Stumbling Toward Serenity: Cards of Passion
Natalie had it all: prestige, power, and a reputation for getting results. But after HR complaints label her a "bully" and her boss issues an ultimatum-take a sabbatical or resign-Natalie plans to regroup. Unfortunately, Drunk Natalie had other plans.
After a wine-fueled night she can't recall, Natalie wakes up to a waiting car and a confirmation email for The Haven. Expecting a luxury resort to wait out her suspension, she arrives on Revelry Island only to find she has accidentally signed herself up for a rustic, Wi-Fi-less retreat focused on "healing." Trapped by her own impulsive booking and eager to prove she can "relax" enough to get her job back, she is forced to endure meditation, chores, and Marcus-the maddeningly calm grief counselor whose quiet kindness and homemade beignets give her room to fall apart. Natalie wants control. She wants her life back. But as the island's rhythm seeps in, she realizes that the version of herself she's fighting to save might be the very thing she needs to resign from.

When sex educator Liv Thornton created a transformative card deck of affirmations to help women embrace their sexuality and integrate that part of themselves into all that they are, she never expected her cards to find their way into so many women's stories.
Like the jeans in The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, those cards inserted themselves into the lives of a modern-day throuple playing with boundaries, a bold heroine in the Regency era, a warrior elf and his sinful liaison in a fantastical world, a befuddled small-town witch trying to keep her secret, a contemporary bookstore owner rewriting her self-image, a cartomancer who can taste desires, and more.
Readers can cross genres and time by reading the standalone stories in this series in any order. Watch for cameo appearances of select characters between stories.
In the real world, the Cards of Passion deck actually exists in physical and digital form. It's called Purple Passion Reflections for Women by Dr. J. Each author used the real deck to inspire the sexual journeys of their heroines and heroes.
Imagine how a deck of sexuality affirmations could alter your life. Follow the women's paths in these stories, then create your own real-world adventure.
