William John Locke

Sinopse

The early twentieth century English novelist William John Locke has suffered neglect in recent rimes, though in his day he was a bestselling author on both sides of the Atlantic.

Locke’s books are noted for their enticing social dramas, well-drawn characters and polished prose. This eBook presents Locke’s collected (almost complete) works, with numerous illustrations, rare texts, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1)

Just One Day (A Porch by the...

Sophie Love

This recording has been digitally produced by Sophie Love, using a synthesized version of an audiobook narrator’s voice under license. With Thanksgiving looming, Emma Gold has to put her B&B renovations into high gear, has to fend off her developer rival, and has to decide how serious she wants to get with her new boyfriend. Just when it seems like wedding bells might be looming, a huge misunderstanding changes everything. Has Emma been wrong all along?

“The perfect romance or beach read, with a difference: its enthusiasm and beautiful descriptions offer an unexpected attention to the complexity of not just evolving love, but evolving psyches. It's a delightful recommendation for romance readers looking for a touch more complexity from their romance reads.”
--Midwest Book Review (For Now and Forever)
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

JUST ONE DAY is Book #5 in a charming new romantic comedy series by bestselling author Sophie Love, whose books have received over 5,000 five-star reviews.

Emma Gold, a high-powered advertising exec from Los Angeles, is used to being in control of her life. She squashed her dreams of being an artist in order to get ahead, and she turned a blind eye to who her husband really was.

But now, with everything falling apart, she realizes there might be more to life.

When Emma is beckoned to visit her aunt, a funny and feisty elderly woman who smokes cigars, drives race cars and owns a massive, crumbling house in a beautiful, quaint seaside town, Emma thinks she is just coming for a weekend. Little does she know her life is about to change.

With her sister living nearby and her aunt needing to move out, Emma wonders if maybe the idea is not so crazy. And when she meets the local antiques dealer, she even has to wonder if there might just be a second chance at love awaiting her.

But Emma is new to renovation, to running a B&B, to dealing with a local zoning board—and to dealing with a distant, hostile relative who wants the house for himself and who will do anything he can to stop her. In a series of laugh-out-loud events, Emma learns that, sometimes, we have to let go of control.

And, sometimes, a new love—and a new life—might just be waiting around the corner.

JUST ONE DAY is book #5 in the debut of a funny and dazzling new sweet romance series that will make you laugh, make you cry, will keep you turning pages late into the night—and will make you fall in love with clean romance all over again.

“The romance is there, but not overdosed. Kudos to the author for this amazing start of a series that promises to be very entertaining.”

Falling Angel

Anne Stuart

Next stop: Hell. Unless . . . 
He was a driven, heartless businessman, trampling anyone who got in his way, until one night when his grinchy-heart exploded. Now, he’s back on earth with a second chance to avoid his fate. His task? To right three of his wrongs. Fail, and he’s not going to like how his story ends. 
All her fault . . . 
Carrie Alexander lives a quiet life in a tiny town in Minnesota, recovering from a broken heart and her guilt. She’d been fool enough to fall in love with her heartless boss, and she’d not only been kicked to the curb, she’d brought down the whole town with her. She’s doing everything she can to make up for the disaster she wrought, and she has no time for the stranger who appears at her door on a wintry Thanksgiving night—no matter how angelically beautiful he is. 
He’s going to need a miracle . . . 
Healing the town is a relatively simple matter. Fixing lost souls will be a piece of cake. But how the hell can Gabriel heal the woman he’s fallen in love with, knowing he’s going to abandon her once again?

Fighting Pride

Jennifer Miller

It's been five years since I've seen her. Five years since we lost everything. Five years since I sold my soul to the devil and broke her heart to save her. The years have been long, the sacrifice and loneliness have been crippling. And now, she's back. I'm not supposed to see her, talk to her; I'm not supposed to want her. It will only break open wounds I've fought to keep closed, but I can't stay away. I tell myself I only want to see her face, to know my sacrifice has been worth it. Because I sold my soul, and sometimes I'd do anything, even if it means hurting her again, to get it back.
