Book excerpt: Molly Pohlig's The Unsuitable is a fierce blend of Gothic ghost story and Victorian novel of manners that’s also pitch perfect for our current cultural moment. Iseult Wince is a Victorian woman perilously close to spinsterhood whose distinctly unpleasant father is trying to marry her off. She is awkward, plain, and most pertinently, believes that her mother, who died in childbirth, lives in the scar on her neck. Iseult’s father parades a host of unsuitable candidates before her, the majority of whom Iseult wastes no time frightening away. When at last her father finds a suitor desperate enough to take Iseult off his hands—a man whose medical treatments have turned his skin silver—a true comedy of errors ensues. As history’s least conventional courtship progresses into talk of marriage, Iseult’s mother becomes increasingly volatile and uncontrollable, and Iseult is forced to resort to extreme, often violent, measures to keep her in check. As the day of the wedding nears, Iseult must decide whether (and how) to set the course of her life, with increasing interference from both her mother and father, tipping her ever closer to madness, and to an inevitable, devastating final act.

Daisy Smith has spent eighteen months of her life paying for a crime she didn't commit. Now out of prison, she has only one focus-to get back custody of her younger brother, Jesse, who is deep in the foster care system. Desperate to rebuild her life and show the system that she is responsible enough to care for Jesse, she takes on the only job available to her-working as a maid at the Matis Estate. On day one of her new job, Daisy meets Kastor Matis, the only son of the owners and her new boss. An enigmatic, handsome Greek god of a man, Kas is closed off, cold, and...well, kind of a bastard. The more time Daisy spends around Kas, she starts to see there might be more to him than just his cold, bastard ways. He may actually have a heart beating in that frozen chest of his. But Kas has secrets, too. Secrets that he's determined to keep. Secrets make Daisy curious. And you know what curiosity can do...

It’s her birthright to live a life of luxury and hobnob with Manhattan’s social elite, but this diminutive gal has dreams that don’t involve following in her mother and sister’s socialite footsteps. She wants to make her own way. Somehow. If she can find something that clicks. When she inherits her great-aunt's Brooklyn brownstone, she takes her chance to see a different side of life, sending her parents into a panic that she’ll find an unsuitable match and live an unsuitable life. Oscar Brennan’s an unsuitable man. He attended school with Darla’s brother but happily gave up his scholarship to return home and help his ailing mother. He’s never met his father. Unlike his good friend, Denver Jones, he became a lawyer to help people, not join fancy firms or run for office. He wants nothing to do with Manhattan. He’s happy in Brooklyn where people don’t pretend to be something they’re not. Until Denver’s baby sister moves next door. There’s something about those big blue eyes, giant heart and well-intentioned cluelessness that turns his head. There’s something about those kissable lips and sharp curves that make him come back for more. He shouldn’t look. He damn well shouldn’t stare. She’s Denver’s sister. But offering his assistance feels like the right thing to do. When she needs a date to her sister’s wedding, he happily obliges to keep her from taking anyone else. When she needs him to pretend to be her boyfriend to keep her mother’s high society matches at bay, he goes all in. After weeks of hijinks at her family’s expense, the two soon realize, no one’s faking a thing in this fake relationship. And Darla Jones finally finds something that clicks.

Book excerpt: The reason behind choosing this title of an UN suitable girl is to explore the gender inequality which is still prevailing in the society. Why is it that women can't over power a man?why a female can't be the dominant fighter?are the unsolved questions.The stigma that 'the women who has attained the higher post or position still lacks the strength' will take time for its removal from the hearts of the so called stronger male. Its high time to bring changes in our outlook of praising women for her accomplishments and not the post or position.Every women is suitable for the task meant for her. Never under estimate her strength. A loud voice of a man may threaten a woman but the silence of a woman can shake the consciousness of a man. This book is a collection of stories poem and articles.Girl power is a slogan that encourages and celebrates women's empowerment, independence, confidence and strength girls strength helps visitors realize their value, love others, achieve their dreams, defy stereotypes, and work together to change the world. Through girl power, girls—and the adults they grow into— reimagine girlhood and define their own identity as individuals and a united group. Women who openly display their power, knowledge, and skill, receiving public recognition and honor. But also females who manage to wield power in societies that try to limit it or decree female submission; where their leadership is stigmatized and their creativity disdained. And women who resist and overthrow oppressive traditions and regimes. Who break the rules in defiance of unjust legal and religious "authorities." Who pursue their vision in spite of the personal cost. The idea for the story originated from my own experiences and observations while working in my day to day life.. This book will make the readers happy and encourage the women to empowerment

But when her traditionally arranged marriage implodes days before the ceremony, Asha feels lost and humiliated. At nearly thirty-seven, she knows her dream of having her own children is slipping away, but she has no Plan B for her life. Then Dhruv Narula rescues her from a kitchen fire, and something wild in Asha awakens. Dhruv is everything she’s not—sexy, fearless, unbound by tradition, and completely irresistible. Former soldier and now firefighter Dhruv isn’t expecting a hero's welcome home. Though he’s proud of his life and career choices, he never once gained his exacting father’s approval or the respect of his tight Indian community. While Dhruv stopped caring what anyone thought years ago, even he hesitates to hurtle into a scorching secret relationship with the woman he always fantasized about—the brilliant jewel-of-society Asha Kapoor. Asha and Dhruv know they’re completely wrong for each other. So then why does it feel so right?

Book excerpt: When an unsuitable gentleman appears to court a baron's daughter, it's an older sister's duty to stand in his way. And, of course, not fall in love with him herself. Matilda "Mattie" Rayment is a woman embroiled in a delicate mission: to ensure her vivacious younger sister, Beatrice, makes a prosperous match before the curtain falls on this Season. Their family's waning reputation and looming financial ruin add urgency to her quest. When Oliver Bolton, a newly minted gentleman and nephew to their family's steward, shows an interest in Beatrice, Mattie's plans teeter on the brink of unraveling. Oliver Bolton has harbored a distant infatuation for Miss Beatrice Rayment, but has always kept his feelings at bay, hemmed in by the limits of his social standing. Now the owner of a modest estate, Oliver finds himself in possession of a newly minted ticket to society's intricate dance. At last, he can pursue the woman of his dreams—except, it seems, his dreams may be outdated. As Mattie attempts to divert Oliver from what she deems would be an imprudent union with her sister, she finds her own heart increasingly ensnared by the charming steward’s nephew. Similarly, Oliver discovers that the woman who most captures his imagination is not Beatrice, but Mattie herself. As the Season draws to a close, Mattie and Oliver must confront an essential question: can they set aside societal norms and their own well-laid plans to listen to the quiet stirrings of their hearts? In this closed-door Regency romance, the anticipated dance of courtship takes unforeseen steps, forcing Mattie and Oliver to decide if their future happiness is worth the risk of an unconventional match. Originally published as part of An Evening at Almack's, a Regency Collection, this edition has been edited and expanded.
