Sinossi

Beautiful Place is a novel about leaving and losing home and making family. It is about being oppressed and angry and wanting a better life – but how is a better life to be defined?
The Villa Hibiscus is a house by the sea on the exquisite southern coast of Sri Lanka, home to Padma, a young Sri Lankan woman. The owner of the villa, Gerhardt, is an elderly Austrian architect to whom Padma was taken when young by her scheming father, Sunny, who had hoped to seduce the wealthy new foreigner in the area with his attractive child. Gerhardt adopts Padma and pays Sunny to stay away until she's grown up – when Gerhardt expects to have sent Padma away to University, far away.
But Padma fails her exams and is lonely in the city, gladly returning to her beloved old home by the sea. With Gerhardt's help she creates a guesthouse at the villa and soon guests start to arrive, opening new vistas for Padma through their friendship and love.
Then Sunny appears, ready to reclaim his daughter...

    An MDLG and ABDL themed love story for the age play fetishist. 
    Please note: This book contains content only appropriate for individuals interested in the MDLG subgroup of BDSM. It includes kink related themes, psychological power-play both sexual and non-sexual, sub training in diaper wetting, punishment by bondage, spankings, butt plug, and genital teasing. 
    The story is a work of fiction, and although based on multiple personal experiences, Tina Moore does not assume to speak for the entire community. She also believes that the kink is as broad and diverse as the consenting adults who engage in it, and thus there is not a ‘correct’ way to be a consenting adult involved in age play and/or regression. 
    Tina Moore would like to thank all her loyal, supportive, and loving fans. She wishes you every happiness and success and hopes that you stay safe, calm, and healthy.

    Can a Jewish man and a Muslim fall in love and marry? Love and Hope Have No Borders: An Interfaith Love Story” is a heartwarming story that beautifully captures the power of love and highlights the unyielding spirit of those who dare to reach for it.

Meet Joe Gold, a Jewish medical student sent by his father to the Zaatari Syrian refugee camp after a long, loving relationship had ended. There, he meets Alina Aziz, a young Sunni nurse with a deaf brother, Ishmael, who lost his hearing during a bombing in Syria. Their love defies the odds of religion and culture, blooming in a place where hope is scarce. Their intertwining lives and relationships force them to explore their feelings for their faith and their love for each other. This includes learning that their religions, Judaism and Islam, have many similarities. They dream of residing in the USA with Ishmael, and Alina makes it clear that she can’t leave Zaatari without her brother. However, immigration laws may prevent their hopes of a life together in America. Joe goes on a quest to navigate bureaucracy, combat family biases, and bridge the gap between the two faiths. He recruits his dad to assist him. Can Joe convince his parents that marrying a Muslim woman is all right? Will they marry? Will they be able to have a new life in the USA?
