Where were her shoes? It was strange to even think about it. There were certainly more frightening things to consider. The guns, the men, the crash; plus there were all the things left behind which included her passport. These were all too much. So she thought, instead, about her bare feet. Rebecca Dawson had worked hard to afford this trip to France. She wanted to see everything, and experience all Europe had to offer. And she longed for adventure. Canada was home but it was safe. What was life without a little adventure? What she hadn’t wanted was what she and her two best friends had found. Now they faced imprisonment, torture, and slavery. But the most frightening was the one thing they didn’t know about; the reason Fredrick Brouillette and his group were here. And in the midst of it all, Rebecca would have the answer to the one question she had never seriously asked herself, how would she handle a crisis?
Tessa knew that she deserved the fate that had befallen her. The decision to run away from a father who hated her and a marriage she wanted no part of was entirely hers. Certainly the outcome was her responsibility. So why did she keep trying to escape her life? Had she not learned that her master's control was absolute? Escape would never be possible. And yet, when a trip across the ocean presented an unlikely opportunity, she didn't hesitate. But was Tessa reaching too far? Was redemption impossible? Even as a child Trey understood that there was no law to protect a slave against the whims of a white man. So there would be no justice for his family unless he took matters into his own hands. As an adult Trey swore that there would be nothing that would keep Baron Henley safe from his revenge. But even well laid plans could go awry. Particularly when his attention was diverted to the bewildering, raven-haired beauty he impulsively abducted.
A true story of a police woman whose colleagues allegedly ostracized her, complied a dossier of false or misleading allegations against her and delayed coming to her aid in potentially dangerous situations leaves her in tears." Falling behind the race - Claire Dyer - The Guardian "Unseen Darkness - the incredible story of the most amazing inspirational beautiful female who against all odds, finds magic and treasures, and demonstrates the true meaning of a free spirit." Asian Times "Unseen Darkness, we shared a bond that endured everything from childhood experiences to adult intimacies of pain and pleasure, she's a goddess, a woman of beauty, sexuality, a mirror of me, I saw a woman, and a lady thrive to be a free spirit, turn to an angel of inspired sexuality. Madame - Monica Lang EXOTICA "Policewoman, dominatrix, mistress to a London gangster, Unseen Darkness is the inspirational, true-life story of a woman rejected by her family in childhood and forced to agree to an arranged marriage, who simply will not give up, whose instinct even in her darkest hour is to fight. The writing has an intensity and authenticity derived from direct experience that few other books of this kind possess. Candid, heartbreaking and at times shocking for all readers. This is a roller coaster ride that once on, you cannot get off." Alan Denman, writer/director
The life of Rosamond Lehmann was as romantic and harrowing as that of any of her fictional heroines. Her first novel, the shocking Dusty Answer, became wildly successful launching her career as a novelist and, just as her novels depicted the tempestuous lives of her heroines, Rosamond's personal life would be full of heartbreaking affairs and lost loves. Escaping from a disastrous early marriage Rosamond moved right into the heart of Bloomsbury society with Wogan Philipps. Later on she would embark on the most important love affair of her life, with the poet Cecil Day Lewis; nine years later he abandoned her for a young actress - a betrayal from which she would never recover. Selina Hastings masterfully creates a portrait of a woman whose dramatic life, work and relationships criss-crossed the cultural, literary and political landscape of England in the middle of the twentieth century.
Over the past few years, there has been significant growth and development in the salmon farming industry. In order to be successful, practitioners not only need to know how the salmon lives and survives in the wild but, amongst other things have knowledge of disease, production processes, economics and marketing. The Handbook of Salmon Farming is a practical guide that covers everything the practitioner needs to know, and will also be of great use to academics and students of aquaculture and fish biology. The editors have invited contributions from experts in academia, the fish industry and government to provide an up-to-date and comprehensive handbook.
