Book excerpt: Responsible, disciplined William Fox channeled his love for art and his faith in the rules into being an FBI Art Crimes agent. Right and wrong, justice and injustice-the differences are clear, and Will has spent his career drawing a line between them. Maybe his convictions have cost him relationships, but he's not willing to compromise what he knows is right. Until the night he meets Amory Vaughn. As the head of his family's philanthropic foundation, Vaughn knows very well that being rich and powerful can get him almost anything he wants. And when he meets endearingly grumpy and slightly awkward William Fox, he wants him more than he's wanted anything. Vaughn is used to being desired for his name and his money, but Will doesn't care about either. When Vaughn falls back on old habits and attempts to impress Will by stealing a painting Will admires, their nascent bond blows up in his face. But Vaughn isn't willing to give up on the glimpse of passion he saw the night he took Will apart. Before Will knows it, he's falling for the man he should have arrested, and Vaughn has to realize that some things can't be bought or stolen. Love has to be given freely. But can a man who lives by the rules, and a man who thinks the rules don't apply to him, ever see eye to eye?

Download or read book Stolen My Heart written by S. A. Ghandi and published by Strategic Book Publishing & Rights Agency. This book was released on 2015-05-11 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stolen My Heart: The Thrill of Falling in Love and the Tragedy of Heartbreak is aimed especially at young adults. It is a story of love, romance, and heartbreak. It also tells how the lessons learned could inspire others. Says Rev. S. A. Ghandi, “This book is a true-life experience that I had with girls in my life. It is the journey of my love life, my pursuit of destiny, and the girl of my dreams. From one disappointment to the other, I never ceased to learn the great lessons of life in all of my predicaments and heartbreaks with these girls. It was the memories, the regrets, and the pains in retrospect I held over the years that led me to write this love tale.” Stolen My Heart is a true-life experience showing the thrill of falling in love, as well as the tragedy of heartbreak that author S. A. Ghandi experienced with girls throughout his life. It is a tale of the good, the bad, and the ugly sides of his love life. It includes the lessons he learned in retrospect from his heartbreaks and how he was able to deal with them. He says, “It has taught me never to give up on love. It has taught me to always embrace love and women. It has taught me more about love, tenderness, tolerance, compatibility and mutual understanding with the opposite sex.” While others may break down after their heart is broken, Ghandi had been able to turn his misfortune into an equivalent advantage for good, not succumbing to the destruction of his emotions for love and the pursuit of destiny. This book is written specially for those who have ever been in the mud and tasted the bitterness of love to find a stream of motivation and healing, one that flows from every hurt on every page. The author adds, “Every experience that I had with these girls has never left me the same. It has made me a better person. While the experience of heartbreak makes some people be more resentful towards love and women, it has taught me to be otherwise.”
