Book Description
Regency England has never seen wallflowers like these—women overlooked by society but armed with wit, courage, and a thirst for justice. In A Wallflower's Sassy Revenge, five delightful stories unfold as bold heroines take charge of their destinies, proving that love and redemption often come in the most unexpected ways. In Jane Charles's A Scoundrel's Secret, Miss Carina Leonelli, the companion of a dear friend, guards her heart even as a coachman with a secret, Mr. Felix Knight, fights to win it. But can their budding romance survive the truth of Felix's hidden identity? Jude Knight's The Blossoming of the Wallflower brings us Merrilyn Parkham-Smythe, a determined gardener who clashes with the dashing but awkward Sir Darius Finchwater. Their witty war over a damaged garden sparks an unexpected romance that blooms amid misunderstandings. Lady Mimolette Lindsey plots her revenge against the snubbing society bucks in The Wallflower Trap by B.W. Haggart. But her carefully laid plans for matchmaking and mischief are interrupted by the arrogant yet intriguing Major Lord John Tremaine, who might just become her unexpected partner in love. Meanwhile, Alina K. Field's A Wallflower's Midsummer Night's Caper follows Nancy Lovelace as she seeks vengeance against Simon Crayding, the man who tarnished her debut Season. Yet amidst the festivities of a masquerade, Nancy's schemes may just lead her straight into the arms of the man she swore to despise. Finally, in Sandra Sookoo's The Wallflower's Scandalous Proposal, Miss Penelope Watterson is determined to reclaim her life after years of exile. But when she confronts Adam Coventry, the Viscount of Maplecrest—and the man she blames for her family's ruin—their fiery animosity ignites into a second chance at love, where buried truths and passionate revelations change everything. A Wallflower's Sassy Revenge is a collection of heartwarming, sweet Regency romances filled with clever heroines, charming heroes, and the triumph of love over scandal. Perfect for readers who adore wit, humor, and a touch of mischief, this anthology will leave you swooning and cheering for these unforgettable wallflowers!

A kiss in the gardens. A ruined reputation. A wager without a winner. Having been caught kissing an earl’s heir in the gardens during a ball, Miss Lucy Fitzsimmons has been relegated to the company of potted palms and wallflowers at London entertainments. Despite behaving as a perfect young lady up until that fateful night, she knows time won’t lessen the stain on her reputation. She’ll rarely be asked to dance, nor does she expect to be courted by anyone, but then given the terms of the wager, she won’t need to—her brother apparently gave the rake permission to court her! One thing is certain—when Marcus Higgins returns in two years, she intends to collect what she’s owed. They had made a wager, and she won. Meanwhile, Marcus has disappeared from London. The second son of the late Earl of Greenley, he left on a Grand Tour the day after he accepted the terms of a wager and kissed the young woman he has secretly been in love with since they were children. Two years away from her will be torture—he can’t get her out of his mind. His only saving grace is they made a wager, and he’s quite sure he was the winner.

How Sassy Changed My Life
Author: Kara Jesella
Publisher: Farrar, Straus and Giroux
ISBN: 1466821612
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 144
Book Description
For a generation of teenage girls, Sassy magazine was nothing short of revolutionary—so much so that its audience, which stretched from tweens to twentysomething women, remains obsessed with it to this day and back issues are sold for hefty sums on the Internet. For its brief but brilliant run from 1988 to 1994, Sassy was the arbiter of all that was hip and cool, inspiring a dogged devotion from its readers while almost single-handedly bringing the idea of girl culture to the mainstream. In the process, Sassy changed the face of teen magazines in the United States, paved the way for the unedited voice of blogs, and influenced the current crop of smart women's zines, such as Bust and Bitch, that currently hold sway. How Sassy Changed My Life will present for the first time the inside story of the magazine's rise and fall while celebrating its unique vision and lasting impact. Through interviews with the staff, columnists, and favorite personalities we are brought behind the scenes from its launch to its final issue and witness its unique fusion of feminism and femininity, its frank commentary on taboo topics like teen sex and suicide, its battles with advertisers and the religious right, and the ascension of its writers from anonymous staffers to celebrities in their own right.

Languages : en
Pages : 193
Book Description
A 40th anniversary reissue of the national bestselling author's hilarious first novel that memorably mixed food, heartbreak, and revenge into a comic masterpiece—now with a new foreword by Stanley Tucci. • "Touching and funny.... Proof that writing well is the best revenge." —Chicago Tribune Is it possible to write a sidesplitting novel about the breakup of the perfect marriage? If the writer is Nora Ephron, the answer is a resounding yes. In this inspired confection of adultery, revenge, group therapy, and pot roast, the creator of Sleepless in Seattle and When Harry Met Sally... reminds us that comedy depends on anguish as surely as a proper gravy depends on flour and butter. Seven months into her pregnancy, Rachel Samstat discovers that her husband, Mark, is in love with another woman. The fact that the other woman has "a neck as long as an arm and a nose as long as a thumb and you should see her legs" is no consolation. Food sometimes is, though, since Rachel writes cookbooks for a living. And in between trying to win Mark back and loudly wishing him dead, Ephron's irrepressible heroine offers some of her favorite recipes. Heartburn is a sinfully delicious novel, as soul-satisfying as mashed potatoes and as airy as a perfect soufflé.
