  Annamae Hartman shouldn’t be alive. After nearly dying from a fever that addled her brain, she doesn’t take anything for granted and has found joy again in the simple things. No matter how much Sawyer Mills brings her joy, he is not simple! When she refuses to see him after a botched proposal, the last thing she expected was to be quarantined with him, alone, with the same fever that nearly claimed her life. When the minister insists, Annamae marries Sawyer for proprietary’s sake. She does it reluctantly and ends up half-married to a man who has no recollection of the wedding! 
  Sawyer Mills is quite content with his life. His job is physically demanding, and he relishes every minute of it. What he doesn’t expect is to be stricken with a deadly fever in the middle of summer, and to be taken care of by the very woman that turned down his proposal just months before! He knows he messed up but plans on using every moment they have together to court Annamae the way he intended. 
  As Annamae nurses him back to health, can he convince her to take a second chance on his proposal? When Sawyer realizes that Annamae has lied to him about marriage, will he find it in his heart to forgive her? What happens when Sawyer decides that maybe his feelings and their half-marriage are too real to ignore?

  Let Top 5 bestselling author Kate Frost whisk you away to Kefalonia and Villa Aster where the sun shines and the Ionian sea glistens... 
  Can a Greek escape be the start of something special? 
  Xanthe Fox has it all: a famous, drop-dead gorgeous boyfriend, a dream career and bright future – until heartbreak sends her life into a tailspin. 
  So when Xanthe’s Greek godmother unexpectedly leaves her a villa on the sumptuous island of Kefalonia, Xanthe jumps at the chance to put her life in London on hold and escape to the island hideaway to rethink her future. 
  The break allows Xanthe the time to explore her passions, sift through her feelings and discover more about her estranged Greek family while renovating her godmother’s enchanting Villa Aster. 
  But not everyone is happy to see her. Unfazed by her hostile neighbours and after making a mortifying mistake with a sexy builder, Xanthe is equally charmed by Kefalonia and a handsome, brooding gardener. 
  Chasing dreams, taking chances and saying ‘yes’ has the potential to turn Xanthe’s life upside down, but will a summer escape allow her to sparkle once more?

  There is something about the number 3.    
   
  The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two.   
   
  Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois.  It seems good things usually come in threes. 
   
  Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating. 
   
  From their pens to your your ears.

  The Importance Of Being Earnest...

  "The Importance of Being Earnest" is a comedic play written by Oscar Wilde, first performed in 1895. Regarded as one of Wilde's masterpieces, the play is celebrated for its wit, humor, and satirical examination of the social conventions and manners of the Victorian era. The plot revolves around the lives of two friends, Algernon Moncrieff and Jack Worthing. To escape social obligations and responsibilities, both men create fictional identities. Algernon invents an imaginary friend named "Bunbury," whom he uses as an excuse to avoid unwelcome social events. On the other hand, Jack assumes the identity of "Ernest" whenever he wishes to engage in more adventurous and carefree pursuits in the city. 
   
  The central conflict arises when both Algernon and Jack become romantically involved with women who are attracted to the name "Ernest." Gwendolen Fairfax, Jack's love interest, is enamored with the idea of marrying a man named Ernest, while Algernon's romantic pursuit, Cecily Cardew, shares the same sentiment. The play cleverly exploits the comedic potential of mistaken identities, love affairs, and the absurdity of social expectations. Wilde's razor-sharp wit is evident in the dialogue, filled with epigrams, puns, and clever wordplay. The characters engage in delightful banter, and the play satirizes the trivialities of upper-class society while highlighting the importance placed on appearances and social status. "The Importance of Being Earnest" is known for its comedic absurdity, intricate plot twists, and exploration of the theme of identity. Beyond the surface-level humor, Wilde uses the play to critique the hypocrisy and artificiality of societal norms, exposing the ridiculousness of the characters' obsessions with names and titles.

  The Sword of Wealth

  "A week before the day set for her wedding, in a bright hour of early April, Hera rode forth from the park of Villa Barbiondi. Following the margin of the river, she trotted her horse to where the shores lay coupled by a bridge of pontoons—an ancient device of small boats and planking little different from the sort Cæsar’s soldiers threw across the same stream. She drew up and watched the strife going on between the bridge and the current—the boats straining at their anchor-chains and the water rioting between them. 
  Italy has no lovelier valley than the one where flowed the river on which she looked, and in the gentler season there is no water-course more expressive of serene human character. But the river was tipsy to-day. The springtime sun, in its passages of splendour from Alp to Alp, had set free the winter snows, and Old Adda, flushed by his many cups, frolicked ruthlessly to the sea. 
  Peasant folk in that part of the Brianza had smiled a few days earlier to see the great stream change its sombre green for an earthy hue, because it was a promise of the vernal awakening. Yet their joy was shadowed, as it always is in freshet days, by dread of the havoc so often attending the spree of the waters." 
  The sword of wealth by Henry Wilton Thomas.
