Wuthering Heights is a wild, passionate story of the intense and almost demonic love between Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, a foundling adopted by Catherine's father. After Mr Earnshaw's death, Heathcliff is bullied and humiliated by Catherine's brother Hindley and wrongly believing that his love for Catherine is not reciprocated, leaves Wuthering Heights, only to return years later as a wealthy and polished man. He proceeds to exact a terrible revenge for his former miseries. The action of the story is chaotic and unremittingly violent, but the accomplished handling of a complex structure, the evocative descriptions of the lonely moorland setting and the poetic grandeur of vision combine to make this unique novel a masterpiece of English literature.

"Kiss me," she said slowly to the man whose arms were wrapped tightly around her waist. "Not yet," he said in return. That was the first time she had actually heard his voice. And now she wanted to hear it over and over again. His masculinity showed in the way he spoke. Hesitantly, her arm reached up and brushed the stray piece of hair from his forehead before attempting to take his shades off. His hand touched hers on his face, and pulled her wrist away. He then took off his sunglasses, and gave her a wink. She couldn't even swoon over the wink because she was too caught up in his blue eyes. Blue eyes that resembled the ocean, eyes that screamed perfection. His hands then landed on her cheeks, and a lone index finger brushed against her lips. His other hand snaked down her waist and pulled her body closer to his own. His head then descended down and he cracked a smile. He whispered, "Pucker up now, baby." • Mia Cruz was just another twenty something year old trying to attain her dream job.
