Restless, daring, proud, they are the Merricks: Fia, the only daughter, the ravishing one; Raine, her older brother, the reckless one; and Ashton, the eldest, the passionate one. Born of bad blood, they were raised in the Scottish Highlands on lands that belonged to their mother’s kin, the McClairens—until their English father seized the ancestral stronghold for his own. Yet all are destined to find loves as wild and glorious as the isle they call home. Possessed of unearthly beauty, the young widow Fia Merrick MacFarlane is the toast of London society. She can have any suitor she wants—or any her scheming father wants for her—but love is a weakness Fia cannot afford. Once she would have given everything to Thomas Donne, until the earnest, dashing Scot betrayed her family and broke her heart. Now he’s back in her life and determined to steal her away to McClairen’s Isle. But as Fia aims to take her own revenge, she sets off a steamy affair that crosses the line from seduction to obsession—and unlocks desires that will not be denied.

Book excerpt: In this study of sexual violence and rape in French medieval literature and law, Kathryn Gravdal examines an array of famous works never before analyzed in connection with sexual violence.

Download or read book Ravishing DisUnities written by Agha Shahid Ali and published by Wesleyan University Press. This book was released on 2000-11-03 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A star-studded anthology infuses English poetry with the rigor and wit of a foreign form. In recent years, the ghazal (pronounced "ghuzzle"), a traditional Arabic form of poetry, has become popular among contemporary English language poets. But like the haiku before it, the ghazal has been widely misunderstood and thus most English ghazals have been far from the mark in both letter and spirit. This anthology brings together ghazals by a rich gathering of 107 poets including Diane Ackerman, John Hollander, W. S. Merwin, William Matthews, Paul Muldoon, Ellen Bryant Voigt, and many others. As this dazzling collection shows, the intricate and self-reflexive ghazal brings the writer a unique set of challenges and opportunities. Agha Shahid Ali's lively introduction gives a brief history of the ghazal and instructions on how to compose one in English. An elegant afterword by Sarah Suleri Goodyear elucidates the larger issues of cultural translation and authenticity inherent in writing in a "borrowed" form.

Download or read book Ravishing written by Alena Guest and published by Alena Guest. This book was released on 2019-08-15 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By day, as Queen of the Amazons, I dominated the males around me. By night, I was inducted into the underworld of Hollywood, where I became the plaything of prominent men. I learned an age-old lesson, that men want more than to appreciate beauty, they want to possess it. And in those days, The Los Angeles Times called me "the most beautiful woman in the world." I discovered that the mavens of Hollywood are particularly hard wired to exploit young hopefuls. I was grabbed in elevators, below the table in restaurants and in dressing rooms. Beyond these violations, a world renowned director drugged me with Quaaludes and champagne, before he raped my inert body. Ravishing comprises a twenty-year period of my life in Rome, Paris, Tokyo, Acapulco, Los Angeles and both sides of the demilitarized zone in Korea. This narrative addresses the question, which has confounded the male species for centuries, "What Do Women Really Want?" The answer lies within...and within its pages.
