Sinossi

"A Christmas Tree and a Wedding" is a short story by Fyodor Dostoevsky that captures the essence of the holiday season while also exploring themes of love, sacrifice, and the human condition.

In the story, the narrator reflects on a particular Christmas when he was a child, recalling the joy and excitement of the holiday festivities. Amidst the celebrations, the family receives news of a wedding taking place nearby. The contrast between the joyous Christmas festivities and the solemnity of the wedding ceremony serves as a backdrop for the deeper exploration of human emotions and relationships.

As the narrator observes the wedding procession passing by, he muses on the nature of love and commitment, contemplating the significance of marriage and the sacrifices it entails. The juxtaposition of the two events - the jubilant Christmas celebrations and the solemn wedding procession - prompts the narrator to reflect on the complexities of human experience and the interplay between joy and sorrow in life.

Through "A Christmas Tree and a Wedding," Dostoevsky offers readers a poignant meditation on the meaning of love, family, and the passage of time, inviting them to contemplate the deeper aspects of the human spirit amidst the backdrop of holiday cheer and celebration.

    To gain the woman he loves, he will have to be the Dom she desires. 
    Navy SEAL Malachai Dupree has everything a man could want. Well, not everything. The one woman he wants is the one he thinks he can’t have. In his opinion young widow Amanda Forrester is too innocent for his Dominant needs, so he plays the role of supportive friend even if it kills him. 
    Amanda is tired of being treated as if she were fragile. She might have been through a rough patch losing her husband in the line of duty, but she is not a wimp. Through the last few months, the feelings she has for Mal are more than just friendly. She is more than ready to be the woman he needs in and out of the bedroom. One night she pushes him too far and the result is more than either of them ever expected. 
    Mal wants forever, but after losing one husband to the service, commitment is just not in Amanda’s vocabulary. What Amanda doesn’t realize is that Mal is one Seal who isn’t backing down until he gets exactly what he wants: Amanda’s total submission. 
    WARNING, the following book contains: Sexy Navy Seals, a stubborn woman, and of course, a little submission. This book has one of those hot Duprees, so you know that you will need a glass of water to cool off. Every Addict will tell you that reading a Harmless book is anything BUT harmless—so read at your own risk.
