Book Description

A bored wife begins a torrid affair with another man—only to discover, in the process, that her husband isn’t quite as dull as she’d imagined. A woman is approached by an old classmate to help cover up a crime. An old and eerie legend connected to the seaside town of Tharangambadi, ‘Tranquebar’, is invoked in the present day. A quiet civil servant who is a closet James Bond fan comes to the rescue of a colleague being harassed. Revenge is sought, wrongs are righted, comeuppances dealt out in this collection of black humour short stories. These stories are a mix of the macabre and the humorous; some stories more dark than funny, some more quirkily and quietly humorous than unsettling. All have a twist in the tale that adds a final, memorable touch to each story. Originally published by Westland in 2012, My Lawfully Wedded Husband and Other Stories is now re-released in an e-book only format, with two brand new stories added to the initial collection.

Book Description

Some marriages are made in heaven, and others, quite frankly, are not. This anthology collects the private reflections of 25 well-known women writers, some of whom speak under the liberating cloak of anonymity. They reveal the truth about their marriages, their divorces, and sometimes, their decisions to remain single. The essays here chronicle the highs and lows of romantic relationships, the ebb and flow of love and desire, and the many alternatives to traditional matrimony. With topics ranging from infidelity and true love to orgasms, children, career power struggles, race issues, and aging, these are stories that empower women to make sense of their own lives.

Book Description

Spain, 1809. Wounded at the Battle of Talavera de la Reina, Michael Rheese flees oncoming French forces—and when he seeks refuge at a grand hacienda, is forced into a barter: refuge for his men, in exchange for Michael’s hand in marriage for Eva, the orphaned granddaughter of the chatelaine. But Eva and Michael’s marriage is short-lived: just hours later, as they race for the English Channel, they run into the French. Michael is shot, dragged off. Dead. Six years later, Eva arrives in England, having discovered that Michael is still alive. Repeated letters draw no response from him, so she sets out on her own, a lonely and penurious woman, going to meet a man she does not really know. What will Eva find at the end of her journey? And will the compassionate Mr Denborough, who befriends her along the way, prove more a distraction than a friend? This is the first of the War Brides series, which follows the lives and loves of women married in times of strife.
