Book Description
When Nick Devlin agrees to stay on and manage the opening of the new riverboat casino he’s built near Baton Rouge, Louisiana, he doesn’t envision more than a temporary stop. In the business world, and in love, this high-stakes entrepreneur has always arrived, conquered, and moved on. Casey Fontaine is nothing like the ladies Nick has loved and left. Beautiful, passionate and sweeter than the sugar cane she farms, Casey pours her energy and dedication into Bellefontaine, the Fontaine family plantation. But someone doesn’t want Casey—or Bellefontaine—to succeed. The attraction between them is hotter than a sultry bayou night. But will Nick stay around long enough to help Casey discover who is behind the attacks on Bellefontaine? And can this rooted-to-the-land beauty dare gamble her heart on a man who has never called just one place home?

Book Description
Duke Fontaine is dead, but he’s left behind a daughter no one knew he had. A daughter who’s about to inherit one-third of his estate. Noelani Hana is the secret daughter of Louisiana sugarmagnate Duke Fontaine—and the secret sister of his children Casey and Jackson. Their existence is as much of a shock to her as hers is to them. Complying with the terms of his will, Noelani travels to Bellefontaine, the family estate and sugar plantation. She wants nothing more than to collect her share of the inheritance and return home to Hawaii. Three things stop her. One, she’ll have to wait for the cane harvest, since the Fontaines are land rich and cash poor. Two, she discovers that they apparently have an enemy willing to sabotage Bellefontaine, and as Noelani is now a member of the family, she, too, becomes a target. And three—she meets Adam Ross. A man who’s sweet as sugar, sexy as sin and damn good in a crisis!

Women, Pleasure and the Gambling Experience
Author: Emma Casey
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134779682
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 156
Book Description
Drawing on a broad range of historical and sociological literature, this book traces the everyday gambling experiences of a diverse group of women. It provides fascinating and original insights into the pleasures afforded to women through their gambling participation and draws on a variety of feminist literature to understand women's motivations and experience of play, and to examine the ways in which women negotiate their right to gamble without reprimand. Since gambling tends to be framed within moral discourses of danger and excess, this book offers a defence of women's decisions to gamble against an often hostile backdrop. It rewrites claims that gambling is 'meaningless' and reckless spending, by pointing instead to the highly complex strategies that women who gamble employ. Importantly, it adds to contemporary feminist debates about women's leisure by showing how women seize control of their lives in order to carve out a time and space for the pursuit of pleasure.

Ike's Gamble
Author: Michael Doran
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1451697759
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
In a bold reinterpretation of history, Ike's Gamble shows how the 1956 Suez Crisis taught President Eisenhower that Israel, not Egypt, would have to be America's ally in the region. In 1956 President Nasser of Egypt moved to take possession of the Suez Canal, bringing the Middle East to the brink of war. Distinguished Middle East expert Michael Doran shows how Nasser played the United States, invoking America's opposition to European colonialism to his own benefit. At the same time Nasser made weapons deals with the USSR and destabilized other Arab countries that the United States had been courting. In time, Eisenhower would realize that Nasser had duped him and that the Arab countries were too fractious to anchor America's interests in the Middle East. Affording deep insight into Eisenhower and his foreign policy, this fascinating and provocative history provides a rich new understanding of the tangled path by which the United States became the power broker in the Middle East. -- Back cover.

Gambling and Gender
Author: Deborah K. Phillips
Publisher: Peter Lang
ISBN: 9781433105227
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 188
Book Description
There are two distinct strands in the literature on gambling: one that focuses on how to play and win the various games of chance and one that focuses on gambling compulsion and addiction. Gambling and Gender forges a new direction, studying gambling as more communication than compulsion, more recreation than deviance, more sociology than psychology. Within that framework it seeks to explore several aspects of gender: How do the gambling behaviors of men and women differ? How have women adapted to and/or changed the historically male dominance of the gambling arena? What gambling activities have women claimed as their own and used to develop uniquely female relationships? How have recent trends in technology and mass media changed the ways in which men and women claim - or reject - their gender identities? The authors use a variety of research strategies, including content analysis, survey research, interviews, and participative observation, to shed new light on this fascinating subject and to suggest ways to explore it further.
