Born in 1925, Shanti Bhushan was witness to the formative years of the Indian republic. Courting Destiny traces the remarkable story of his life---the family's origins in the town of Bijnor in the United Provinces, the experience of growing up in a joint family in Allahabad, initial encounters with the law when the Constitution of India was being framed, the distinguished career as a lawyer and law minister, culminating in the campaign for judicial accountability. These memoirs provide a participant's account of some of the most interesting and seminal cases that laid the foundations of India's constitutional history. They include the Keshav Singh case of 1964 which led to the first standoff between the executive and the judiciary; Indira Gandhi's election case which unseated her as prime minister, leading to the imposition of the Emergency; the habeas corpus case where the Supreme Court declared that during an emergency there is no right to life or liberty and hence no recourse against illegal detention; and the parliament attack case in which the Supreme Court, while acquitting Shaukat Guru of all charges of conspiracy, convicted him on a charge for which he was never accused. Together, they offer a broad perspective of the evolution of Indian law and the interpretation of the Constitution. Courting Destiny affords us a glimpse of the many fundamental and far-reaching political and constitutional changes that took place in the decades following independence. The descriptions of Shanti Bhushan's brief involvement in party politics and his time as law minister in the post-Emergency Janata government make for a fascinating insider's account of an important phase of the nation's life. In this narration of the author's life and work, the personal, the professional and the public unfold seamlessly, never at the cost of one or the other. Written in a direct and engaging style, laced with gentle humour, Courting Destiny will appeal to all those interested in India's legal, constitutional and political history. At a time when both the Bar and the Bench are under a cloud, the illustrious sixty-year career of Shanti Bhushan will be a source of inspiration for young advocates.

Anthony Burleson didn't let tragedy quell his desire to find the love of his life and have a family of his own. A family like he was raised in had been his dream since childhood. After being medically discharged from the Navy, his injuries combined with ghosts from his past made living on the family ranch in his small town difficult and depressing. Luckily for him, his childhood best friends, the Hunter twins, were able to get him an interview to be the pilot for the Galactic Wrestling Association where they worked as professional wrestlers. The night of his interview in Tulsa, Oklahoma, he started dreaming about the woman he knew was his soulmate. A little over a year later, on a return trip to Tulsa with the GWA, he finally met her. It was love at first sight. Anthony knew the instant he saw her for the first time that she was his dream woman. Kay Lee thought Anthony was too good to be true. She hadn't dated since her divorce, or really since before her marriage almost thirteen years earlier. She was a single mom healing after divorcing her abusive ex-husband, scraping by with the help of her parents, struggling to set a good example to her daughters so they could grow up to be strong, independent women. While she had always been a romantic at heart and secretly longed for the whirlwind, passionate romance she had only read about, she didn't think it could happen for her. Until she met her knight in shining armor at the castle themed hotel where she worked. When her ex-husband showed up drunk and an hour and a half late picking up the girls for his weekend, Anthony's plan to slowly and secretly court Kay until she was ready to introduce him to her daughters got thrown out and replaced with his new plan to protect his future family. Anthony's plan for courting Kay was fast tracked when he took her on the run from destructive behavior of her ex. He helped her get a job with him in the GWA and moved her and her daughters to his family ranch in the small town of Heart's Destiny to keep them all safe from her abusive ex. Their adventures as they fight for full custody of her daughters run the gamut from wholesome family fun with her precocious daughters to hot sexy desire behind their locked bedroom door. Shy single mom, Kay comes out of her shell with Anthony. Gentlemanly pilot Anthony learns to express his inner kinky alpha with Kay. They blend their families publicly for a small town happily ever after while sneaking off for alone time to stoke the fires of their off the charts heat.

Beautiful Anna Harrison has carved out her life as a small-town lawyer. Brilliantly intelligent and fiercely independent, a female attorney of her caliber is quite the oddity in 1880s Montana Territory! After losing her fiancé years before, she guards her heart as carefully as her treasured independence--until outlaw Jeremiah Brown comes into her life. Throwing caution to the wind is not in Anna--but what can one night with her handsome client hurt? He's leaving town the next day... Jeremiah Brown has been working hard to come clean and dodge bounty hunters who know him as Tommy Slade until the statute of limitations runs out on his past crimes. Though he's irresistibly drawn to Anna, he's well aware that sleeping with his beautiful attorney is a deadly game to play, even if it's only "just" one night. Still, how can he resist? But Fate has different plans for them, and they find themselves falling in love against their better judgment. How can they have a future with a price still on Jeremiah's head? And how can Anna find happiness as a wife without losing her own hard-won independence? When circumstances spiral out of their control, they both discover that love is the most important thing of all. In the courtroom, in the wilderness, and in the face of scandal, Jeremiah's biggest challenge is Courting Anna.
