Beschreibung

What happens when 19th-century American ingenuity collides with medieval superstition?

In A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Mark Twain delivers a brilliant blend of science fiction, political satire, and historical fantasy. When Hank Morgan, a modern mechanic from Connecticut, is mysteriously transported to the court of King Arthur, he uses his knowledge to outwit knights, challenge the church, and revolutionize Camelot.

Twain's timeless wit exposes the absurdities of both feudalism and modernity, offering readers a humorous yet deeply critical look at power, progress, and humanity.

    It's a truth often acknowledged that when a Jane Austen fan girl ends up living next door to a cynical but handsome crime writer, romantic sparks will fly! 
    When Maddy Shaw is told her Dear Jane column has been cancelled she has no choice but to look outside of London’s rental market. That is until she’s left an idyllic country home by the black sheep of the family, long-not-so-lost Cousin Nigel. 
    But of course there’s a stipulation… and not only is Maddy made chair of the committee for the annual village literary festival, she also has to put up with bestselling crime author –and romance sceptic – Cameron Massey as her new neighbour. 
    When Maddy challenges Cameron to write romantic fiction, which he claims is so easy to do, sparks fly both on and off the page…

    In the theater of love, one practice kiss between best friends could steal the show… 
    Three things fuel my life to the brim: my boisterous family, the magic of musicals, and my best friend, Eric Moody—who just happens to be the man I dare not love. 
    Eric is my sunshine, the life of the party, and the one who fills my quiet moments with laughter. He's the perfect guy, suave and flirtatious, always ready with a quick-witted remark. 
    Here’s the twist, though: he’s after a future I can’t provide. So, I’ve locked my feelings away like a secret musical tucked safely in a drawer, afraid to let the world hear my heart's hidden song. 
    But when I’m reluctantly cast in a local musical at the school where we both work—cue the cringe-worthy panic—Eric steps in to help me prepare, turning my rehearsals into something far more exhilarating. And then comes the moment I never saw coming: a casual offer to “practice kiss.” 
    The air crackles with undeniable attraction, and the walls I’ve built in the name of friendship begin to crumble. Can I keep my heart locked away when every moment with him feels like a leap into the unknown? And is it wrong to want the one person I think I can never have? 
    Perfect for fans of: 
    ✔️teacher romance 
    ✔️best friends to lovers 
    ✔️childhood friends 
    ✔️temporary roommates 
    ✔️musical theater references 
    ✔️found family 
    ✔️attractive goofball heroes 
    Belonging With Her Best Friend is Book 4 in the California Dreamin’ sweet romantic comedy series, where a group of roommates and friends find their perfect matches and support one another like crazy. Each story stands alone, but you will get more enjoyment out of them if you read in order. This single-POV novel is filled with all the sizzling romantic tension and swoons possible without on-page intimacy.

    MEET THE UNFORGETTABLE YOUNG WOMAN, LaDene Faye Howell, who finds herself in police custody recounting her story after her paroled cousin Bobbie Frank appears and engages her in a crime spree. 
     
     
     
    LaDene Faye Howell has spent her life in the small town of Devola, on an oxbow of the Muskingum River, in southeast Ohio. Her family is conservative and deeply religious, although another branch of the Howell clan are notorious criminals. When one of her outlaw relatives returns from prison, LaDene hopes the two of them may share an evening of fun, or even a spark of romance. Instead, Bobby Frank embroils her in kidnapping their old high school principal. 
     
      
     
    Taken into custody, LaDene recounts her misadventures in the form of a dramatic monologue. Pledging to "tell all in full truth so help me God," she hopes to keep herself out of jail and perhaps even soften Bobby's likely sentence. She also aims to capture her listeners' sympathy by recounting a secret from her past that she has never shared before. 
     
     
     
    Told with country noir flair, the heart of the story is LaDene's struggle to live as her own person while remaining true to her heritage and family loyalties.
