A man and woman meet.
They talk.
They talk a little longer.
They share an experience -- perhaps an adventure.
Every great romance tells of the events that conspire to bring a man and woman together for the first time -- and forever. And when it finally happens, it's the delicious magic that embraces their whole story.
But sometimes, you want to skip the meal, pop a bonbon in your mouth, and get that great feeling right away. Maybe you're not in the mood to commit to a full-length novel to experience that special moment.
In IT STARTED LIKE THIS, you've found a half-dozen stories that don't mess around. Each distills to its essence the drama and comedy of that first -- sometimes unexpected -- encounter when the world begins to change for a man and a woman:
-- THE POODLE AND THE PUG: Man's best friends introduce a society lady and a career tough guy.
-- THE MOM AND THE MAN: A teenager connives to get her single mom to investigate their intriguing new neighbor.
-- THE PLEDGE AND THE PI: A shy fraternity pledge takes an upperclass sorority sister on an impromptu adventure of a lifetime.
-- THE DONOR AND THE DATE: A woman doesn't want a date -- until she has the date she didn't want.
-- THE GENIUS AND THE GYMSTAR: A love-struck computer jock plots an unlikely course to meet his unsuspecting crush.
-- THE SINGER AND THE STEW: A quiet man solves a flight attendant's noisy problem.
Couples meeting, talking, falling, with an unexpected escapade along the way. Encounters between smart and savvy lovers-to-be that put you right in the middle of that awkward first dance, a man and a woman not knowing quite where to put their feet but holding on anyway.
These are stories of beginnings. You won't want them to end.

A new Christmas classic --
It is the greatest story.
It is the greatest love.
It is the greatest night.
It is THE GREATEST NOEL.
In this novella, RAVEN EASTON has vividly reimagined the day and night of the birth of Jesus Christ. The events unfold through the story of Sandar the Builder, a prominent citizen of Nazareth, who yearns for a destiny that frees him from the hard brown land of Israel. Yet while Sandar dreams of release from the shackles of the world, he is also drawn to seek a lifelong love like any other man.
His journey to Jerusalem takes a dramatic turn when he must protect a poor couple he encounters on the road. They insist that they must reach Bethlehem that very night, before the woman -- an enigmatic and strangely wise girl named Mary -- gives birth to her first child.
THE GREATEST NOEL tells the whirlwind story of that first Christmas:
You will be greeting all the familiar Christmas characters, not as barely-sketched figures on a greeting card, but as fully-human actors caught up in a dramatic storm of miracles swirling around the birth of the Christ child.
You will be rooting for Sandar in his pursuit of the difficult but brilliant and beautiful Susannah.
You will relive the terror and triumph of Jesus's first hours among us.
You will be looking over Sandar's shoulder as his encounter with the infant Jesus opens his road to victory over the bonds of the earth and his embrace of an unexpected and glorious destiny.
And you will not be ready for the surprise RAVEN EASTON has in store for you as THE GREATEST NOEL reaches its miraculous conclusion.
The entire Christmas story is here, as you have always loved it in Matthew and Luke. But you have never heard it told with the warmth, excitement, and humanity of THE GREATEST NOEL.

“The only thing I love more than love is romance.” – Raven Easton
RAVEN EASTON has been a secretary, a saloon singer, a lawyer, a fry cook, a recording artist, a bakery worker, a legal educator, a warehouse teamster, a radio parodist, and a senior executive with a New York Stock Exchange company.
When Rome transgresses upon his father's domain that lays between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, Pacorus, a prince of the Parthian Empire, is sent to exact revenge. After a string of victories Pacorus and his men are captured in Cappadocia, clapped in chains and sent to Italy to live out the rest of their days as slaves. But fate intervenes and Pacorus and his companions are saved from a living hell by a renegade gladiator named Spartacus. In gratitude, Pacorus agrees to help Spartacus build his army as Rome musters its legions to crush the slave uprising. And so begins an epic adventure of glory and savagery played out across the length and breadth of Italy, as Spartacus defeats the armies of Rome and Pacorus leads his horsemen to victory after victory. But will Pacorous and the slave army escape from Italy, and will he win the love of the fierce and proud Gallia before the most powerful man in Rome, Marcus Licinius Crassus, takes the field against Spartacus?
A map of the Parthian Empire at the time of Pacorus (the 1st Century BC) can be found on the maps page of my website: www.peterdarman.com
"Darman has researched this novel extremely well, as one would expect with his military non-fiction background. This detail is meshed with great story telling which flows along with great gusto. Less for the fact that this book is about a Parthian rather than a Roman, I would describe it as a ‘Roman Sharpe’. Darman’s style is similar to and as good as Bernard Cornwell’s, one of my favourite authors."

Edith Carow, star pupil at Miss Comstock’s School for Young Ladies, has a lot to write about in her diary—her father’s a drunk, no one in her family but her can manage a budget, and she’s in love with her best friend’s brother, Theo Roosevelt.
