Book Description
From Reviewers’ Choice Book of the Year nominee and bestselling author Laura Florand: Ruthless. That was what they said about Damien Rosier. Handsome. Wealthy. Powerful. Merciless. No one messed with his family, because to do so they would have to get through him. No one thought he had a heart. Not even the woman he gave his to. Cynical. That was what they said about Jasmin Bianchi. A top perfumer of her generation, Jess had achieved commercial success by growing a protective shell over a tender heart. The one time she cracked it open to let Damien in, he crushed it—after a night of unbelievable passion. Lovers. That one magical night couldn’t survive the harsh light of dawn. When Jess woke up to discover the man in bed beside her had stolen her company, she fled. Enemies. Now she’s come to the south of France with something of his. If he wants to reclaim both his family heritage and the woman who walked away from him, he’s going to have to fight as dirty as only Damien can. But Jess knows how to fight dirty, too. And these days, she has nothing left to lose. Certainly not her heart. Come explore the south of France, a world of heat and fragrance and tales as old as time, through the stories of the five powerful Rosier cousins and the women who win their hearts. A Wish Upon Jasmine, book two in Florand’s addictive new series, La Vie en Roses. “Explosive, sensual, and utterly sweet” (Eloisa James).

Book Description
Jasmine Harvey has enough on her plate dealing with the loss of her parents. The epidemic that is sweeping eastern Oregon in the late 1890s claimed their lives and their son, Eddy's, faith. He not only blames his parents for leaving him, but he blames God as well. Nothing Jasmine does seems to make a difference in her brother's bitter attitude. She begins to feel hope when the handsome and widowed Sheriff Grady Hanson approaches her with a request to school his young twins until the new teacher arrives in town. With just her and Eddy to keep up the ranch their father worked so hard to build, she doesn't know if she has time to teach the children. When Sheriff Hanson suggests he take over the work of checking the cattle and doing repairs needed around the ranch as payment, she readily agrees. The twins quickly find a place in Jasmine's heart, as does their father. When Jasmine's cattle start disappearing, will the sheriff be able to fulfill his promise of solving the case and returning the cattle? Will God grant her Wish upon a Silver Star to renew her brother's faith and bring love and happiness back into their lives?
