- Sinopsis:
It's 7:08 on the
morning of Maggy O'Brien's thirty-fifth birthday and she's driving
carpool in her pajamas and bunny slippers. She can't remember the last
time she shaved her legs. She's hasn't slept past dawn since her kids
were born and one of them is now a teenager.
Can life possibly get any worse?
The
second she sees her sisters waiting impatiently at the foot of her
driveway, she knows the answer to that question. Claire and Ellie are
staging a makeover intervention and no amount of protest can save Maggy
from being cut and colored and waxed to within an inch of her life. And
as if that's not enough, they announce she's being banished to Atlantic
City for an all-expenses-paid getaway weekend for one.
Maggy
isn't a sequins-and-stilettos kind of woman. She's a single mom who is
more comfortable pushing a shopping cart through Stop & Shop than
sipping champagne in the backseat of a stretch limo headed toward Vegas
on the Jersey Shore. Still even Maggy isn't immune to playing Cinderella
for a weekend, even if it only means room service lobster and trying
her hand at the penny slots.
But when she locks eyes a few hours
later with ruggedly handsome police detective Conor Riley, she discovers
there's more to Cinderella's story than dancing until midnight.
They
agree it's just a fling. A weekend of magic with no strings attached.
They'd say goodbye on Sunday night and return to their everyday lives
with sweet memories and no regrets.
But Maggy and Conor are about to discover that maybe some flings are meant to last forever . . .

- Sinopsis:
Molly Chamberlain's
husband had abandoned her even as she carried his baby. He'd taken away
the life they'd built together...and even the furnishings that had
filled their house.
It was into this empty shell of a home that Rafe Garrick walked one afternoon -- surprised and saddened to discover a woman whose heart had been made hollow by so much loss. Fixing things was his job; building furniture, sturdy and well-crafted, was his passion. But Rafe knew, as he slowly formed a bond with this beautiful woman, that some things are not so easily repaired.
There was something about Molly Chamberlain, though, that made him want to try with all his heart...

- Sinopsis:
It all started with a
red lace thong. Normally Kate is a twin set and pearls kind of girl who
wouldn't be caught dead in such a thing. But that's exactly what happens
when sudden chest pains leave her lying in a parking lot with her skirt
hiked up around her hips for all of Princeton to see.
It's a man in a Grateful Dead t-shirt who saves her life, and then disappears without a trace. A total stranger-and yet Kate would give anything to see him again. How is she to know that her mystery man is planning a new, far-away life for himself, one that doesn't include romance, even if he can't seem to get the woman in red lace out of his mind?
Romance isn't high on Kate's list of priorities either. But when the handsome good Samaritan shows up on her doorstep, they discover that even the strongest heart is no match for love...
