Book Description
The Crown Prince of Bahrmia is dying. All the money in the world can't help him. It is inshallah, the will of God. However, his father has ideas of his own. The ruler of a small, oil-rich sheikhdom in the Persian Gulf, he will use his wealth to save his son. Challenging the will of Allah, he devises a plan that will make a good man shudder and a good woman die. Reynolds McNeal's marriage has ended and she must learn to make it on her own. She's lonely and vulnerable. Years of living in a small expatriate oil community where everyone knows everyone else, have made her very trusting. When she is befriended by a handsome, interesting man in a coffee shop at Kennedy Airport, they appear to have many things in common. It doesn't occur to her that he is much too charming and that the early morning meeting could be anything more than a coincidence. Their romance blooms, and during a whirlwind holiday that spans three continents, she learns the truth. An innocent bystander is killed and she knows she will be next unless she can come up with a plan of her own. In Daren Lamb's provocative style, she'll guide you through exotic cities, giving you the feeling you have been there before. She will put you in her character's minds and take you to the depth of their passions, while you feel what they feel, and see what they see, as they work out a way to survive.

So they carry on in secret until Nasrin’s parents suddenly announce that they’ve arranged for her marriage. Then Sahar discovers what seems like the perfect solution: homosexuality may be a crime, but to be a man trapped in a woman’s body is seen as nature’s mistake, and sex reassignment is legal and accessible.

Book Description
A “New & Noteworthy” selection of The New York Times Book Review “Alexis Clark illuminates a whole corner of unknown World War II history.” —Walter Isaacson, New York Times bestselling author of Leonardo da Vinci “[A]n irresistible human story. . . . Clark's voice is engaging, and her tale universal.” —Jon Meacham, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Thomas Jefferson: The Art of Power and American Lion: Andrew Jackson in the White House A true and deeply moving narrative of forbidden love during World War II and a shocking, hidden history of race on the home front This is a love story like no other: Elinor Powell was an African American nurse in the U.S. military during World War II; Frederick Albert was a soldier in Hitler's army, captured by the Allies and shipped to a prisoner-of-war camp in the Arizona desert. Like most other black nurses, Elinor pulled a second-class assignment, in a dusty, sun-baked—and segregated—Western town. The army figured that the risk of fraternization between black nurses and white German POWs was almost nil. Brought together by unlikely circumstances in a racist world, Elinor and Frederick should have been bitter enemies; but instead, at the height of World War II, they fell in love. Their dramatic story was unearthed by journalist Alexis Clark, who through years of interviews and historical research has pieced together an astounding narrative of race and true love in the cauldron of war. Based on a New York Times story by Clark that drew national attention, Enemies in Love paints a tableau of dreams deferred and of love struggling to survive, twenty-five years before the Supreme Court's Loving decision legalizing mixed-race marriage—revealing the surprising possibilities for human connection during one of history's most violent conflicts.

Violet's goal is clear-to finish college and work alongside her father and uncle at their family business-but she has one major problem. The dreaded Professor Torres, head of the Architectural Department at Tulane, has a reputation as one of the toughest teachers on campus. Violet has heard more than once that he can be a downright jerk, but she's determined to not let him get in her way. He might be a successful professor, but his personal life is nothing short of a mess... Diego Torres has the worst track record when it comes to women-which is why when he first lays eyes on his new student, he assumes she's like all the other superficial Barbie dolls he's always been attracted to.
