Book excerpt: He stole her inheritance. She stole his heart. Daphne Windham has depended upon one thing her entire life: inheriting her beloved great-aunt's estate, Cheriton Hall. With her mother desperate to marry her off to the highest bidder, Daphne is relieved to escape to Cheriton for the summer-until she learns that her aunt has decided upon a different heir entirely. Cole Everard, the steward's son and Daphne's childhood friend. Former friend, that is. Raised on the grounds of Cheriton, Cole Everard never imagined he would be named heir, but he is determined to prove himself worthy of the position. Unfortunately, that is easier said than done, especially when Daphne arrives claiming he is anything but worthy. Instead of their close friendship, Cole is met with cold indifference-which would sting much less if he wasn't entirely in love with her... Hurt and betrayed, Daphne believes her only choice is to undermine her new rival and reclaim what is rightfully hers. But that plan becomes increasingly difficult, what with Cole's infuriating charm and kindness. When fate offers Daphne a second chance, will she take it or risk it all for the promise of love? Romancing Her Rival is the second in a series of books about five friends. The other four novellas will be written by authors Sally Britton, Megan Walker, Heidi Kimball, and Arlem Hawks.

Download or read book Romance s Rival written by Talia Schaffer and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Romance's Rival argues that the central plot of the most important genre of the nineteenth century, the marriage plot novel, means something quite different from what we thought. In Victorian novels, women may marry for erotic desire--but they might, instead, insist on "familiar marriage," marrying trustworthy companions who can offer them socially rich lives and futures of meaningful work. Romance's Rival shows how familiar marriage expresses ideas of female subjectivity dating back through the seventeenth century, while romantic marriage felt like a new, risky idea. Undertaking a major rereading of the rise-of-the-novel tradition, from Richardson through the twentieth century, Talia Schaffer rethinks what the novel meant if one tracks familiar-marriage virtues. This alternative perspective offers new readings of major texts (Austen, the Bront s, Eliot, Trollope) but it also foregrounds women's popular fiction (Yonge, Oliphant, Craik, Broughton). Offering a feminist perspective that reads the marriage plot from the woman's point of view, Schaffer inquires why a female character might legitimately wish to marry for something other than passion. For the past half-century, scholars have valorized desire, individuality, and autonomy in the way we read novels; Romance's Rival asks us to look at the other side, to validate the yearning for work, family, company, or social power as legitimate reasons for women's marital choices in Victorian fiction. Comprehensive in its knowledge of several generations of scholarship on the novel, Romance's Rival convinces us to re-examine assumptions about the nature and function of marriage and the role of the novel in helping us not simply imagine marriage but also process changing ideas about what it might look like and how it might serve people.

The summer I turned sixteen, hormones raged, and I developed a huge crush on Charlie Blakewell. It ended badly when my dad and his had a huge argument.

As usual, my brother, John got tapped for the latest acquisition, but my turn would come. When John got in an auto accident, my turn came earlier than expected. The surprise came when Dad declared we were doing a joint deal with the Blakewells. I would be working side by side with Charlie after all these years. When things started going wrong, I had to question everything I thought I knew, and all the decisions I'd made. Was he the cause of all my problems, or the answer to my prayers? Our time together would soon come to an end. If only the clock could be turned back.
