The Redemption of Matthew Quinn
Ex-con Matthew Quinn has plenty of trouble in his life right now. He doesn't need to take on more. And there's no question that Natalie Granville -- with her crumbling mansion and her canceled wedding -- is capital-T trouble. But that doesn't stop him from accepting a job from her. He can handle it. All he needs to do is follow some rules: 1. Remember she's your boss, nothing else. 2. Don't start letting the arrangement get all cozy and domestic and personal. 3. Don't notice, don't want, don't feel and definitely don't touch. Four Seasons in Firefly Glen Hero: Matthew Quinn Heroine: Natalie Granville
Between mist and midnight
Home is where the heart breaks For Eleanor Wilding, home was Wildingsher family's antebellum estate in Mississippi. Wildings . . . where she'd foolishly fallen in love with her handsome stepbrother, Edan Bond. And where Edan had rejected that love. And it was to Wildings that Eleanor returned after a five-year, self-imposed exile. She'd come back to visit her ailing grandmother, but also to confront Edan. Because, like the legendary family ghost, memories of Edan haunted her, and it was time to exorcise the past. However, once she'd seen Edan again, it was impossible to forget what he'd meant to her . . . since those feelings were still all too real.
