  When Isabel "El" Watson applied for a sales job with her company, she had no idea a jelly donut would explode on her blouse, or that her grumpy boss would practically laugh her out of the interview. So when a lady at the local wine festival offers her a sales job on the spot at a new boutique winery, El jumps at the chance. She also jumps at the chance to text with the guy who danced with her at the festival. 
   
   
   
  Boston's friend, Chad, never should have given Boston's number to the girl at the wine festival as a joke. When El sends Boston a text later that night, believing he is Chad, he's too nice to hurt her feelings. But there are a few other truths Boston might have thought about: 
   
   
   
  Truth #1: He's her boss 
   
   
   
  Truth #2: She just accepted a job at his mother's new winery 
   
   
   
  Truth #3: He's always had a crush on her 
   
   
   
  Even though Boston is no longer El's grumpy boss, they still work together at his mom's winery. And while sparks are flying as they get to know each other for real, El's kind of sweet on the guy who always seems to know just what to say via text too. 
   
   
   
  Will Boston come clean about the flirty texts being from him? Or will El figure out on her own that she's been Texting With the Enemy?

  There is something about the number 3.    
  The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two.   
  Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois.  It seems good things usually come in threes. 
  Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating.

  Ma'ame Pelagie - From their pens...

  Kate Chopin

  Katherine O'Flaherty was born on the 8th February 1850 in St Louis, Missouri to parents of French and Irish descent. 
  At age 5, she was sent to the Sacred Heart Academy and, apart from a 2 year period at home when her father died, remained there until graduating in 1868.  Whilst there she began writing and became an avid reader of almost anything that crossed her path.   
  Kate married Oscar Chopin in 1870 and the couple moved to New Orleans, and later to the rural setting of Cloutierville, Louisiana to raise their 6 children.  
  In 1882 her husband died leaving her in a deep trench of debt.  Despite her best efforts to turn the businesses around they were sold, and she moved the family back to St Louis and the financial help of her mother.  Sadly, her mother died within the year.  Kate, now struggling with depression, pushed herself to write and gained a local reputation as a writer of short stories that captured the local color and vibrancy of her surroundings.  
  By the early 1890’s her short stories were published nationally.  With this widespread audience also came negative reviews, controversy, and cries of immorality as themes such as interracial relationships, the rights of women and other burning issues of the day were written about. 
  Despite the criticism, which unnerved her, she continued to write though in the main her works, around 100 short stories and two novels, were not attributed with any literary worth. 
  Kate Chopin died from a brain haemorrhage in St Louis Missouri on the 22nd of August 1904.  She was 54. 
  For much of the 20th Century her work was forgotten and out of print.  It was only in early 1970’s, with the rise of feminism and the call for a more just society that she was given the status her works had long described and shone a literary light at.  She is now safely revered as one of America’s great authors.

  Who died and made me queen? 
    
  Technically nobody, but my mom and sister did take an impromptu trip to the underworld, forcing me into the role of high priestess of the Salem coven. 
    
  And I am so not cut out for the job. 
    
  As if that's not enough responsibility for one witch to handle, I still have to summon a ticked off demon prince, convince him to help us break the family curse, and battle the beasties slipping through the rifts in the thinning veil…while hiding the fact that we're the ones who caused the rifts in the first place. 
    
  Holy Hecate. Fighting monsters I can handle. Leading a coven? Not so much.  
    
  But if I don't step up and figure out how to take charge, every witch in Salem will die. 
    
  Good thing I'm a fast learner.

  With limited funds, and a long way from Texas, the answer seems obvious.

  Meeting the Duke of Studborne, it seems her prayers have been answered. 
  But the Duke's motives for courting her are not what they seem, and Rosamund is caught in a trap.

  Or does something wicked lurk within the ancient monastic walls?
