Don't miss this heartwarming and hilarious tale. Reader reviews: "This is a great book to read on transport or going on holidays. I finished mine in no time and laughed lots!" "I loved reading this book! Such an enjoyable read which was hilarious at some points but also really highlighted how arranged marriages are viewed from different perspectives, especially in western society. It's hard to find a book that isn't too 'heavy' but also covers important issues and makes you really empathise with the main character. Highly recommend if you're looking for a fun read but something a bit different from the usual chick-lit." About the author Halima Khatun is a former journalist (having worked for ITV and the BBC), writer and PR consultant. With a lifelong passion for writing, Halima wrote her first novel - a coming-of-age children's story - at the age of 12. It was politely turned down by all the major publishing houses. Halima went on to study English and Journalism and was one of just four people in the UK to be granted a BBC scholarship during her postgraduate studies. She has since written for a number of publications including the HuffPost and Yahoo! Style, and has been featured in the Express, Metro and other national publications. Halima also blogs on lifestyle, food and travel and parenthood on HalimaBobs.

"You're engaged to be married." My father didn't ask for my permission. He told me that I would marry a man I've never met. Wealthy. Powerful. And a complete stranger. Billionaire Perry Constantine is known as the life of the party. And yet he presents a very different face to me behind closed doors. He's hiding a secret darkness. "As your future husband, I have every right to tell you what to do whenever I want." I'm the good, dutiful daughter, so I'll follow my father's commands. But my husband's? Absolutely not. Not even in the bedroom. No matter how much he makes me ache. The Arranged Marriage is a boxed set that contains the complete Wedded Bliss trilogy, including THE RELUCTANT BRIDE, THE RUTHLESS GROOM, and THE RECKLESS UNION. This can be read as a standalone!

Arranged Marriage: The Politics of Tradition, Resistance, and Change shows how arranged marriage practices have been undergoing transformation as a result of global and other processes such as the revolution of digital technology, democratization of transnational mobility, or shifting significance of patriarchal power structures. The ethnographically informed chapters not only highlight how the gendered and intergenerational politics of agency, autonomy, choice, consent, and intimacy work in the contexts of partner choice and management of marriage, but also point out that arranged marriages are increasingly varied and they can be reshaped, reinvented, and reinterpreted flexibly in response to individual, family, religious, class, ethnic, and other desires, needs, and constraints. The authors convincingly demonstrate that a nuanced investigation of the reasons, complex dynamics, and consequences of arranged marriages offers a refreshing analytical lens that can significantly contribute to a deeper understanding of other phenomena such as globalization, modernization, and international migration as well as patriarchal value regimes, intergenerational power imbalances, and gendered subordination and vulnerability of women.

Vayden Bevine, the King of the Gladiolus Mafia, had only ever wanted one thing his whole life: to rule the underworld. But things went bizarre when his parents arranged his marriage with the woman he had been annoying since their childhood: Viana Nivekle. Viana Nivekle is the Queen of the Blemish Mafia, a circle her father, Mr. Nivekle, happily handed over to her. Being twenty-five and yet already running a mafia group is a huge achievement for Viana. However, some things had been haunting her. Like some concealed memories linking between her finger and a trigger. Still, Vayden couldn't deny his parent's marriage proposal. Not when both his and Viana's parents are business associates and extremely close friends. Besides, ruling the Blemish Mafia would be a bonus for him. Plus, he loves annoying Viana. So, Vayden decides to marry Viana despite their bickering. Even though their marriage was anything but related to love, they pretended to be lovey-dovey in front of their respective gangs in order to protect their honor. What happens if they profess their love to the world when in reality, they love everything but each other?What if the Mafia's Arranged Love leads to the massacre of both Vayden and Viana's lives?
