By the end of the fifteenth century, Cassandra Fedele (1465-1558), a learned middle-class woman of Venice, was arguably the most famous woman writer and scholar in Europe. A cultural icon in her own time, she regularly corresponded with the king of France, lords of Milan and Naples, the Borgia pope Alexander VI, and even maintained a ten-year epistolary exchange with Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand of Spain that resulted in an invitation for her to join their court. Fedele's letters reveal the central, mediating role she occupied in a community of scholars otherwise inaccessible to women. Her unique admittance into this community is also highlighted by her presence as the first independent woman writer in Italy to speak publicly and, more importantly, the first to address philosophical, political, and moral issues in her own voice. Her three public orations and almost all of her letters, translated into English, are presented here for the first time.

Guard Me: A Mafia Romance

By: Cassandra Hallman

She was a tiny little lamb that claimed my heart with one fearful look. I was her captor, the man responsible for breaking her, for preparing her for auction. She was taken, plucked right off the street and brought to me to be sold at the next auction.Rescuing her from my men was never part of the deal, and neither was bringing her up to my room. Yet, night after night I did this, refusing to give up the way she made me feel. When I'm with her I feel less like a monster. I can remember the man I used to be before the mob got to me, before all the bad tainted my soul. But wanting her is forbidden, and keeping her unthinkable. If they find out what I'm doing they'll kill both of us. And still... I want to save her. I want to love her. I was to cherish her. When the time comes will I be able to let her go? Or will I risk both our lives for a love that I may not deserve? **This is book four in the series but it can be read as a complete standalone. It is a full length novel (85k+ words) that contains NO-CLIFFHANGERS, NO CHEATING, and has a HEA. It is a dark mafia/crime romance and contains subject matter not suitable for all readers. **

The Vow

A Student-Teacher Romance

By: Cassandra Hallman,J. L. Beck

We're a match made in heaven but forbidden as sin."After tragedy struck, I vowed never to fall in love again. For the last ten years, I kept that promise, never staying with a woman longer than it took to screw them. Then she walked in... Back then she was nothing but a little girl, but now she's all grown up, with curves, and a smile that reminds me of everything I've spent the last ten years trying to forget. My attraction to her is instant, and wrong, on so many levels. I'll do anything I can, even make her hate me if I have too, to stop it. She's here to study, and I'm the newly appointed Dean. I shouldn't be tempted by a student, especially one who's ten years younger than me. And I definitely shouldn't be developing feelings for her. But I am... Because as badly as I don't want to admit it Lily might just be the one person to make me fall in love again. That is if I can let go of the hold her dead sister's memory has on my heart first.**This is book four in the North Woods University Series. It can be read as a complete standalone and contains NO cliffhanger, NO cheating, and a HEA. Please be advised this series contains material not suitable for all readers. This is NOT a YA series.**
