Love at the Ritz

Barbara Cartland

Sinossi

After her father, the Earl of Cuttesdale, suffers a riding injury, his lovely young daughter, Lady Vilma, accompanies him to Paris, where they are to stay at a friend’s Rue St. Honoré house while he receives treatment from a Parisian expert on backs. Because he is a proud man the Earl wants no one to know that he is temporarily disabled so they travel under one of their lesser-known names, calling themselves ‘Colonel and Miss Crawshaw’.To Vilma’s astonishment the celebrated hotelier Cézar Ritz arrives at their door with a strange request which is to borrow one of the house’s chandeliers for the hotel. After agreeing to help him, Vilma soon finds herself at the Ritz Hotel, where she has an unpleasant encounter with an over-amorous French Comte – and is rescued just in time by a dashing Englishman, the Marquis of Lynworth. Assuming that Vilma is a lowly electrician’s assistant, the Marquis is nevertheless taken with her and soon he is escorting her around Paris, introducing her to all the sights, the restaurants and sophisticated Society. And, although the handsome Marquis has all London’s Society ladies, not to mention the cocottes of Paris at his feet and, despite the fact that his mother has promised his hand in marriage to Princess Helgie of Whitenberg, he finds himself bewitched with Vilma and her enchanting beauty.. For her part, she too is deeply in love – but how can she tell him now that everything he knows about her is a lie?

Celia - The page-turning Regency...

Sophia Holloway

The page-turning Regency romance from the author of Kingscastle

First published as Bless Thine Inheritance by Sophia Holloway.
Celia Mardham's first London Season should have been a great success, but a near fatal riding accident has left her with a pronounced limp which means she cannot even curtsy, let alone dance.
Condemned it seems to spinsterhood, her mother Lady Mardham makes one last effort. She draws up a list of guests for a country house party, picking only young ladies who will not be rivals, as well as some potential suitors.
Among the gentlemen is Lord Levedale and when he meets Celia he sees her, not the limp. However, a number of accidents, misunderstandings and spiteful interventions litter the path ahead, and may succeed in driving them apart for good.

Flash and Dazzle

Lou Aronica

From the New York Times–bestselling author of The Forever Year, a “poignant” novel about best friends in crisis (Long and Short Reviews). Rich Flaster and Eric Dazman—aka Flash and Dazzle—have been friends since their college days, and they remain as tight as ever as their work starts attracting praise and attention in the advertising industry. Now Rich is being wooed by a high-profile agency in downtown Manhattan—but they have no interest in hiring his creative partner. Before Rich can bring himself to tell his best friend about the job offer, Eric receives a far more devastating piece of news: an upsetting medical diagnosis. His shy, beautiful sister arrives to give him support, and Rich is faced with an emotional challenge. He’s deceived his friend—however, there are a lot of things Eric hasn’t shared with him either. Suddenly, breaking up this two-man team takes on a more painful meaning—and, with time a precious commodity, Flash and Dazzle have to get past the superficial and connect on a deeper level.Flash and Dazzle is a story of men who have known the best of times as they come to grips with the worst of times, and of the friends and lovers who enter their orbit in relationships both brief and enduring. It is a story of legacies, burdens, and the kinds of secrets that are only revealed when there’s nothing left to tell. Funny, moving, and honest, it will inspire you to call everyone you care about and thank them for what they’ve given you. “A master storyteller. . . . He stirs emotions and senses that bring tears and laughter.” —Long and Short Reviews “A dynamic contemporary novel . . . fully engaging and worthwhile reading. Lou Aronica is a talented writer who uses subtlety rather than explicit description to depict the normalcy, quirkiness and fluctuations of honest characters.” —Crystal Book Reviews “Rich Flaster and Eric Dazman are so real; the reader will feel like they are part of the duo’s close knit friends.” —Literarily Illumined
