{"product_id":"2940033170333","title":"Intimate Journeys","description":"\u003cp\u003eEvery journey through life is an intimate journey simply because it is someone’s personal journey. Sometimes the journey is like being alone in a small boat at the mercy of wild ocean currents, and sometimes the journey is like being part of a crew in a strong ship with billowing, wind-filled sails. The most intimate journeys, though they are polar opposites, involve the unparalleled pleasures of sex and the inevitable unknown of death. Both are an experience unlike anything else; one is sought by everyone, while the other is avoided by everyone – for as long as they can. Sometimes these polar opposites complement each other.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHowever, alone or with a companion(s), ultimately all journeys through life are intimate in nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRose Cliffs:\u003cbr\u003eArchaeologists accidentally set free survivors of an ancient race, who require sexual sacrifices to bring back more of their kind.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Christmas Queen:\u003cbr\u003eA young man returning home for Christmas encounters a legendary succubus who wants him for her lover.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. 55 Cherry Apple Court:\u003cbr\u003eBelieve it or not, sometimes within a gated community there are worse things than a home owners association.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Whisper of Ereshkigal:\u003cbr\u003eAn immortal Sumerian in love with a human woman is finally discovered by pursuing goddesses determined to take him to the underworld.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eImnachar:\u003cbr\u003eA frustrated incubus has a young woman cornered in a small country church, and he attempts to entice her to leave her sanctuary.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGalleria Millennia:\u003cbr\u003eAn unusual group of female artist-collectors descend on a city at the edge of the Rocky Mountains before Y2K.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Samar Café:\u003cbr\u003eOn the eve of joining his combat ship during an interstellar war, a young sailor spends the night with a prostitute, with surprising results.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA Harsh Lesson:\u003cbr\u003eA female military officer dons a haunted Waffen SS jacket and attends a costume party, where she intends to kill a Senator.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAztec Ridge:\u003cbr\u003eAn Aztec goddess claims a lover from the same family line every 52 years, and now it is time for her to take a new lover.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDawn at Khabari Crossing:\u003cbr\u003eAs the US combat role in Iraq ends, a middle-aged soldier faces the uncertainty of demobilization and returning to Ground Zero of the Great Recession.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBetween Flagstaff and Gallup:\u003cbr\u003eThey say curiosity killed the cat, but what happens if it didn’t, and the cat is still alive?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Ledger:\u003cbr\u003eA married sutler, unhappily retired and in ill health, remembers the example of the love of a young 7th Cavalry trooper for an Irish laundress.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrandpa’s Bon Qui Qui:\u003cbr\u003eWhile deployed to Afghanistan, an older soldier in a May\/December relationship must decide if the young woman really loves him, and if he really loves her.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Melange Books, LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47105615397104,"sku":"2940033170333","price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940033170333_p0.jpg?v=1763657653","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940033170333","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
