A novel of epic proportions that chronicles recent Philippine history and culture
Lady Isabel Calvert hides her true spirit from everyone, especially her best friend’s brother, Douglas, whom she secretly admires. Isabel’s older brother attempts to do the unthinkable and one night he almost succeeds. After the incident, her father’s superstition nature induces him to send her to an asylum. She must escape, her only hope—Douglas Kerr. Isabel is no shrinking violet, but she intends to be the timid woman all men want in hope that Douglas will love her. Laird Douglas Kerr is forlorn at his mission to find a wife. He was charming, wasn’t he? At least that’s what everyone teases him about. Douglas is asked by his sister to retrieve her friend, Isabel, the fiery, red-haired, cat-eyed, temptress he’d met when he escorted his sister home for their father’s burial. When he meets the woman again, he doesn’t find the hellion he believes her to be. Nay, she’s a sweet, coy woman who intrigues him. As Douglas’ life becomes complicated with mysterious happenings, he might also find the love he’s been missing all his life. Can this dagger-wielding woman win the heart of the charmer?

As well as looking at this relationship, the book explains how the anomalous situation of the enclaves impinges on issues such as immigration from North and sub-Saharan Africa into the EU, defence, trade and the Spanish political scene in general.
A predominância de um modelo de desenvolvimento, como se assiste hoje, é fruto de uma forte articulação institucional, amplo poder organizacional e homogeneização de valores culturais localizados que, entre outros fatores, como o tecnológico, garante sua expansão ao mercado global. A globalização é o inverno que se aproxima e não há como evitá-lo, mas a simples assimilação deste seu modelo não garante a competitividade de regiões brasileiras. Não há como se enfrentar o problema de exclusão das economias periféricas sem transformar, a priori, a mentalidade dos agentes responsáveis pela governança das localidades e, também, de seus cidadãos. Deve-se cuidar do uso da e...
