A bold and ghostly stand-alone from New York Times bestselling author Colleen Houck, with all the moodiness of Sleepy Hollow and all the romance her fans love.

Pages : 317
Book Description
A sweet Regency romance for all ages. Lady Daphne should dream of handsome lords coming to court, but she has little interest in her upcoming presentation. Her sister is slated to save the family coffers by marrying well, leaving Daphne to pursue other interests. The Earl of Scarborough has spoiled his younger daughter by retaining her dance instructor long past when she’s mastered all the formal dances. Little does he know this instructor has been teaching her dance only seen on the stage. His excitement in finding talent blinds him to the false dreams growing in her head of her own debut not in society’s ballrooms but in a theater. Baron Jasper Pendleton grew up in a house with divided parents who could barely suffer each other. His father’s passing left him in charge of decent, if neglected, properties, and he’s gained a reputation for how he brought them back to prosperity, but the prize for such standing is the interest of eager mothers and their daughters who, no matter how pretty, will become as waspish as his dear mother did in her husband’s presence. Love is something denied those of his bloodline, so he puts the securing of their family in his mother’s hands, his time better spent working or playing hard. When a masked dancer’s mystery and passion inflames his frozen heart, can Daphne and Jasper find love when convention sets them on opposing sides?

Closer to Perfect
Author: Justin Paul Fox
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 0595151353
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 110
Book Description
Closer to perfect is a poignant novella of both love and bereavement. Trying to recover from a loss of love, the narrator takes on a precise routine to the most minor detail. Weeks deep in this routine, he finds himself sitting at a café and notices someone not part of his monotonous flow of life, a beautiful woman. A successful writer, he builds a narrative around their potential meeting. First, he weaves a "happily-ever-after" fiction, quickly followed by a second creation that depicts the quintessential of a "love-gone-wrong." In creating these two tales, he realizes he has two choices; he can take a chance and meet her, or he can be content with imagining how perfect she might be. She could be as perfect as the first tale of love, or she could be as dreadful as the second tale of disappointment; but either way, the choice is his.
