Hair done. Nails too. Make-up flawless. Indigo Clark is an accomplished, independent woman. Now she wants a partner to share her fabulous life. Standing on the sidelines of her sister’s third baby shower with her thirtieth birthday around the corner, Indigo is feeling the pressure about one thing she hasn’t yet mastered: a healthy, long-term relationship. As owner of Houston’s hottest destination for luxury shoes and accessories, Indigo excels at finding clients the perfect shoe, but she's having a hard time finding a partner who is her perfect fit. So she approaches her lackluster dating life the same way she does any challenge—with determination—and books her social calendar full of potential suitors. She needs a man who can handle her busy life, get along with her big and boisterous family, and mesh with her tight-knit friends, including Nate, her childhood bestie. While one guy is great on paper, and another sets off sparks, neither are Mr. Right. And her drive to find him begins to interfere with the things and people she values most. Can Indigo let go of past hurts and unrealistic expectations and finally admit to herself that her perfect man has been in front of her the whole time?

One Time

ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 170
Book Description
Evie The only way I can try to escape the cocky know-it-all guest at the B&B is to give in and work at the summer camp out of town. Nothing like some outdoor fun babysitting whiny preteens and swatting mosquitoes. Yeah, right. Fleeing might have worked if he didn’t decide to follow me there. Now I’m trapped with a bad boy daredevil for two weeks, and it seems I’ve met my match. Calling his bluff is a mistake I’ll never repeat, but it’s not easy resisting him, especially with the thrilling way we taunt each other in this game of push-and-pull. Each time I remind myself to be rational and stick to my goals for life, he ups the challenge and has me eager for more of his brand of fun. It doesn’t matter if he can turn obstacle courses and deterring bears into adventures, there’s no way I can accept anything more than one time of fun. Or is there? Zeke Something about Evie has pulled me in from the moment we met, but now that we’re together at camp, I’m stuck, struggling to win her over. There’s no doubt we’re attracted to each other, yet, she still holds back on giving me a real chance. She wants something long-lasting and permanent, but I don’t have any hope when she avoids me at every turn. Between ax-throwing contests and designing friendship bracelets with illicit messages, Evie proves she’s into me but not the idea of us. How else can I make my point? What will it take for her to risk her heart and consider me as more than just a source of some naughty fun in the woods?

Postfeminist Discourse in Shakespeare’s The Tempest and Warner’s Indigo
Author: Natali Boğosyan
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1443849049
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 380
Book Description
A scrupulous study of Shakespeare’s The Tempest and its most comprehensive rewriting Indigo, or Mapping the Waters by Marina Warner. Taking as its focus representations of femininity and the other, the study scrutinises the various implications of three concepts: ambivalence, liminality and plurality in terms of their relevance to the conjunctures of postfeminism and post-colonialism, proposing that postfeminist discourse is in search of a new ethics and perspective that mainly champion these three terms through the employment of intertextuality as a strategy. The study is careful to carry out a comparative analysis of the works in terms of both poetics and politics. Informed by interdisciplinarity, the study explores how The Tempest destabilises itself, inviting a deconstructionist reading in terms of its relation to patriarchal and colonial dynamics ingrained in the play and how Indigo takes its substantial space among other rewritings of The Tempest by presenting new and imaginative ways of seeing the female and feminised figures in the play.
