Sinopse

Charlie Peach’s Pumpkins and other stories’ is Jenny Sanders’ second collection of six humorous tales. Once again, she treats her readers to quirky characters and another abundance of welcome nonsense. This time, you’ll be taken from a disastrous garden experiment which finds success from an unlikely source, to the new ambassador’s attempts to solve an international crisis in Carletia, and to a crumbling castle which threatens to wipe out the fortunes of the former residents. An enterprising skateboarder tries to save his grand-father’s reputation with an impromptu wine-tasting session; the monarchy in Sloping-Sideways explore solutions to their secret boredom; and an inventor looks to her famous heritage to help her godson escape his school bullies.

    The North name is a heavy burden. Two things I learned young—the best way to keep my head on is to keep my head down, and . . . never fall in love. 
     
     
     
    But I'm a sucker for a damsel in distress. 
     
     
     
    Lillian came into my life swinging. Mistaking me for my abusive twin brother, she greets me with a swift kick to the balls and a busted lip. Then she really shakes up my world. 
     
     
     
    She needs her job, but she needs a break just as much. And nothing silences my demons as efficiently as playing the hero. 
     
     
     
    To protect her from my jerk twin—her boss—I take her on a business trip and quickly learn that she's different. Blunt. Honest. Intriguingly strange. I'm transfixed, so when she unknowingly sinks a multimillion-dollar deal, I don't speak up. Something my family won't forgive. 
     
     
     
    Now, I have a choice to make. I can go against my own blood and burn the North legacy to the ground, or play it safe, commit to my self-imposed rules and predestined future. Choosing her would ruin my life as I know it, but I'm starting to wonder if a life without her is worth living.

    Emmy Davis, the world's most famous fox shifter, went missing two years ago. 
     
     
     
    And I've just been hired to find her. 
     
     
     
    If only things were that simple. The cops have no leads. Other PIs haven't fared any better. The trail is colder than an arctic winter. And to make matters worse, a mysterious creature from Javy Diaz's past has taken an alarming interest in the case. 
     
     
     
    But all that might be the least of my problems. Because you know everything you've heard about the pitfalls of social media? 
     
     
     
    Yeah. Turns out it's worse than that. 
     
     
     
    Way worse. 
     
     
     
    And having 113 million crazed fans breathing down my neck as I search for their lost idol might prove more dangerous than crossing paths with whoever actually took her in the first place . . .
