Paradise Postponed (Not Quite Eden)

Dominique Kyle

This is a modern country, right? Race and religion aren't supposed to matter these days. A girl has a right to love who she wants to. You’d hope that honour killing couldn’t happen here…When Nasim’s Muslim parents find out about her Hindu boyfriend, Rajesh, she runs away to the only friend she believes can protect her – the outspoken and confrontational Eve McGinty. Meanwhile, Eve’s relationship with her boyfriend Quinn isn’t going smoothly. When she discovers that he has been working as a mechanic for a successful Formula One stock car driver and deliberately leaving her out of the fun, she is determined to muscle in on the action. She rashly boasts to Quinn that she herself is about to become a Formula Two stock car driver. Now she has to set about making this a reality, or risk losing face. As Nasim's family becomes increasingly threatening, Eve’s father warns her not to get involved in another culture’s fight. Great advice, but Nasim is Eve’s friend. Of course she’s involved. And Eve will never let anyone hurt her friend.
