."It's not about the money."His voice was calm. He could have told her what day of the week it was with the same level of excitement."Then why? Why must you go back and try to get yourself killed? You have responsibilities here "Sam stopped brushing and seemed ready to turn and face her. He then thought better and did not. He returned to brushing the horse."Samuel, you turn around and face me You tell me why I have to get ready to mourn a second man in my life. You tell me what I'm supposed to tell our children "His turn was powerful and deliberate; he faced her, "Our children, Laura? It wasn't that long ago you told me in no uncertain terms they were your children and I was a bad influence. You share them with me only when it suits you. They are our children if you think you can use them to your advantage.""Is that why you're doing this? To punish me for what I said?""Laura, please. Do you really think that little of me? I gave the man my word. I promised him I would avenge him if this happened.""You promised? You promised? You also promised my husband you would look after us. I know Wiggins was your friend, but he is cold and dead in the ground. There is nothing you can do that will change that."Sam's' brows furrowed, "And how is that different from William, your husband? Is he not also cold and dead in the ground?"Laura stepped forward and took his free hand. She placed his hand on her chest, between her breasts, "Does this feel like it's cold and dead? Do you not feel the love that surges through my body with every beat of my heart? Tell me what I have to do to keep you here? What must I do to change your mind?"Sam Moses was in a quandary, a crossroads.
