Lori Handeland

Sinopse

From Lori Handeland, a group of classic contemporary love stories. Humor with heart! 
A prequel to the best selling Luchettis Series. 
Max Frasier is a remarkable eight-year-old boy whose imagination and clumsy feet get him in trouble. Max doesn't mean to forget he's grounded when he wanders off to follow the wind or a whim, he just forgets. Max is fascinated with things that go bump in the night and in Savannah, Georgia there are a lot of them. 
Livy doesn't have a clue how to cultivate the magic that lies within her child. By trying to keep him safe from broken bones, she crushes his flights of imagination. In trying to make him like other little boys, she fights against what makes him special. 
When Max meets Garrett Stark, famous horror author, he finds a kindred spirit. What he doesn't know is that he's found his father. 
Livy was the first person to offer Garrett love, and uncertain how to love back, believing himself unworthy, he had run. But from the first moment Garret sees Max, he knows there's something special about the child. Garrett had thought he'd returned to Savannah to pursue the muse that inspired his previous books. Now he knows he's come back for Livy. 
Can the three of them get past the lies between them to make a family and a home?

The Play's the Thing

Jessica Barksdale Inclán

Shakespeare has never been this sexy!

One evening when helping a colleague stage The Merchant of Venice, English professor Jessica Randall slides momentarily back to 1598. Later that night, she lands for good in the chambers of one William Shakespeare, a down-on-his luck playwright.

His biggest problem of late has been a non-stop stream of Jessicas apparating into his chambers nightly. Yet Jessica's appearance halts the visitations, though neither have a clue why. Can she get back to 2018? They don't know that either, and together they begin to craft a life together, all the while trying to break the time travel curse and avoid falling in love.

As Jessica grapples with practical (what is and how does one put on a farthingale?) and emotional (how to risk your heart when everything might disappear in an instant?) aspects of adapting to Elizabethan London, she must try to solve the mystery of the other Jessicas. More importantly, she must figure out how to get home without suffering from the broken heart she knows she can't avoid.

Despite being thwarted at every turn, Jessica manages to navigate her new world and her old one and save not only herself but Will Shakespeare and his legacy.
