Book excerpt: Ruthless technology billionaire Lucas Ford has run out of time. The rules of his trust make it clear: be married by thirty-five and stay married for one year. Otherwise, bye-bye inheritance—and the family fortune will be inherited by his sister, who might very well blow it on Botox and funding her sorority alma mater. Struggling escort Blake Maxwell has a choice: accept Lucas's offer to marry him in exchange for a million dollars or keep working as an escort until she can scrape enough money together to quit the business for good. This is the chance she's been waiting for—to take care of her ailing mother and leave her own backstabbing sister behind...Both Blake and Lucas are forced to make the best of a bad situation. As their enemies fight to take them down, they have to work together to meet their goal: stay married for one year and persuade everyone that it's real so the terms of the trust can't be contested. But keeping things real complicates matters even further. Blake can't afford to have feelings for her brooding client. She needs to take the money and run to protect her seriously wounded heart. On the other hand, Lucas can't afford to lose the one woman he's ever really fallen for...the woman he never expected to steal his heart. But they have to survive their respective demons, their attraction to each other, and their enemies first!

But before she knows what's happening, he's rewriting the contract. When Audrey ends up in James's bed, he realizes that she's everything he's wanted... and everything he's been running from.

Download or read book The Liberated Bride written by A. B. Yehoshua and published by HMH. This book was released on 2004-10-04 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Israeli professor and an Arab student join forces in a witty novel that “tells a simple story about a region that complicates all it touches” (The New Yorker). Yochanan Rivlin, a professor at Haifa University, is a man of boundless and often naïve curiosity. His wife, Hagit, a district judge, is tolerant of almost everything but her husband’s faults and prevarications. Frequent arguments aside, they are a well-adjusted couple with two grown sons. When one of Rivlin’s students—a young Arab bride from a village in the Galilee—is assigned to help with his research in recent Algerian history, a two-pronged mystery develops. As they probe the causes of the bloody Algerian civil war, Rivlin also becomes obsessed with his son’s failed marriage. Rivlin’s search leads to a number of improbable escapades. In this comedy of manners, at once deeply serious and highly entertaining, Yehoshua brilliantly portrays characters from disparate sectors of Israeli life, united above all by a very human desire for, and fear of, the truth in politics and life.

Download or read book Minhagim written by Joseph Isaac Lifshitz and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2019-12-16 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parallel to the Halakhic laws, the minhagim (customs) are dependent on local practices and the regional schools of sages and rabbis. The minhagim played a decisive role in the history of the Jewish communities and in the formation of traditions of religious rulings. They gave stability, continuity, and authority to the local institutions. The impact of Jewish custom on daily life cannot be overestimated. Evolving spontaneously as an ascending process, it presents undercurrents that emanate from the folk, gradually bringing about changes that eventually become part of the legislative code. It further reflects influences of social, cultural, and mythological tendencies and local historical elements of every-day life of the period. The aim of this volume is to examine the concept of minhag in the broadest sense of the word. Focusing on the relationship between various types of customs and their impact on every aspect of Jewish life, the volume studies the historical, anthropological, religious, and cultural development and function of rites and rituals in establishing the Jewish self-definition and the identity of the local communities that adhered to them. The volume’s articles cover the subject of custom from three perspectives: an analysis of the theoretical and legal definition of custom, an analysis of the social and historical aspects of custom, and an anecdotal study of several particular customs. Customs are a wonderful historical prism by which to examine fluctuations and changes in Jewish life.
