Rhys Sheffield, the Duke of Worthington, has bet his friends an ungodly sum of money that despite his loftiness, he can pass himself off as a servant at the house party of the Season. But when his clever ex-flame arrives and recognizes Rhys in the stables pretending to be a groomsman, she realizes it’s the perfect opportunity to pay him back for breaking off their engagement. She’s the bride-to-be. The lovely Lady Julianna Montgomery may be the only young woman at the house party who’s not in the market for a husband. She’s quite happily engaged to a marquess, thank you very much, and scarcely remembers the pain of being callously tossed over by the Duke of Worthington nearly two long years ago—till now. All bets are off. Rhys seems to be everywhere, flexing his muscles, laboring in the sun—and Julianna has never found him more appealing. With his signature charm, he persuades her to keep his secret. But when she learns he’s determined to win a bet of honor, she can’t resist playing a game of her own. She’ll spend the next fortnight tempting Rhys at every turn and making him lose his precious wager. Even if it means she must lose her heart in the process…

Just don’t ask her to dive for any bouquet. When Tucker Crawford returns to his small hometown, he expects to see the same old people, feel comfort in the same old things.

Certainly doesn’t expect to feel his heart beat faster when he realizes they belong to one of his best friends. If he convinces Addie to give him a chance, they could be electric...or their breakup could split their tight-knit group in two.

He’s going to need to do a lot of compromising if he’s going to convince her to take a shot at forever with him—on her terms this time.

Book excerpt: Ruin my best friend's wedding? Not on my watch. Last year, billionaire Mac Walsh punched my ex-boyfriend in the face. Repeatedly. This year, the Irish liquor kingpin is a reluctant groomsman in the most important event of my life: my best friend's wedding. As Maid of Honor, it's my duty to get Beck down the aisle. And to make sure nobody gets in her way. Especially not a brooding green-eyed businessman with a shady past, the body of a brawler, and an accent to make you swoon. Mac has made it pretty damn clear he'd rather the resort burn to the ground than see Beck meet Sam at the altar. And despite his devilish charm, that makes him the enemy. Mutual dislike seems to be the one thing we can agree on. He baits me into reckless decisions. He stares at me with outright contempt. And he loves pushing my buttons. Does he see the wedding as some kind of affront to his free-wheeling bachelor lifestyle? I don't know, and I don't particularly care. I'm not going to rest until my best friend says 'I do' and gets her happily ever after. And if Mac Walsh wants to stop me? Well, I'd just like to see him try. The Groomsman is a 75,000-word enemies-to-lovers slow-burn romance containing an unscrupulous Irish billionaire and a girl just trying to keep him (and herself) out of trouble. It can be read as a standalone and contains adult content.

Download or read book Four Sisters All Queens written by Sherry Jones and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-05-08 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beatrice of Savoy, Countess of Provence (1205-65) was determined to raise her daughters to advance the House of Savoy, and how better to do so than to arrange marriages with that goal in mind? In this entertaining novel, Jones (The Jewel of Medina) tells the story of four sisters who became queens-Marguerite (France), Eleanor (England), Sanchia (Germany), and Beatrice (Sicily). All were married young, none had any say in their marriages, and their lives, told here in alternating chapters, were eventful. The author does a good job not only of conveying the very different personalities and circumstances of the sisters but also of showing how little power these queens often had over the things that mattered most to them. Family trees help to keep track of the large number of characters. Verdict Fans of historical fiction about European royalty (e.g., Philippa Gregory's The Other Boleyn Girl) should enjoy this well-written novel set during fascinating times. The relationship among the sisters is believable and often heartbreaking.-Elizabeth Mellett, Brookline P.L., MA(c) Copyright 2012.
