A reluctant lady sleuth finds she’s investigating her own family.1881, Sussex. With a drowned husband—the second love lost—an overbearing family, no longed-for child, and the responsibility of a huge baroque mansion, it’s not surprising Lady Helena Whitcombe is overwhelmed. When attractive, mysterious, French physician Armand Fortier disturbs her first weeks of mourning with his theory of murder, Helena’s reluctant and ineffective attempts at investigation are hardly life-changing—until the resulting revival in her long-abandoned herbalist studies bring her into confrontation with her past and her family’s.Can Lady Helena survive bereavement the second time around? Can she stand up to her six siblings’ assumption of the right to control her new life as a widow? And what role will Fortier—who, as a physician, is a most unsuitable companion for an earl’s daughter—play in her investigations?Every family has its secrets. The Scott-De Quincy family has more than most.

“A bold invitation to start doing the inner work that makes real love possible.”—DR. RAMANI DURVASULA, Ph.D., New York Times Bestselling author of It’s Not You: Understanding and Healing from Narcissistic PeopleSo many of us want deeper connection, yet most of us were never taught how to love well. We grew up surrounded by ideas about love, but very few real examples of what healthy relationships look like in practice. Many of us entered adulthood carrying patterns we didn’t choose, repeating dynamics we didn’t fully understand.But what if the challenges we face in relationships aren’t a reflection of who we are—but of what we were never taught? What if love isn’t something we have to get lucky with, but something we can actually learn?In Real Love Ready, relationship educator and podcast host Robin Ducharme combines insights from years of conversations with world-renowned experts (including Esther Perel, Dr. Terrence Real, Dr. Gabor Maté, and Drs. John and Julie Gottman) with her own deeply personal journey of unlearning, growth, and re-learning.At the heart of the book is a powerful idea: relational literacy, the lifelong practice of learning how to love well. Through both expert wisdom and lived experience, Ducharme shows that love is not a fixed trait or a matter of chance, but a set of skills we can develop over time.In these pages, you’ll learn how to:Unlearn the myths that distort our understanding of loveBuild healthier, more conscious relationships, romantic, familial, and beyondNavigate conflict with curiosity, kindness, and integrityCultivate vulnerability, self-awareness, and emotional maturityExpand your capacity to love wide, to love bravely, and to love wellReal Love Ready is more than a relationship book. It’s a shift in how we understand love itself: not as a fantasy or a fleeting feeling, but as a practice that requires intention, skill, and courage.When we begin to approach love this way, everything changes. You communicate differently. You choose differently. You show up differently. And in that shift, you become Real Love Ready.

Part of the ancient Hindu epic The Mahabharata, The Bhagavad Gita is one of the enduring religious texts of the worldThe Bhagavad Gita is an early poem that recounts the conversation between Arjuna the warrior and his charioteer Krishna, a manifestation of God. In the moments before a great battle, Krishna sets out the important lessons Arjuna must learn to understand his own role in the war he is about to fight. Krishna reveals to Arjuna his true cosmic form and counsels the warrior to act according to his sacred obligations. Ranging from instructions on yoga to moral discussion, the Gita has served for centuries as an everyday, practical guide to living well. Translated with an introduction by Laurie L. Patton
