"Contemporary & Historical Romantic Tales"
This wonderful collection of contemporary and historical
romantic stories was written to raise money in the Fight
Against Breast Cancer, a cause motivating both authors and
readers to give their very best creative efforts.
Seventeen authors have accomplished just that in twenty-
four exciting stories, each one based on a current or
obsolete law in various locales throughout the world. The
laws are comic, but the highlights of this anthology
include romance and strongly plotted tales to please every
reader's taste. Here's a few snippets of what awaits your fascinating read: Watch with glee as Katlyn Mackenzie plots to snare her
neighborly masculine "hunk" - with the collaboration of
her feisty feline friend. Ah, what would a collection of romance tales be without a
damsel in distress, who turns from a chaste and pure lady
of an earlier age to one willing to break several nasty
and sweet laws to escape a "would-be" gold digger. Meet Sadie, a novice angel in heaven, who's got one more
chance to become a permanent angel (with wings) if she can
provide the courage to a woman who is wishing for the
perfect, loving partner. The perfect partner? Hmm.. Or consider the deal that two friends shake hands on -
marry this woman for six months (and stay in the marriage
no matter what happens) and one of the partners will sign
over an entire partnership to the winner. Doomed to
disaster, think you? Perhaps some more historical characters appeal to you.
Join Pam and Hank who agree to dress as historical figures
(but in the opposite sex's clothing) for a charity costume
contest. What will happen when they meet, only to discover
they are past, hurting lovers? Disease, tigers and elephants, jail, rigid societal rules,
cherry pie, ice cream, previous marriage agreements,
murder, trashing book reviews and arrows shot in the
heart, tattoos, oh so much kissing, assault and the law,
loss, a reality TV situation, a mysterious disappearance,
a pickle-making contest, panthers and mysterious injected
chips of the future, a family feud, and the longings of a
young widow people throng these pages with spicy, hot
romance; comical scenes at every turn, and so much more. What unites all of these very talented fictional tales is
the mystery and magic of LOVE - a love each author here
shares in the hope that others may continue to share the
same through your purchase of this REMARKABLY MARVELOUS
COLLECTION! ENJOY EACH AND EVERY STORY - LOVELY AND WELL-
