Book Description
It was Friday, 7pm in evening. Weather was pleasant at Marina beach, Chennai, India. Mild air was flowing slowly. Sky was clean and blue. Tides could be seen in the blue ocean. A huge crowd were enjoying weekend that was just started. People from various parts of India could be seen there as well as some foreigner tourists too. One group of four people were throwing ball in to the ocean and trying to catch it when it was coming back to them along with tide. There was a See saw, Carousel, Ferris wheel, and few more rides were available for kids and you could see them enjoying all those rides. Variety of fresh seafoods was available on mostly all tent shops for those who love eating it. A young and beautiful girl, 18, Lisa was waiting there for her boyfriend Joe. She was resting on a boat that was kept idle near the beach on the sand. A couple beside her was flirting with each other. Lisa was happy to see them as her life was similar to them – a happy and complete love life. She was continuously checking time on her wrist watch as it appeared that Joe is getting late. Someone whispered “Love you my Lisa” she turned back and saw. It was none other than Joe. She tried to show some angriness and said “Go back. I don’t want to talk to you. Do you know since last 20 minutes I am waiting for you!” “You are very sweet and look much beautiful when you smile. I am very sorry for coming late.” Joe said and touched his ears with his hands. It was like he was asking Lisa to excuse him for coming late. “OK OK. I was just kidding my love.” Lisa hugged him and added “You know that we get very less time everyday to meet and in that less time 20 minutes worth a lot.” Joe kept his office bag on sand. He folded his jeans from the bottom to avoid getting it wet in the water. He opened his shoes and socks. Lisa pushed her nose with her fingers as she was sure that his socks are going to smell again. “Why do you wear same socks for more than one day? It is not hygienic and very bad for health.” Lisa scolded “Marry me and then the problem will be resolved.” Joe laughed and said “It’s not a joke, ok!” She too kept her purse and sandals there and both went to play in beach water with naked feet. After playing for some time they returned back to the place where they kept their belongings. Lisa sat on the sand. Joe lay down and kept his head on her lap. Lisa started combing his hair with her fingers with her one hand and another hand was on his chick. “You know that your lap is the best and quite place in the world. I feel relaxed. I feel peace. It throws away all my worries. I feel like god is fulfilling all my wishes.” Joe was feeling fortunate to have Lisa in his life. He added “It is my wish to love you in morning and evening, in day and night, and forever. You are always in my mind. I can’t even live without thinking of you. Sometime I smile without any reason and then realize that you are in my mind.” She was listening to it very silently and carefully. “I love you so much and at the same time I fear to loss you too. I don’t know why? What if I lost you someday? You have become my breath. You are my soul. I am habitual of you. I am addicted of you. You are the necessity of my life. I will almost die if you ever go away because of any reason.” “Just be positive my love. I am sure such thing will never happen. I am planning to meet your parents tomorrow after we meet here again on this beach. I will clearly tell your father that I want to marry you. I am confident that he will agree.” “Wow… Really! You are so sweet. Thank you so much. I will be the happier woman in the world to have you in my real life. I am now eagerly waiting for tomorrow. I am now able to see my better tomorrow. I see my dream is becoming true.” “I will be happier to have you too in my real life.” Joe said. He added “I am feeling hungry now. Let’s go to have dinner.”

Book Description
BRIGHTON BEAUTY is a clean, sweet, traditional Regency Romance set in London and the Medieval city of Chester. Chelsea Grant hadn’t planned to be a deceiver! She had been the prettiest—and most penniless—young lady at Miss Farringdon’s Academy in Brighton. Befriending spoiled heiress Alayna Marchmont and telling her about a family scandal was a schoolgirl’s naïve mistake. Now, Alayna has blackmailed Chelsea into agreeing to spend a dull month in the country with Alayna’s elderly aunt, while pretending to be Alayna! The plan might have worked but for one unforeseen occurrence, the arrival of Aunt Millicent’s nephew, Lord Rathbone, who came to England to claim his bride, Miss Marchmont, sight unseen. Rathbone is not disappointed with his “fiancée.” As for Chelsea, she’s falling in love with the handsome, albeit misled, nobleman. This affair of the heart could lead to disaster, unless a resourceful Brighton beauty can find a way to stop a foolish masquerade without losing a handsome lord’s love. (Also published in Ebook as A Pretty Puzzle.) “The pressure never lets up on this hero and heroine!” – Melissa Frederick. “A fun read!”– Bestselling author, Patricia Rice.
