"Настойчивая девственница" - это книга о новобрачной паре Гарте и Хеспер Лоутон, которые заключили брак по договоренности. Они согласились не заниматься физическими отношениями, но по мере того, как жених боролся со своими чувствами и желанием к своей молодой, невинной невесте, он понял, что она намеревается оставаться девственной женой навсегда!
Хеспер, с блестящим обручальным кольцом на пальце и любовью к своему мужу в глазах, хотела быть для него более, чем просто женой по договоренности. Но как ей рассказать Гарту о том, что может произойти, если он познакомит ее с настоящей страстью? Будет ли он бежать куда глаза глядят? Или превратит свой брак в настоящую любовь?
Elizabeth August's acclaimed THE VIRGIN QUEEN came out in ebook form in February, and now out is THE DETERMINED VIRGIN. In this suspenseful novel, the noted author takes center stage, conjuring suspense and intrigue subliminally and with a refreshing sense of virtuous provocation. Elizabeth August habitually concentrates on a strongly morally enlightened perspective on sexuality, marriage, estrangement, sibling rivalry, matricide and birth defects, even including both of these characters in her last publication...but combining these issues uniquely, like no other author in recent history.
In "The Determined Virgin," Elizabeth August invites us to indulge in old-fashioned gender norms without consistently doing so. We follow Hesper, an intensely courted former baker's daughter who agonizes between retaining traditional virginity from a marriage that she has relatively voluntarily entered, and being challenged by the eminent desire mounted against her person by her beau of marriage, a feisty young blue collar artisan named Garth. He's deliberately rebuffing and sidelining her most requisite traits in obtaining a continuing cooperation in their relationship, both for personal whims and for purely practical reasons revolving around financial compensation. Sure, neither of them wants to end up friends after the ceremony. No, now they can leave Charlotte N. Broome Quadrangle (or Charlotte's Wide Awake) forever and claim a new start as Mr. & Mrs. Lawton...could it be?
Having received thousands of e-mails asking where the following novel is, I'm pleased to inform you that wait may finally be over! The romance between Ms. August and Mr. Lawton promises to be both rivetingly strange and intensely enlivening -- but expect uneven developments and unexpected turnings for Hesper and Garth as they negotiate different stages of their evolving relationship, (http://books.simonandschuster.com/Determined-Virgin/Elizabeth-August/9781416588408). The engine for their development remains the juicy attraction between Miss Lawton and hapless Mister Lawton. After all, you can never have enough sizzling passion and smart-as-a-whip excitement in the genre.
