LOVERS' PARADISE OR TEMPTATION ISLAND...? Famous novelist Anne-Marie Langdale thought that living at the couples-only Caribbean resort she created would inspire her, but instead the Queen of Romance appears to have writer's block. Convinced that attracting gorgeous young guests like the heroes and heroines in her books will kick-start her creative juices Anne-Marie runs a competition: three head-over-heels couples will win an all-inclusive fortnight in The Love Resort. As the beautiful competition winners arrive, so too do Hollywood's hottest newly-weds, looking for a honeymoon hideaway from the world's press. With such romance in the air, and all this publicity, Anne-Marie's next novel looks set to be a huge bestseller... Except that none of the guests is quite what they seem. There's going to be trouble in paradise as the sun heats up, the cocktails are poured and the truth starts to emerge...
Would you ever consider a marriage pact? Holly did. In a heartbroken and drunken haze, it all seemed to make perfect sense. George was her best friend, would always be her best friend and, if they both found themselves single at the age of thirty, well, why not? But when, a decade later, a man Holly hasn't seen for years says she's signed a contract and has to marry him, she realises exactly why not. Forget the fact that her career is going places, forget that she's head-over-heels in love with a gorgeous boyfriend, George wants the pact fulfilled and will stop at nothing to get his way. Can I do become I don't? Or will it all end horribly ever after? Watch the confetti fly in this fabulous new novel from the bitingly funny Faith Bleasdale.

How we teach ethics has been an ambiguous instructional area for many years. In religious schools it is left to the work of the religion teacher, and in public schools it is often incorporated into a civics course. Across the curriculum there are multiple points at which we can incorporate the study of ethics in interdisciplinary ways. In this volume we will focus on how educators in high schools (grades 9-12) can incorporate the teaching of ethics effectively across all disciplines (Sciences, Humanities, Arts, Math and Technology). The introduction of the book will be a foundational description of ethics - what it means to study ethics and to be an ethical person.
