Making a case for love has never been so complicated in this fresh, funny rivals-to-lovers romance. Perdie Stone needs just three things in life: Her forever best friend, Lucille. Their adorable rescue pug, Bananas. And last but not least, a coveted partnership at her Charleston law firm. A partnership she more than deserves when she goes head-to-head with hotshot Ivy League attorney Carter Leplan on a big case and comes out on top. She didn’t think anything would feel better than beating the annoyingly gorgeous lawyer at his own game, but that's before a freak storm leaves them both stranded. Together. In the last hotel room. With only one bed. It’s a one-night stand Perdie isn’t soon to forget…especially after Carter turns up at her firm and slides right into the job that should have been hers. And right back into her life—a life she thought she had all figured out.

For anyone interested in family history this book is a must read. Compiled by amateur historian David Wynne, who was inspired to research his own family history, this book begins with a brief history of the Welsh royal lineage in the period of the 1500s and 1600s, and then recounts in stunning detail the Wynne family descendants of Thomas and Sarah Wynn (born in the 1750s). The author details the lives of many families, including the Barwell and Shearman families, who were closely connected to the Wynne family. This book also gives the reader the context of the environments they lived in, with accounts of the political backdrop that influenced their lives. David Wynne has painstakingly researched all the facts for this book over the last eighteen years, and has included an incredible amount of detail about the lives of his ancestors. This book covers in some detail, the Wynne family and their involvement with shoe industry in Stafford during the 19th century and also discusses the great industrial firm Platt Brothers Ltd, cotton machinery makers in Oldham, Lancashire, with information on some of the directors and founders of this great firm, including Wynne family members. The book travels the globe, from the UK to British North Borneo, and to America, Australia and New Zealand. Many members of the Wynne family had a love of travel and a desire to move to, and settle in, distant lands. The lives of Wynne family members are recorded in detail right up to 2021. Family dramas and scandals are unearthed, such as the affair and high profile divorce of Eleanor Margaret Wynne in front of a grand jury, and the subsequent international media coverage that ensued. The book also includes accounts of famous family members, such as Frances Hodgson Burnett, granddaughter of Mary Wynne and author of many books including Little Lord Fauntleroy and The Secret Garden. The book is illustrated with an incredible array of images spanning the centuries, both from historical records, and from personal Wynne family photo collections.

LGBT Cozy Mystery Kip O’Connor lives a simple life in the little seaside town of Pearl Bay. Unless it’s tourist season, things tend to be pretty peaceful. There is, however, one never-ending source of irritation in the form of Police Chief Merrick Dawson. Merrick is Kip’s older brother’s BFF, and nothing seems to bring Merrick more joy than nagging Kip about silly things. You’d think a Police Chief would have more important things to do than lecture Kip on parking tickets and picking up pet waste, but somehow Merrick always finds the time. When Kip decides to take an art class at the local community college, he’s annoyed to find Merrick has also enrolled in the course. The instructor takes a shine to Kip, and soon they become friends outside of class. Merrick warns Kip of the dangers of blurring those lines and befriending his teacher, but Kip is flattered by the attention. When his art teacher is found stabbed through the forehead with a palette knife, Kip is determined to figure out who killed his new friend. Merrick naturally thinks Kip getting involved in the investigation is a horrible idea, but when has Kip ever listened to that irksome, pig-headed Merrick Dawson?
