Book Description
All of the travel literature described Korea as the "Land of the Morning Calm." So naturally when Jake St. Gregory, a thirty-year-old accountant from Burbank, California, accepts a teaching position in Seoul, he expects a serene escape. Instead, he finds himself in a chaotic relationship, hospitalized, scrambling for money, and then jailed. His pending deportation should come as a relief. But Jake can't bear the thought of losing Jae-Min, the woman who is the one source of true happiness in his life. Jae-Min, the wife of an abusive husband, has her own turmoil to resolve. Torn between the old Korea and the emerging one, between kimchi and McDonald's fries, she symbolizes that country's lost generation. In this tale, set during a pivotal time, their mutual search for happiness draws them together. Ultimately, it might be a fracturing nation that keeps them apart.

Dear Diary, Four years have passed since the utter humiliation of my wedding night. But it seems like just yesterday that my husband left me--before consummating our marriage.

I have my own life to lead, and my own secret, romantic novels to write. Samuel Firth has no place in my world.

He says he will not grant it--unless I agree to play the role of his wife until his place in Society has been secured. I knew he only married me for my noble name! Yes, I was forced to agree to his sordid scheme. But if he thinks that our bargain grants him access to my bed, then he shall be sorely disappointed. In truth, it shall be quite amusing to lead him on--and then spurn him as he once spurned me! From the private diary of Lady Cassandra Firth

A free luxury wedding gives two strangers a second chance at love in this charming contemporary romance novel in the Charton Minster series. Cat Aston thought she hit the jackpot when she won a fairytale wedding in a luxury hotel. But now that her finance has run out on her, her dreams of wedded bliss have turned into a nightmare. But still, no woman in her right mind would turn down a free wedding of a lifetime. Now she just needs to find a groom . . . Adam Lawley was left devastated when his girlfriend turned down his heartfelt proposal and he’s vowed to never love again. But something keeps pulling him toward Cat. They’ve both been burned by love—so why can’t they stop thinking about each other? It might be too good to be true, or it just might be their second chance for true love—complete with a happily ever after. “In this wildly passionate, touching and sometimes funny story, James portrays two brokenhearted souls who connect and magically find a way to love again. Most of the book has an offbeat, almost fairy-tale feel, but it’s uplifting and satisfying. James spins her story with hope in mind, and her characters help us believe in castles in the air without equivocation.” —RT Book Reviews
