Dear Enemy

Jean Webster

Beschreibung

Dear Judy:Your letter is here. I have read it twice, and with amazement. Do I understand that Jervis has given you, for a Christmas present, the making over of the John Grier Home into a model institution, and that you have chosen me to disburse the money? Me—I, Sallie McBride, the head of an orphan asylum! My poor people, have you lost your senses, or have you become addicted to the use of opium, and is this the raving of two fevered imaginations? I am exactly as well fitted to take care of one hundred children as to become the curator of a zoo.

Loving an Honorable Man

Christine Sterling

Tired of four older brothers scaring off every suitor, Alice decides to take matters into her own hands. What she didn’t expect was for the family’s childhood friend to notice how grown-up she was, and vow to protect her, even if it is from her own family.
Alice Chapman ran away from home to be with a man she thought would love, honor, and cherish her. When her dreams turned into nightmares she is finally rescued and brought back home to Flat River, Nebraska. Now she has no prospects of ever getting married because most men consider her damaged goods. What she didn't expect was her best friend's older brother noticing her. She would love an opportunity to get to know Chat Hartman again, but her pesky older brothers stand in the way!
Chat Hartman has other things on his mind than starting a romance with anyone. He must deal with the death of the man he thought was his father and the realization that his real father lived right next door. Then why is he so drawn to the shy Alice Chapman? He knows she lived through a terrible ordeal, and it crushed her outgoing personality. It doesn't help that he has a long-standing feud with her older brothers, which intensifies due to a misunderstanding in town.
Can Chat fight the attraction he has for Alice? When he proposes a marriage of convenience, will he be able to solve both of their problems? Will Alice ever feel safe in the dark again; and is her heart in danger once more from the handsome man determined to rescue her from her past?
This book was originally titled ALICE and released as part of the series called The Chapmans. It has been retitled and incorporated into the First Families of Flat River so the series may be expanded and include many new stories for you to enjoy, not just limiting it to one family. Nothing else has changed from when it was originally published.
