Can two women who trust no one risk all and trust each other? Raised by a single mother on the wrong side of the tracks, Unity Vaughan has fought for everything she's ever achieved.

She needs an expert to watch her back and spy on her enemies, which is how she finds herself in a bizarre nightclub trying to hire a woman with a flogger in one hand, a camera in the other, and a pair of corseted twins fondling her body. Penn Harte makes her living the way lots of former CIA agents do, selling her unusual skills to the highest bidder. Lately she's also been doing her best friend Lila a favor by helping out in Lila’s upscale fetish club. When Unity approaches Penn with an offer to work for her, Penn can’t believe her luck – she’s already been hired by Unity’s biggest enemy, who wants a blackmail tape. Penn figures she’ll have Unity, the perfect subject for seduction, on film in a compromising position within days. The problem is, Penn doesn’t know if she can see Unity as just another job.

Pages : 308
Book Description
What would it be like to wake in the middle of your life with no memory of what had gone before? Would you run straight back into the past - or would you take this chance to start again - with a naked heart? Anna wakes in a hospital bed, with no memory of anything before the accident that almost took her life four months before. Everyone tells her that her former life was perfect. But as she starts to search for the pieces of the puzzle herself, a completely different picture emerges. This is the story of Anna's journey into herself, into a past she never knew and had never questioned. THE NAKED HUSBAND explored the world of a man who could not face a future he had built for himself. THE NAKED HEART explores a woman's history, and how it has ruled her. Is it possible for people to love us and still have no idea who we really are? Are we the sum of our memories, or do they instead keep us from ourselves? If we abandon our past, can we then, finally, be free? THE NAKED HEART answers many questions raised by its predecessor, but asks very many more.

The Naked Blogger of Cairo
Author: Marwan M. Kraidy
Publisher: Harvard University Press
ISBN: 0674969502
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
A Times Higher Education Book of the Year Uprisings spread like wildfire across the Arab world from 2010 to 2012, fueled by a desire for popular sovereignty. In Tunisia, Egypt, Syria, and elsewhere, protesters flooded the streets and the media, voicing dissent through slogans, graffiti, puppetry, videos, and satire that called for the overthrow of dictators and the regimes that sustained them. Investigating what drives people to risk everything to express themselves in rebellious art, The Naked Blogger of Cairo uncovers the creative insurgency at the heart of the Arab uprisings. “A deep dive into the cultural politics of the Arab uprisings...Kraidy’s sharp insights and rich descriptions of a new Arab generation’s irrepressible creative urges will amply reward the effort. Reading Kraidy’s accounts of the politically charted cultural gambits of wired Arab youth rekindles some of the seemingly lost spirit of the early days of the Arab uprisings and offers hope for the future.” —Marc Lynch, Washington Post “The Naked Blogger of Cairo is a superb and important work not just for scholars but for anyone who cares about the relationships between art, the body, and revolution.” —Hans Rollman, PopMatters

But when he falls in love with another woman, Mark's life unravels, exposing regret, estrangement and heartache. Yet as his marriage falls apart Mark still can't let go. Nor can his lover, Anna, who won't leave her husband. When Mark finally does make the break, the effect is catastrophic - his wife commits suicide. The circuit breaker comes when Mark finds his dead wife's journals, and in their pages discovers a man - himself - he can barely recognise.
