Beschreibung

There is something strangely noble and also delicate about the emaciated young ragamuffin boy that the handsome Hugo, Lord Lynke, finds himself employing as his new page on his undercover mission to Spain on behalf of the King of England.  The page he has brought with from England had just been taken ill and so has to return home. The ‘boy’ is named Venturo. In fact ‘he’ is Ventura – the lost daughter of a noble and rich Spanish dynasty.Lord Lynke’s task is to marry the richest and most beautiful woman in Spain to ensure peace between the two countries which are invariably at war with each other. She is the proud, imperious and dangerous seductress Doña Alcira and this marriage would prove no great challenge for a Nobleman of Lord Lynke’s calibre and renown.Except that he faces Don Carlos, a powerful and unscrupulous suitor determined to erase any competition for Doña Alcira’s hand. She has a glamorous and dangerous matador as her current lover and employs a besotted and sinister dwarf who she uses as her assassin.The sweet adventure soon turns sour.  And when young Ventura overhears those who would murder the Lord of her heart, she realises that her own heart has no life without him.

    Can a rundown bookmobile be the vehicle that brings two unlikely hearts together?  
     
    Little Creek's bookmobile is more of a death trap on wheels than a vehicle of literary delights, and circulation librarian Hayley Holt is afraid it's going to careen down a mountainside with her in it. Yet she sees it as a way to serve her community and be worthy of the liver transplant that saved her life as a child. However, her fears come true when the bookmobile breaks down and a rockslide traps her in the small hollow of Turkey Grove. 
     
    Reclusive mechanic Levi Redding lives in tiny Turkey Grove to get away from people. He can handle getting the bookmobile running again, but the endless chatter and unsettling touches from the vibrant librarian leave him overstimulated. When forced proximity leads to a misunderstanding, a note of apology begins an epistolary friendship, proving that sometimes the happiest of endings aren't contained within the bindings of a book.  
     
    "I can always count on Sarah Monzon for romance that makes me swoon and inspiring stories that keep me fully engaged."--BETHANY TURNER, author of Cole and Laila Are Just Friends: A Love Story  
     
    Sarah Monzon pens a charming contemporary rom-com for fans of books about books, the forced-proximity and grumpy-sunshine tropes, and pen-pal romances. Fans of Melissa Ferguson and Pepper Basham will find this no-spice, heartwarming love story magnetic.

    Sizzling-hot and seriously funny. Who said your forties couldn’t be both? 
    Katrina Viceroy is a recently divorced mother of two, and the proud new owner of a flat tire… until leather-clad motorcycle hottie, Mac Blair, arrives to save the day. 
     
    Mac is the exact opposite of Trina’s ex-husband. He’s got bad boy etched into every line of his muscular body, for one. Not to mention that gravelly, deep voice he uses to order her around. 
     
    Things like, “Swing that pretty leg over my bike,” and, “Hold on tight,” and, “Here’s my number; call me.” 
     
    When he’s got her frazzled and panting, Mac just...rides off. 
     
    Honestly, the nerve! 
    Apropos nothing, does anyone have a phone she can borrow? 
     
    The old Trina would have ignored the phone number burning a hole in her pocket, but the new and improved (read: divorced) Trina? 
     
    She’s calling. Even if it ends up being a total disaster. 
     
    Spoiler alert: it most certainly does
