But it is also a character study of a family that has somehow lost its way. It’s a coming-of-age story introducing Sarah Jane Trowbridge, a young woman whose romantic dreams clash with reality when her grandmother “buys” her a husband who clearly doesn’t want her. It’s the story of the moral dilemma of her new husband, Dante Muir, who struggles to reconcile what he’s always believed of himself with the cold-blooded bastard who agrees to marry in order to save the family estate. Mostly, this is Sarah Jane’s story, her journey from timid dreamer to a woman in her own right, and what she learns along the way. Or, to hear Sarah Jane tell it: Some people might be born to climb mountains, lead armies, or change the world. But most people could only do the best they could under the circumstances, living their lives as honestly as possible, hoping to make those they loved comfortable, helping those less fortunate, and trying not to hurt anyone else along the way.

A promising art student in Chicago in the early 1970s with a happy marriage to her childhood sweetheart points to a bright future, until Jackie's world cracks in two. Six months into the marriage, it becomes alarmingly clear that Jackie's husband Stephen is not the man she thought she married. Even when confronted with overwhelming evidence, her husband cannot admit the truth and blames Jackie for the destruction of their relationship... trapping her in a forbidden love. She tries to cope with the pain by taking on a new job at a local bar, diving into a series of one-night stands, and numbing herself with drugs. Sexy, bad boy mechanic Michael Nowak grabs Jackie's attention from their first encounter. The small-time dealer provides both sex and drugs to distract Jackie from her downward spiral. When their feelings turn from lust to something more, Michael gets roped into a larger-scale criminal operation than he ever thought possible. Can their love survive depression, regret, and struggles of the heart or will the second city swallow them whole?

Book excerpt: Like a phoenix Sheena rises from the ruins of her fate to build a remarkable career and lay the foundation of a beautiful life that promises to last 'happily ever after'. Then all of a sudden dark clouds threaten to obscure the sunshine in her life. But she chooses to shut her eyes to the storm, blissfully ignoring its threat! Like the peacock thrilled by the first drops of rain after a long scorching summer, she mistakes the gathering clouds as harbinger of excitement in her life that she makes herself believe to have become monotonous for her. As she lets her passions soar high in the sky, it does not take much time for her to fall miserably on the hard ground, very much like the peacock that loses all its fervour in the midst of its rain-dance, when faced with the reality of its ugly feet. This saga of the beautiful and gifted woman Sheena takes one on a journey of human feelings and emotions that range from the beautiful to the grotesque, the amazing to the gross. One moment the romance and thrill leave one wondering if life could truly be so beautiful and pleasant, while the next one reflects how suddenly fate can turn the tables for us unsuspecting mortals.

Download or read book False Love and Other Romantic Illusions written by Stan J. Katz and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 1988-09-06 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The quest for true love appeals to us all — and yet the real thing is painfully elusive. According to Dr. Stan Katz, men and women today don't really know what to look for in a mate, or even how to love once we find one. No one teaches us. What's more, the images of love we absorb from society, the media, and popular culture are superficial and misleading. The result is false love — relationships based on illusions of what we think love should be rather than an appreciation of what it is. False Love and Other Romantic Illusions is about the mistakes we all make in love, why we make them, and how we can correct them. Using in-depth case histories, Dr. Katz traces the course of false love from early childhood conditioning to adolescent crushes to adult relationships. He shows how our first misconceptions about love lead to mistakes, and how mistakes become patterns. But the patterns of false love can be broken, and Dr. Katz points the way, with a practical, far-reaching program for achieving and sustaining true love. This timely, intelligent book will alter not only the way we seek intimate relationships, but the way we live them.
