After losing her fiancé in
a tragic accident, Veronica Fisher finds solace in the old recipes stored in
her mother's hope chest--and in a special visitor who comes to her bake stand
to purchase her old-fashioned raspberry pies. Veronica Fisher knows how lucky
she is to be marrying her best friend. Seth Lapp is kind, hardworking, and
handsome--but most importantly, he loves Veronica. When an accident on the job
steals Seth away from her, a heartbroken Veronica is certain she will never
love--or be loved--again. Yet when she discovers a batch of forgotten recipes
and opens a bake stand to sell her Mammi's raspberry pies, Veronica picks
up a regular customer who gives her heart pause. Jason Huyard was with Seth
when he lost his life--a memory that haunts him still. So when he seeks out the
grieving fiancée to convey his condolences, the last thing he expects--or
wants--is to fall in love. Nonetheless, Jason soon finds himself visiting
Veronica's bake stand every week . . . and it's for more than the raspberry
pies. Now, as Veronica's heart thaws, Jason can't bring himself to tell her he
was there when Seth died. Can he ever reveal where he was on the day her life
derailed Or will his secret rob them of the second chance at love they both
want.
Better Luck Next Time by Julia Claiborne Johnson.
It's 1938 and women
seeking a quick, no-questions split from their husbands head to the
"divorce capital of the world," Reno, Nevada. There's one catch: they
have to wait six-weeks to become "residents." Many of these wealthy,
soon-to-be divorcees flock to the Flying Leap, a dude ranch that caters to
their every need. Twenty-four-year-old Ward spent one year at Yale before
his family lost everything in the Great Depression; now he's earning an honest
living as a ranch hand at the Flying Leap. Admired for his dashing good
looks--"Cary Grant in cowboy boots"--Ward thinks he's got the Flying
Leap's clients all figured out. But two new guests are about to upend
everything he thinks he knows: Nina, a St Louis heiress and amateur pilot back
for her third divorce, and Emily, whose bravest moment in life was leaving her
cheating husband back in San Francisco and driving herself to Reno.
If We Were Villains by M. L. Rio.
On the day Oliver Marks is
released from jail, the man who put him there is waiting at the door. Detective
Colborne wants to know the truth, and after ten years, Oliver is finally ready
to tell it. A decade ago: Oliver is one of seven young Shakespearean actors at
Dellecher Classical Conservatory, a place of keen ambition and fierce
competition. In this secluded world of firelight and leather-bound books,
Oliver and his friends play the same roles onstage and off: hero, villain,
tyrant, temptress, ingénue, extras. But in their fourth and final year,
good-natured rivalries turn ugly, and on opening night real violence invades
the students' world of make-believe. In the morning, the fourth-years find
themselves facing their very own tragedy, and their greatest acting challenge
yet: convincing the police, each other, and themselves that they are innocent.
