The story of Samson and Delilah in Judges 16 has been studied and retold over the centuries by biblical interpreters, artists, musicians, filmmakers and writers. Within these scholarly and cultural retellings, Delilah is frequently fashioned as the quintessential femme fatale — the shamelessly seductive ‘fatal woman’ whose sexual treachery ultimately leads to Samson’s downfall. Yet these ubiquitous portrayals of Delilah as femme fatale tend to eclipse the many other viable readings of her character that lie, underexplored, within the ambiguity-laden narrative of Judges 16 — interpretations that offer alternative and more sympathetic portrayals of her biblical persona. In Reimagining Delilah’s Afterlives as Femme Fatale, Caroline Blyth guides readers through an in-depth exploration of Delilah’s afterlives as femme fatale in both biblical interpretation and popular culture, tracing the social and historical factors that may have inspired them. She then considers alternative afterlives for Delilah’s character, using as inspiration both the Judges 16 narrative and a number of cultural texts which deconstruct traditional understandings of the femme fatale, thereby inviting readers to view this iconic biblical character in new and fascinating lights.

An escaped lunatic murders two prostitutes at Lovland Lodge. Delilah and Annabelle have inherited the raggedy old lodge, and business is dead. They don't have the money for repairs, much less for the balloon payment, soon due, to pay off their fat mortgage. They face foreclosure. The recession has cost Sam his job. His two fishing buddies, wounded in Iraq, try to convince him he should start a bed and breakfast. He says they're crazy. When the lodge becomes Samson and Delilah's Haunted Bed and Breakfast, its new name pulls in gobs of guests. The weird lights and noises at night give fun to everybody, believers and skeptics alike, even if they're not too sure of what's going on. They all pitch in to help solve the mystery. A more realistic problem smacks them: Annabelle's dirty rotten ex-husband, Percy. She has kicked him out and filed for divorce, but he keeps trying to steal the property. He kidnaps her and piles a $100,000 ransom on top of the $280,000 mortgage payment.

Leon Tseda, a Navajo whose homeland serves as a hidden gathering place for the Guardians, vows to bring Delilah to safety, thwarting thugs sent to capture her and the valuable scroll she guards. Opening in Paris, the story whisks the pair in a life-and-death chase across France to Nice and Monte Carlo on the breathtaking C te d'Azur.

Their journey is fraught with danger, excitement and steamy, mature romance. Will it lead to love - if they live long enough? The series so far: There are seven Guardians, each possessing a psychic gift and a precious scroll containing a secret prophecy handed down from ancient Irish seers. Not to be revealed until mankind is ready to listen, the prophesies are in danger of being seized by vicious "Hellhounds" who want to use them for their own evil ends. Rescuing Lara (Book 1), winner in the 2015 Paranormal Romance Guild Reviewers Choice Awards, is set in Ireland and Texas.

Lethal villains, hot romance and a few surprises make this a wild ride. Decoding Michaela (Book 2) features a heroine who can read minds. Stunned by news that her revered leader, the High Guardian, has been murdered, Michaela Peterson is attracted to Dev Medina, the handsome messenger, but fears he may be out to steal the scroll she guards. Can Dev win her trust and unlock her heart before the Hellhounds capture her? Capturing Gabriel (Book 3) is set in Colombia. Gabriel Valdez refuses to believe the feisty Navajo beauty who tracks him down with a message to meet the other Guardians in the United States. Instead, he takes her prisoner. Josie Tseda doesn't count on falling for him. Gabriel doesn't intend to trust her with his secrets or his love, but the heart has a mind of its own. Touching Charlotte (Book 4) Introduces Charlotte Dixon, an empathic Guardian, and Tristan Jameson, an ex-NYC cop burdened by grief.
