Delicate, titian-haired Theresa Noble has met her father's associates in the past, but the gorgeous, Italian-born Sandro De Lucci leaves her speechless. Eighteen months into their marriage, however, Sandro has turned to ice. Desperate to escape a relationship that has proven to be as stubbornly passionate as it is cold and hateful, Theresa summons up the courage to ask for a divorce. But before he'll grant her request, Sandro demands something from Theresa: a son. The stalemate sickens her. Never mind that Sandro has yet to introduce Theresa to the large family that means so much to him. Or that Theresa overhears her husband on the phone with a mystery woman. Most damning is that Theresa senses, in Sandro's treatment of her, the behind-the-scenes machinations of Jackson Noble, her cruel father. From the depths of her anxiety, Theresa must seek an empowering truth about the husband who calls her, with such cold affection, his cara, his beloved.

Tall and thin, twenty-eight-year-old Bronwyn Palmer has become positively gaunt, a ghost of her former self. That self was--and still is--the wife of a rich, handsome executive with an ocean-view house and his own security staff.

But Bryce's rage over his impending fatherhood touched off a chain reaction of emotional and physical traumas that wounded them both. For Bronwyn, it meant fleeing the perfect marriage to start over with nothing but a precocious daughter named Kayla to care for.

Now a chance encounter has brought Bronwyn back into Bryce's life, both bearing scars...and neither knowing the whole truth of that fateful night that drove them apart.

Book Description
Dion and Faye have been engaged since they were kids, but their 10-year age gap led Dion to stay away from her for years, going as far as going to boarding school overseas, and college in the UK. Unbeknownst to anyone, part of his reluctance is fueled by guilt - he's convinced he was the reason his parents and Faye's mother were on the plane that took their life, and he's unable to face Faye. When he's forced back home for the wedding he can no longer escape, he learns that his timid fiancée now has a boyfriend. After intercepting the two on their way up to a hotel room in a hotel his family owns, he becomes increasingly intrigued by the parts of Faye she hides from the world. The more he learns about her, the harder he falls. Except, it soon becomes clear that all Faye has ever wanted was true freedom; something she never had in her abusive household. She soothes his soul and heals his wounds, so how could he keep her captive in a marriage she never wanted, when she's meant to fly high? Our sweet hero learns that sometimes, letting someone go is the best way to love them. What he doesn't expect is that sometimes, love is worth coming back home for too.

Forced Marriage and 'Honour' Killings in Britain
Author: Christina Julios
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317134176
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 181
Book Description
This book explores the contemporary phenomenon of forced marriage and 'honour' killings in Britain. Set against a background of increasing 'honour'-based violence within the country's South Asian and Muslim Diasporas, the book traces the development of the 'honour' question over the past two decades. It accordingly witnesses unprecedented changes in public awareness and government policy including ground-breaking 'honour'-specific legislation and the criminalisation of forced marriage. All of which makes Britain an important context for the study of this now indigenous and self-perpetuating social problem. In considering the scale of the challenge and its underlying causes, attention is paid to the intersections of gendered power structures that disadvantage female members of 'honour' cultures as well as feminist theories that seek to explain them. The book features five key case-studies of 'honour' killings and draws from a wide range of narratives including those of 'honour' violence survivors, grassroots service providers and legislators. Such myriad of perspectives reveals the complexity of the 'honour' issue and the deep ideological divisions that characterise it. With the UK's multiculturalist discourse unable to reconcile protecting patriarchal minority cultures with safeguarding gender equality and human rights, the book raises fundamental questions about the country's future direction. Following a long trend of state-sponsored integrationist policies, the government's response to the 'honour' question points decisively in the direction of a post-multicultural British nation.
