Sinossi

This edition includes the following editor's introduction: Edith Wharton, the feminism of a Pulitzer Prize winner


Originally published in 1916, “Bunner Sisters” is a novella by American author Edith Wharton. Inexplicably, this work has had a long history of being overlooked. Rejected twice by Scribner’s because of its length and its ‘being unsuitable to serial publication’, it was eventually published in the collection “Xingu and Other Stories” and is now considered an essential work of American literature.

"Bunner Sisters" takes place in a shabby neighbourhood in New York City. The two Bunner sisters, Ann Eliza the elder, and Evelina the younger, keep a small shop selling artificial flowers and small handsewn articles to Stuyvesant Square's female population.
Ann Eliza gives Evelina a clock for her birthday. The purchase introduces them to the clockmaker, Mr. Ramy, and sets them on a course that will change their lives forever.

    Description:
    Three years ago, Joyce made the most painful decision of her life and walked away from Ethan, the love of her life, without a word. Now, fate cruelly throws them back together when Ethan, now a powerful and cold executive, arrives as the VIP client at the hotel where Joyce works. Forced into a professional encounter, the space between them is just one step in the elevator, but the emotional chasm feels unbridgeable. Haunted by a past filled with family opposition, sacrifice, and a devastating secret, Joyce must navigate the treacherous waters of corporate politics and her own shattered heart. As old wounds reopen and unspoken truths simmer beneath the surface, they are forced to confront the burning question: Can love overcome the distance of betrayal and time, or are some steps truly too far to take back? A poignant and gripping tale of love, loss, and the fragile hope of a second chance.

    Can a librarian's matchmaking mischief lead to a love that rewrites their stories? 
     
    If the covers of every romance book ever published didn't convince librarian Evangeline Kelly that she isn't heroine material, her fiancé calling off their wedding when she lost her hair to alopecia did. But what's a girl head over heels for love to do when her feelings are unrequited? Matchmake, that's what. Armed with library patrons' check-out histories, she's determined to make at least one love connection--even if it's not her own.  
     
    Tattoo artist Tai Davis is used to people judging him with a single glance, so it doesn't surprise him when the town's quirky new librarian believes his bad-boy reputation without giving him a chance. He can't help being intrigued by her, though, so when he discovers Evangeline's secret matchmaking scheme, he's not above striking a bargain with her. She just has to agree to one date with him for every time she uses his hometown knowledge to set up library patrons on a romantic rendezvous. The deal is made, but in the process, they both might learn you can't judge a book--or each other--by the cover.  
     
    "With a uniquely heartfelt message, lovable characters, and laugh-out-loud moments, Sarah Monzon's novel is a delight!"--MELISSA FERGUSON, bestselling author of How to Plot a Payback 
     
    This is a sweet he-falls-first, opposites attract, matchmaker romantic comedy with disability representation. Perfect for fans of books about books and kisses-only romances.

    A Rejected Mate, Power-Rewriting Paranormal RomanceAt Crestwood University, power hides behind privilege—and fate bites without permission. Veronica Hart has survived by staying invisible, until a rooftop party under a full moon ends with a cruel Alpha’s teeth at her throat. Marked publicly, awakened violently, and discarded just as easily, she becomes something far more dangerous than broken: unfinished. Her body burns with half-formed power, her senses sharpen to pain, and whispers follow her through campus halls that suddenly feel hostile and alive.As packs circle and the Alpha who rejected her watches with possessive fury, a quiet transfer student arrives. Damon McCann does not announce himself. He does not claim. But when his gaze meets Veronica’s, the fractured bond inside her reacts with force that cannot be denied. Their connection grows in stolen moments—charged silences in libraries, midnight confessions by the cliffs, and a bond that refuses to obey the rules of dominance or destiny. When he marks her to save her life, the act ignites a truth the supernatural world buried long ago.What follows is not just a romance, but a reckoning. Moonlit battles erupt across campus. Ancient laws surface, designed to cage rather than protect. A trial by blood threatens to claim everything Veronica loves. And when she learns the prophecy was never about a king returning—but about her—she must choose whether to submit, stand beside a crown, or tear the entire system apart.Marked Twice by the Alpha King is a slow-burn, emotionally feral paranormal romance where rejection forges strength, desire reshapes power, and love is chosen—not commanded. If you crave intense chemistry, bold heroines, and a world where one woman rewrites the rules of fate itself, this story is waiting for you.Open the book. Step into Crestwood. And discover what happens when the marked one refuses to kneel.
