So why rush to marry? So far there's only been one woman he's ever truly loved. But that was before she had a secret affair with his best friend...with the help of an unwitting accomplice named Lady Pippa Harrington. Pippa may not have acted in her old friend Gregory's best interests, but she's always believed that the heart sets its own rules. This is why Pippa must escape her arranged marriage—fast—by fleeing to Paris, where she hopes to pursue her artistic passions. To do so, Pippa will need all the help she can get—from Gregory, the one man she isn't sure she can trust...or resist...

Download or read book The Wrong Man written by Amanda Brookfield and published by Boldwood Books Ltd. This book was released on 2023-08-12 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘In the weeks that followed, Jane did her best not to think about anything very much. Usually, it worked. But every so often she would freeze, and tremble at the terrifying realisation that she wanted to leave her husband.’ While many regard her marriage with admiration and a touch of envy, Jane Lytton quietly reaches the shocking conclusion that her relationship with Michael, a successful banker with little time for her – or the nitty-gritty of family life – is failing. Even daring to contemplate leaving Michael is daunting. With no obvious outward signs of any marital problems, family and friends greet news of the predicament with a mixture of anger and uncomprehending sympathy. Forced to accept that she is alone, Jane takes drastic steps that veer her life off course. When at last her vision clears to reveal the best chance of happiness, it looks as if she may have left it too late. Being with the wrong man does not make finding the ‘right’ one any easier. Amanda Brookfield’s loving but unflinching dissection of marriage and relationships is timeless and irresistible. The Wrong Man demonstrates brilliantly why she got her well-deserved reputation for writing about women’s lives with humour and honesty. *Please note this title was originally published as *Walls of Glass. ** Praise for Amanda Brookfield: 'An engaging, emotionally-charged and intriguing story' Michelle Gorman No one gets to the heart of human relationships quite so perceptively as Brookfield.'

I will definitely read more from this author in the future.’ ‘Brilliant book - just when I thought I knew what was going to happen, another twist popped up -had me picking it up whenever I had the chance.’ ‘A great story, great characters, vivid, immediate, so 'real', and such compassion.

If you like reading really well written real-life novels about your relationships, try this.’ ‘I enjoyed Amanda Brookfield’s writing style. She really taps into her characters and writes them warts and all, with some raw and honest emotions.’ ‘All of Amanda's books are well written.

The Righteous is the can’t-miss lead in to what will be a much-anticipated finale of a can't miss quartet.

Download or read book Always On Call written by Marion McKinnon Crook and published by Heritage House Publishing Co. This book was released on 2024-07-22 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the long-awaited sequel to Always Pack a Candle, intrepid public health nurse Marion Crook juggles marriage, children, and a vast array of patients and cases in rural British Columbia in the 1970s. It has been over a decade since Marion Crook arrived in the Cariboo for her first job out of nursing school. The vast rural territory that once left her awestruck now feels like home, as she embraces life on the ranch with her husband, Carl, three young children, and numerous farm animals. But things are far from idyllic. Overseeing a small staff of irrepressible nurses serving a public health district the size of a small country brings new challenges every day. From runaway patients and needle-phobic hockey players to cultural misunderstandings and heartbreaking cases of abuse and neglect, Marion never knows what is coming next. The 1970s bring signs of social progress as women gain more autonomy and the region grows more culturally diverse. Yet, old prejudices persist, and Marion must fight for her patients, as well as for her adopted son. Recounted with warmth, compassion, and riveting detail, Always On Call is a fascinating portrait of the hectic life of a rural nurse and highlights the importance of the helping professions.
