The philosophy of Plato embraces much more than metaphysics; his primary concern was with the question of how man should conduct himself as he ought, and metaphysics was studied for the sake of this. Yet for most readers 'Plato' suggests the Theory of Ideas, probably disguised behind some such popular concept as 'platonic' love. Mr Raven sets out to explain, to the ordinary reader, how this central theory grew in Plato's mind and out of his experience, and what were its eventual implications. He has a gift for the clear exposition of concepts that are by no means easy. This 1965 book is intended primarily for the serious student of philosophy (who needs no Greek to read it) and will also appeal to anyone interested in human thought and its development.

The tension is subtle but magnetic. Two people circling each other without knowing they come from opposite worlds. Readers sense this peace won't last.

Hayden Carter is a powerful CEO with a reputation for never staying—and never caring. When Zea Bayley, a self-made jewelry mogul, rejects him, she becomes the only woman he can't forget. A chance encounter turns into a one-night mistake, then a no-strings arrangement that slowly blurs into something dangerous. Just as Zea prepares to admit her feelings, she discovers Hayden with another woman, forcing them to confront betrayal, pride, and jealousy. When Hayden chooses Zea and walks away from his playboy past, love becomes complicated by obsession, possessiveness, and women who refuse to let him go. What began as casual desire turns into a battle for trust, control, and a love neither of them planned to fall into.

The woman he betrayed no longer exists—only the one his betrayal created."e;
