3.8 (10)

Roman Summer by Jane Arbor Teaching an attractive teenager to love Rome didn't seem a particularly arduous job. — But for Ruth it meant having to fight her old attraction to Erie Nash, who had said, "The folly of marriage is a heady, distracting adventure I don't mean to afford". The Flamboyant Tree by Isobel Chace Frances Whitney had read an article about the self-help villages of Tanzania, where the population worked together in a kind of co-operative for their mutual benefit, and before anyone could stop her she had volunteered to go to one of these villages as a doctor. At Nguyu they had been expecting a male doctor. "You won't last ten minutes," Simon Abbott told her. She would show him! Black Niall by Mary Wibberley Everything was going wrong for Alison. Her job was in jeopardy, and she was going to have to sell her beloved family home to a stranger. As if that wasn't enough, Niall MacBain had come home; Niall, her arch-enemy, whom she had not seen for nine years but for whom she still felt nothing but hatred.

Pact without desire

3.0 (3)

"I will marry the first man who asks!" Sara made her reckless statement in a moment of hurt and pique after being jilted by Cliff. And for better or worse, the man listening asked her. Rede Forrest had said her desire to "show" her ex-fiance suited his own plans. He needed a wife. And for reasons she couldn't quite explain to herself, Sara rashly accepted his offer. But once married to Rede--and savoring her new life in Singapore--all thoughts of Cliff were wiped out of her mind!

Two pins in a fountain

2.8 (5)

There is a charming superstition in the little wine-growing town of St. Emilion-- if an unmarried girl drops two pins into the fountain and the pins form a cross, she will be married within the year. But it seemed the magic of the patron saint was not going to work for Paula. She had fallen in love with her employer, Gratien de Tourcy, and the love was plainly one-sided!
