Beschreibung

A Tale of Two Cities is a novel by Charles Dickens, set in London and Paris before and during the French Revolution. With well over 200 million copies sold, it ranks among the most famous works in the history of fictional literature. The novel depicts the plight of the French peasantry demoralised by the French aristocracy in the years leading up to the revolution, the corresponding brutality demonstrated by the revolutionaries toward the former aristocrats in the early years of the revolution, and many unflattering social parallels with life in London during the same time period. It follows the lives of several protagonists through these events. The most notable are Charles Darnay and Sydney Carton. Darnay is a former French aristocrat who falls victim to the indiscriminate wrath of the revolution despite his virtuous nature, and Carton is a dissipated English barrister who endeavors to redeem his ill-spent life out of his unrequited love for Darnay's wife.

    Framed for murder… 
    Private investigator Sienna Evans is searching for a missing woman when a tip leads her onto a boat with a dead man. He’s been shot with her gun, and the police believe she’s the killer. Arrested and charged, Sienna is shocked when she’s bailed out of jail by her ex-fiancé, Eli. She hasn’t seen him in five years, not since he walked away from her and their relationship. 
    Texas Ranger Elijah Goodwin doesn’t give second changes. His childhood taught him a strict adherence to the rules leads to success. Failing in love with Sienna was the only time he deviated from doing the smart thing—and it blew up in his face. Still, when he discovers she’s been charged with murder, nothing will stop him from coming to her defense. The infuriating woman is many things—gorgeous, brave, and stubborn—but she’s no killer. 
    Digging for answers thrusts Sienna and Eli into a case with far deeper implications that either anticipated. As the threats increase, Eli vows to keep Sienna safe, but protecting her may cost him everything. His heart. His career. Even his life.

    For fans of Lyssa Kay Adams and Jen DeLuca comes this fresh, funny take on second chances that proves love is anything but trivial. For family-focused Charlotte, the chance to compete on her favorite trivia game show is a dream come true—the prize money could ensure the best care for her aging grandmother. But when she arrives on set, who does she see among the other contestants? Eli, her high school first love, at least until their shattering breakup. He has his own reasons for competing, not least of which is the stress of multiple jobs, college courses, and a father who has had multiple run-ins with the law. When the casting department pairs them on a team, both Charlotte and Eli are determined to grit their teeth and make the best of it. That’s easier said than done, of course, and before long a national audience is breathlessly watching them bicker and air years-old grudges. Far from being angry, the program’s producers are ecstatic—the ratings are positively soaring. As they compete together over several episodes of the show, Charlotte and Eli begin to suspect that old wounds might actually heal. Touring L.A. in their free time has given them the opportunity to get to know each other again—and reawakened feelings that are hard to resist. Until the show’s producers throw a wrench in their hopeful plans that will compromise everything Charlotte and Eli have worked so hard for. Kelly Ohlert’s warm, witty second novel proves that the best thing to know is always your own heart.
