SHE GOT WHAT SHE WANTED Lisette Keller was determined to leave and pursue her dream of opening a millinery shop in Chicago--but first she had to find a way to get there! If she could persuade handsome rancher Gil McLoughlin to hire her as a cook on his cattle drive to Abilene, she'd be well on her way, and she'd arrive with money in her pockets to boot! But Lisette hadn't counted on quivering at Gil's first fiery touch or craving the taste of his lips on hers. Whatever her future might hold, Lisette knew she must surrender to the sudden passion that coursed through her whenever Gil gazed into her eyes, savor his ardent caresses, and learn love's deepest secrets in his bold rapturous embrace... all the way to Kansas! HE FOUND WHAT HE NEEDED When a feisty blond minx applied for the job of cook on the long hot trail drive from Texas to Abilene, Gil McLoughlin was tempted--and not because of Gisette's skills over a cookfire. But how could he keep his mind on his longhorns with the curvaceous beauty close by? Those baby-blue eyes would turn a monk to sin, and he was no monk! One kiss from Lisette's pouty, red lips and Gil knew he had to have her. The long hard Chisholm Trail lay ahead, with many a starry night beneath the Texas sky. He'd explore every inch of her velvety softness, coax her into his arms with fiery caresses, then carry her over the threshold of passion in the rapturous heat of his embrace.

The essence of true love is in the yearning not in the consummation. This literary analysis of the Song of Songs employs the methods of New Criticism. Each analysis aims to uncover the messages conveyed by the poems and the inner world of the characters. The analysis brings to the fore the highly sophisticated and the original creativity of the love poetry of the Song of Songs. In the introduction, the question is posed as to whether the Song of Songs is an anthology or one literary whole. After discussing the strengths and weakness of the various approaches, the author proposes a novel structure for the Book predicated on the various genres of the love poems. Assis discerns poems of physical description, poems of adoration, and poems of yearning. In addition, he discerns what he takes to be a previously unrecognized genre, poems of rendezvous - a new structure which is based on a psychological understanding of passionate love is now discovered. One of the undisputed dominant features of passionate love is the longing for union with the beloved. Based on this premise, the book is divided into five sections, each of which ends with an attempt to unite or in a union. The structure of the book reflects an emotional and inner development in the psyche of the lovers and in the relationship between them. Throughout the book the interrelationships between the various genres of the love poems, and the development of the characters is spelled out
