Book Description
Christmas is a time of joy, hope, and wonder...until the ultimate challenge threatens one of Reunion Gap’s favorite couples. Note to the reader: As a reader, I often wonder about the before and afterof certain characters. As a writer, I’m able to act on that wondering if I’ve created those characters. (One of the guilty pleasures of the profession!) Nicki and Jameson Price are two people who made me curious because they’re such a perfect couple. Perfect for how long? What would happen when adversity struck? Would they survive? Of course, I had to “test” them. Couples Like Usis told in two parts: Part One: Before, which was previously Christmas in Reunion Gapand Part Two: Three and a half years later. Part One: Before Nicki Gallagher doesn’t believe in Christmas, small towns, or relationships that aren’t about business. She’s a city girl with big dreams that include prestige and money—and lots of both. But when a forced sabbatical from her job lands her in Reunion Gap during the Christmas holidays, will she open her eyes and her heart to what she’s been missing? Jameson Price left city life behind to regain his focus on what really mattered in life—family and relationships. Now he’s back in Reunion Gap where the pace is slower and life is less complicated. Just the way he likes it. Until Jameson meets Nicki Gallagher and everything gets complicated. Part Two: Three and a half years later Nicki and Jameson Price are the perfect couple: married, in love, with two children and solid careers. They have their whole future planned out, one they will share side by side. When Jameson accepts a month-long consulting job two thousand miles away, he’s doing it to help his family and solidify their future. It’s only a month. What could possibly go wrong?Well… Two-thousand-mile separations are never good, but add an ex-girlfriend bent on removing the ex from her status and a wife who finds out about it? It doesn’t matter how much the husband isn’t interested in the ex, he’s in trouble. Follow this couple as they navigate the rockiest part of their relationship, questioning each other, their future, and whether they’ll ever find their way back to perfect. Reunion Gap series: Book One: Strangers Like Us Book Two: Liars Like Us Book Three: Lovers Like Us Book Four: Couples Like Us Book Five: Guilty Like Us Bonus: Included in this ebook is an excerpt from Guilty Like Us, the next book in the series. She was the last person he wanted to fall for, but now she’s the only one he wants.

Book Description
He’s not who he says he is…but neither is she Neal Alexander has a reputation as a heartbreaker and a troublemaker who uses his trust fund, good looks, and come-closer glances to get what he wants. Except that’s not who he is—not anymore. He’s found success and purpose in the business world but prefers to let everyone, including his family, believe he’s still the reckless, self-absorbed playboy he used to be. Why share the truth and open himself up to judgment, criticism, and “never good enough”? Life is easier and less complicated this way, but living a lie has its own brand of torment. That torment comes straight at him when Rachel Reese, a regretful high school memory he wishes he could forget, lands in the same city. Rachel just wants to make her own choices and follow her passion for interior design. She’s not giving up on her career dream, even if she’s made a few missteps along the way. Wrong friends, lousy boyfriends, dead-end jobs. But this time, in this city, it’s going to be different, and if she has to fabricate a bit for a career opportunity, well, is that so horrible? Nothing is going to derail her, especially not a smooth-talking disaster from her past like Neal Alexander. It’s going to be difficult to keep the lies straight, the truth hidden, and the emotions from flaring, especially when the attraction between Neal and Rachel is so unwelcome. Can they trust each other enough to open up and share their true selves for a chance at real happiness? BONUS: Included in this e-book is an Excerpt from Pulling Home, That Second Chance series, Book Two. They promised to love one another forever, but tragedy tore them apart. Now, destiny may just bring them back together.

Dissent with Love
Author: Parul Bhandari
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1040112749
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 186
Book Description
This book presents a unique rendering of love in South Asia by reading love through the specific lens of dissent. It presents multiple articulations of dissenting love in contemporary South Asia including negotiations with parents to assert choice of partner, migration, elopement, live-in relationships, singlehood, ‘new’ ideas of masculinities, and embracing diverse sexual identities. It studies these forms of dissent in the context of changing legal discourses, impact of media in everyday life, and transforming social attitudes. As such, this book is the first of its kind to analyse the myriad ways in which love and dissent constitute each other shaping the social, political, and cultural mores and movements of South Asia. The contributions are based on ethnographic research cutting across diverse religious, ethnic, and gender and sexual identities of South Asia. Part of the Social Movements and Transformative Dissent series, this book will be of interest to students and researchers of sociology, anthropology, history, geography, political science, gender studies, and media studies. It will also appeal to academics who study South Asia with a special focus on love, intimacy, sexuality, marriage, migration, history, politics and media.

Together

Publisher: Thomas Nelson
ISBN: 071809591X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 209
Book Description
Serving in numerous ministry capacities together, Geoff and Sherry Surratt have valuable lessons and observations to pass along to couples seeking to serve in ministry together. Marriage is hard. Learning to do life with another human being presents unanticipated challenges that take determined, focused, humbling effort to work through. Ministry is hard. Much like marriage, it's full of unanticipated challenges, requires a great deal of selflessness, and often comes with little reward. Marriage and ministry together? It’s a unique calling, yet couples who enter into it seldom receive adequate preparation, training, or even warning! Geoff and Sherry Surratt have been at both marriage and ministry together for over 30 years and have seen the highs, lows, and everything in between—they've managed to figure out a way to make it all work together. But the Surratts aren't the Facebook ministry couple with perfect hair, perfect skin, and perfect children. In fact, Together isn't a how-to-guide to create the model marriage-in-ministry. It's more like coffee with friends who've been where you are going and have learned some valuable lessons that may help you find your way, together.
