A Timeless Romance Anthology: European Collection
Six Award-Winning Authors have
contributed new stories to A Timeless
Romance Anthology: European Collection. Readers will love this collection
of six historical romance novellas set in Europe, all with one thing in common:
Romance.
In War of Hearts, Annette Lyon’s
exciting novella, Anna, a journalist, is desperate to escape the magazine where
Pete, her now-former boyfriend, also works. Heartbroken and still in love with
him, Anna snags an assignment to cover the Winter War in Finland. She arrives
at a snowy Finnish battlefront only to discover that Pete is already there—as
her photographer. She’s determined to be professional about the situation until
a battle breaks out in camp, putting her and Pete in harm’s way and putting
their love to the test.
In G.G. Vandagriff’s enchanting novella, The
Earl of Oaksey Takes a Wife,
Melissa Burroughs is the new Countess of Oaksey. Her whirlwind romance and
subsequent elopement was worth every divine moment, even if her parents did
disapprove. When Melissa learns about her new husband’s apparently empty
pockets, she wonders if the intimacy they’ve shared is only the ruse of a
fortune-hunter. Melissa is devastated and determines to live a separate life
from her new husband. But the Earl has other plans, which do not include
staying away from his wife.
In Michele Paige Holmes’ charming story, Gift
of Love, Ethan Mooreleigh knows he’ll never love another woman after
the loss of his beloved wife. Yet he needs a male heir to inherit his vast
fortune. Ethan’s best friend, Stuart, has an idea and retrieves his sister,
Amelia, who has been living in a convent since the tragic death of her parents.
Amelia only agrees to enter into the contract marriage because there’s a child
involved, Ethan’s neglected three-year-old daughter. When Amelia meets Ethan
for the first time at the altar, she realizes that the last thing she wants her
marriage to be is loveless. But winning a man whose heart is still broken may
be impossible.
A Lesson in Love,
a delightful novella by Sarah M. Eden, captures the uncertainties of newlywed
life. Lucy Stanthorpe arrives for the London Season, planning to attend every
ball and musicale with her new husband, Reed, only to discover he has no
intention of taking part in the social whirl. Spurred on by their family and
friends, Lucy and Reed each formulate increasingly outlandish plans to teach
the other a lesson in appreciation. Their battle of wills threatens to pull the
young couple apart unless they can both soften their stubborn hearts.
In An Ocean Away, Heather B. Moore’s
captivating story, Gina Graydon knows the last thing she’ll attract on her
holiday in France is an eligible bachelor. Tall, outspoken, and with a weakness
for laughing at the wrong moment, not to mention being much too occupied with
reading gothic romances, Gina decides she’d rather live in her fictional world.
Besides, the only man who pays attention to her at the resort hotel happens to
be her father’s worst enemy. And that is far from romantic. Reading in a
secluded garden, and dreaming about the perfect kiss, all keep Gina much too
busy to consider Mr. Edmund Donaldson any sort of hero.
Nancy Campbell Allen’s entrancing novella, What
Happens in Venice, follows Evangeline Stuart as she determines to enjoy
her vacation in Venice—her first and likely her last since she lives under the
strict confines of her step-father’s control. When she meets the mysterious and
romantic Conte Bellini, who happens
to be Italy’s most eligible bachelor, she decides he is all part of the dream
of visiting Venice. It’s impossible
for her to believe that his interest in her is anything more than kindness to a
foreign visitor. But when he discovers the true betrayal of her step-father,
Evangeline learns the Conte may be
the one person with the power to restore her happiness.
