"Barb and John Frost are testy and bored with each other after fifty years of marriage. At least they have their daughters--Barb's favorite, Juliet, and John's darling, Sadie. The girls themselves couldn't be more different, but at least they [get] along, more or less--until the day John has a stroke, and their house of cards came tumbling down. Now Sadie has to come home to care for her beloved dad--and face the love of her old life. Now Juliet has to wonder if people will notice that despite her perfect life, she's spending an increasing amount of time in the closet having panic attacks"--




The Duke Goes Down


Book Description

AMAZON BEST ROMANCE PICK IN AUGUST New York Times bestselling author Sophie Jordan begins the all new The Duke Hunt series with the illegitimate son of a duke who meets his match in the daring daughter of a vicar. The Bastard Rogue... Peregrine Butler’s privileged blue-blooded world is rocked to the core when it is revealed he was born before his parents’ marriage and therefore is not the legal heir to the dukedom. Facing ruin, Perry must use his charm and good looks to win an heiress—all the while ignoring his fascination with the one interfering and alluring chit who is intent on sabotaging his efforts. The Lady Vicar... Everyone knows Imogen Bates, the virtuous daughter of the senile vicar. She can write a sermon in a day and spot a rogue in a second, so she sees right through Perry’s seductive façade. But Imogen’s plan to protect the heiresses of her beloved Shropshire from the erstwhile Duke of Penning, the bane of her existence since childhood, soon turns into something altogether unacceptable for the proper lady … who suddenly finds herself longing to keep his heated glances and tempting kisses all to herself.




Teresa Wentzler's Brilliant Plumage


Book Description

Teresa Wentzler's masterful creations never fail to evoke a sense of wonder and delight. But there's something special about this pair of designs--the beautiful birds and fantasy foliage are worked entirely in whole cross stitches and use very little backstitch. That means the rich shading will come to life on your fabric more quickly than Wentzler designs of comparable size. You'll soon see these exotic creatures proudly posing on pillows or in frames. Stitch count for each design is 160w x 160h. Some stitches use blended colors of floss. Each black-and-white chart is divided into four sections. Models worked over two threads on 28-count Zweigart® Cashel linen; finished size of each design 11.5 x 11.5. Teresa Wentzler's Brilliant Plumage (Leisure Arts #3936)
