Book Description
From the New York Times bestselling author of Devil in Disguise, the first book in her beloved Wallflowers series. The Wallflowers: four young ladies at the side of the ballroom make a pact to help each other find husbands . . . no matter what it takes. Proud and beautiful Annabelle Peyton could have her pick of suitors—if only she had a dowry. Her family is on the brink of disaster, and the only way Annabelle can save them is to marry a wealthy man. Unfortunately her most persistent admirer is the brash Simon Hunt, a handsome and ambitious entrepreneur who wants her as his mistress. Annabelle is determined to resist Simon's wicked propositions, but she can't deny her attraction to the boldly seductive rogue, any more than he can resist the challenge she presents. As they try to outmaneuver each other, they find themselves surrendering to a love more powerful than they could have ever imagined. But fate may have other plans—and it will take all of Annabelle's courage to face a peril that could destroy everything she holds dear.

His mom just might be right. All Ella wants is love for her best friend, and she's determined to set him up with someone, despite Casey's protests that he just wants to have fun, not get involved in a summer romance.

At least Casey's cute bunkmate, Gavin, appears interested in getting to know him better, making Casey rethink the whole romance thing. Until he finds out Gavin and Ryan are good friends.

A Summer's Night
Author: Stephen F. Day

ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 262
Book Description
Randy Banks is a young man just out of high school who is working in the oil business as a driller. He is the son of a man who was reared with crude oil in his veins, and he has been taught to look at women in only one way. He is a boy who learned from his father and the will of the people in the small town where he spent his childhood. Randy is mirrored by a close friend, Summer Williamson, who has the same relationship with men as he has with women only she is the daughter of the wealthiest oilman in town. The unnatural pairing of the two occurs when they are seen by the town as the perfect couple, and it reaches an unforgiving climax on a hot July night when they have both had too much to drink. The unfolding of the relationship, Summer's personal journey, the parallel roles that other people play in their lives, and the negative influence of the search for oil, money, and status takes the reader on a soul-searching journey where there is only one answer. There is also a crudeness to this story of romance that causes the reader to pause in an assessment of how a particular culture can influence and direct the lives of so many willing, and unwilling, participants. Some of it is innocent, and some of it is hard and callous. It is up to the reader to decide where the truth lies and why.

Languages : en
Pages : 293
Book Description
The path of true love never did run smooth...did it? Kelsey Anderson is stuck in a rut so big, she’ll need a 4-wheel drive to get out. She’s just been made redundant from her dead-end job, and boyfriend Fran is so busy climbing up the career ladder that he’s forgotten how to have fun. She needs to change her life – and fast. Stumbling across an advert for tour guides in Stratford-Upon-Avon seems like the perfect way to bring the sunshine back. In an impulsive move, she moves from her small Scottish village to Shakespeare’s birthplace, armed only with a suitcase and her battered copy of Shakespeare’s Sonnets. Kelsey quickly falls in love with the place, her job as a tourist guide allowing her to explore every inch of the picture-perfect town, from cosy cafes to the picturesque banks of the river. But it’s not just the town that captures her heart, as she finds herself torn between the actors Will and Jonathan who both vie for her affections. But will beautiful Peony, the lead actress at the Oklahoma theatre company where Jonathan is playing Oberon in A Midsummer Night’s Dream, play a role in keeping Kelsey and Jonathan apart? Or will flirtatious, charming Will, the fellow tour guide who has set his sights on Kelsey, keep the star-crossed lovers from finding their happy ending? A gorgeously uplifting, feel good romance that will captivate readers of Holly Martin, Cathy Bramley and Milly Johnson. Readers are loving One Summer’s Night: 'I absolutely loved this debut novel from Kiley Dunbar...I haven't enjoyed a book in this genre as much as this for a long time...I defy anyone not to be rooting for Kelsey and booking a mini-break to Stratford when they finish this book!
