Book Description
A witty tale of passions and practicalities in Regency England from the “powerful and wonderfully perceptive” RITA Award–winning author (Mary Jo Putney, New York Times–bestselling author of Lady of Fortune). Sally Paul is down to her last penny. As she spends it on a cup of tea—to stave off being at the mercy of the workhouse—the last thing she expects is an offer of marriage . . . from a complete stranger! Admiral Sir Charles Bright’s seafaring days are over—and according to society, that must mean he’s in need of a wife. Discovering that Sally’s in need of a home, he offers a solution. . . . They marry in haste. But will they enjoy their wedding night at leisure? “It is always a joy to read a Carla Kelly love story. Always original, always superb.” —RT Book Reviews “Kelly has the rare ability to create realistic yet sympathetic characters that linger in the mind.” —Library Journal

Book Description
From riches to rags, Grace has had to swallow her pride and get a job as a baker. But everything changes when she's the beneficiary of a surprise inheritance. Her benefactor's deal comes with a catch: give up her life of toil and live in luxury only if she marries his illegitimate son, a prisoner of war. It's an offer she can't afford to refuse. But her husband-to-be is dying, and he begs her to take one of his men instead--to marry purely out of mercy.... A marriage of convenience with a complete stranger... Could this arrangement ever work?

Book Description
This celebrated collection of sketches sparkles with Stephen Leacock’s humour and shines with the warmth of his wit. The comical E.P., star of the title essay, “My Remarkable Uncle,” is a classic Leacock character. He is president of a railway with a letterhead but no rails, and he heads a bank that boasts credit but no cash whatsoever – all of which trouble E.P. not in the least. My Remarkable Uncle, a wonderful smorgasbord of mirth served up by a master of comedy, includes several essays, a short story, a political parable, and personal reflections on a dizzying array of subjects. Here, in rich abundance, are the inspired nonsense and the unerring eye for human folly that have made Stephen Leacock Canada’s most celebrated humorist.
