Book excerpt: The moment I saw my elf, I knew I was going to keep her. Nick Bah, humbug. It's a cliche, but I don't care. I have little use for the holidays, even though my birthday falls on Christmas, and I don't care if the employees in my dad's company love me like they did him before his retirement. It's not a requirement of the job. So how do I find myself stuffed into a padded suit and playing Santa at the corporate Christmas party? I don't mind that much when I meet Holly, my volunteer elf for the evening. She's sweet and sassy, with curves in all the right places. All it takes is one look to know she's mine, and I'm going to keep her. Holly St. Nick sweeps me off my feet, and I start to fall for him. That's great until I learn he's the one trying to move our daycare. How can I love a man with a grinchy soul? Is there more to Nick than that? One thing's for sure. He's no saint. Pure Escapes are steamy novellas that get right to the point. They offer crazy insta-love, heart-pounding desire, and improbable scenarios. They're pure escapist fantasies. Enjoy!

The world sucks and I’m giving it the finger in every damn way, except… Except there’s a girl. Pretty. Hot. Clever. She didn’t get the memo—that she should hate me, shun me, kick me when I’m down.

Download or read book The Patron Saint of Ugly written by Marie Manilla and published by HMH. This book was released on 2014-06-17 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Catholic lore, American tales, and Sicilian superstition blend in this “clever, funny, heartbreaking, and heartwarming” novel (Publishers Weekly). Born with unruly red hair, a sharp tongue, and wine-colored marks all over her body—marks that oddly mimick a map of the world and make her subject to endless ridicule—Garnet Ferrari would hardly consider herself blessed. So when an emissary from the Vatican shows up at her door, convinced that her seeming ability to cure the skin ailments of others qualifies her for sainthood, she’s not quite convinced—or pleased. Garnet sets off on a quest to better understand who she is and where she and her unusual gifts came from. Tracing a twisted path that leads from Sicily to West Virginia, poverty to riches, romance to loss, reality to mythology, Garnet uncovers a truth far more powerful than any dermatological miracle: that the things of which we are most ashamed often become our greatest strengths. “A cleareyed, touching fable of a girl learning the hard truths about herself and others.” —Kirkus Reviews
