Beautiful dark-skinned Veronica Martinson is co-owner of a successful oceanfront hotel. Her life could not get any sweeter. But, when the aunt who has been a mother to her dies, she begins to yearn for more. Organized, driven and headstrong, Veronica is left with doubts about her personal life. She contrives a plan to get artificial insemination. The only problem is she cannot seem to find a match. The hotel has a costume charity auction and Veronica's bid wins her an evening with a man dressed as a cop--Mark Latten. Her search ends, when she decides brown hair, blue-eyed Mark, her best friend and co-owner, would be the perfect father. The only problem is he refuses to assist her unless they conceived the child the old-fashioned way, beginning with a ring. Veronica, who has always reached every goal she has set out to achieve, views the wedding to her friend as a snag in her overall plan. Unable to deny herself the baby she wants, they marry and becomes pregnant. Struggling with her own inadequacies, Veronica attempts to push Mark and the child away. Until the night, she's faced with losing everything and realizes that sometimes dreams are fulfilled in unlikely packages

Mika whimpered as she took a step forward, feeling each rib of the rope raking across her tight pussy sending shivers of pleasure through her entire body. “Focus,” she whispered to herself, trying her best to ignore her surroundings, ignore the feelings, which pressed upon her like a razorblade scraping across her flesh. “Ignore it… ignore the feeling,” Mika thought as she took another step towards the far wall, again feeling each rib, each hard spur of the rope pressing up inside her. “I… I think I…,” Mika paused mid thought as she gazed down at the rope, feeling the first knot pressing against her opening,

The relationship of the Chishti Sufis with the political authorities has been quite controversial. After the inception of the Chishti Silsilah in India in the last decade of the twelfth century by Khwajah Mu'in al-Din Chishti of Ajmer, the Chishtis, in line with their traditions in Persia, made it a definite policy to keep a distance from the rulers by not accepting state services, rejecting lands grants and titles from the rulers, and by not visiting the royal court, or welcoming the Sultans to their khanqahs. By doing so, the early Chishtis in India carved out a space, or an environment for independent action and practice of Chishti principles, free from the interference of the state in the Sultanate of Delhi during the next two centuries. However, this space was contested both by the rulers and some of the ulama or religious scholars on varied counts. In subsequent decades, the space was preserved and expanded by the Chishtis, employing multiple strategies, while the state tried to encroach on it, which the Chishtis severely resisted. Later, in response to state manoeuvring and containment of the space, the Chishti Shaykhs defended and considerably realigned it, whereas their descendants negotiated it with the rulers for their own benefits.
