What happens when your head and heart have different opinions? You become aware of your own struggle. Although you are aware that what your heart is saying is exactly what you want to hear, you are too obstinate to quiet your intellect. Chris Collins, the hunk of his university and upcoming CEO of his company, experienced exactly this. He has had a profound heart wound inflicted upon him once, and he will stop at nothing to prevent this from happening again. Although everyone wants to hold on to him, the barriers he has put up around his heart prevent anyone from getting through. His penetrating blue eyes and stern words have the power to tear through your heart like they did for Amber Milburn, a first-year student, and what does this mean for his future...?

Examines the "e;home front"e; war effort from an overall imperial perspective, assessing the contribution of individual imperial territories.There is increasing interest in the "e;home front"e; during the Second World War, including issues such as how people coped with rationing, how women worked to contribute to the war effort, and how civilian morale fluctuated over time. Most studies on this subject are confined to Britain, or to a single other colonial territory, neglecting the fact that Britain controlled a large Empire and that there were numerous "e;home fronts"e;, each of which contributed greatly to the war effort but each in slightly different ways. This book considers "e;home fronts"e; from an overall imperial perspective and in a broad array of territories - Australia, India, South Africa, Ceylon, Palestine and Kenya aswell as Britain. It examines many aspects of wartime life - food, communications, bombing, volunteering, internment and more, and discusses important themes including identity, gender, inequality, and the relationship between civilians and the state. Besides case studies outlining the detail of the situation in different territories and in different areas of life, the book assesses "e;home fronts"e; across the Empire in a comprehensive way, setting the case studies in their wider context, and placing the subject in, and advancing, the historiography.
