Book Description

Perfect for fans of the Bridgerton series by Julia Quinn. When Rose’s charming guardian Sir Laurence Melville is ditched by her fiancée, Rose is secretly happy, as she is quite in love with the man herself. When she travels to Rome, nothing and no one can seem to take Rose’s mind off him, not even the gorgeous prince she meets. Then something unexpected happens: she encounters Sir Laurence himself. Too bad he is not alone, for he has the lovely Signora Bardoli as his companion. The memorable love tale from the 20th century is written by Anita Charles, a pseudonym of the beloved romance writer Ida Pollock. A must-read for fans of literary romance and surprising twists of fate. Anita Charles is a pseudonym of Ida Pollock (1908 – 2013), a highly successful British writer of over 125 romance novels translated into numerous languages and published across the world. Ida Pollock has sold millions of copies over her 90-year career. Pollock began writing when she was 10 years old. Ida has travelled widely, living in several different countries. She continues to be popular amongst both her devoted fan base and new readers alike. Pollock has been referred to as the "world's oldest novelist" who was still active at 105 and continued writing until her death. On the occasion of her 105th birthday, Pollock was appointed honorary vice-president of the Romantic Novelists' Association, having been one of its founding members. Ida Pollock wrote in a wide variety of pseudonyms: Joan M. Allen, Susan Barrie, Pamela Kent, Averil Ives, Anita Charles, Barbara Rowan, Jane Beaufort, Rose Burghley, Mary Whistler and Marguerite Bell.

Book Description

Is there such a thing as a perfect marriage? After almost twenty years with her husband, Charles, Katherine Stamos finds herself at sea. What has happened to the closeness and passion she and Charles once shared? Her father suggests the perfect solution: a cruise aboard Alexandra’s Dream—an opportunity to escape their everyday lives and reconnect with one another. Once aboard ship, it’s still hard to leave their work behind. And much of what Katherine most wants to hear remains unsaid. She begins to think it is perhaps foolish to want to relive the heady feeling of first love. Maybe those emotions are only for the young. And then she meets June and Albert, an elderly couple who—after decades of marriage—still find magic and excitement in everything they do together. Their example makes Katherine wonder if it is possible for the love she shares with Charles to be perfect, even if she and Charles are not….

HER PERFECT ROMAN HOLIDAY A Roman reunion isn't on Kate Westbrook's itinerary when she arrives in Italy. After all, she's flying solo on the vacation she'd hoped to share with her soon-to-be-ex. But when Kate tosses a coin into the Trevi Fountain, her deepest wish—a second chance with her gorgeous pilot husband—might come true… Travis knows his dangerous missions broke up his marriage, but he's determined to win back his wife. How can Kate resist the magic and moonlight of Venice, followed by a passionate interlude in a sun-drenched Tuscan villa? Now, instead of dodging missiles, Travis faces a far more daunting challenge: proving to the woman he adores that their love is as enduring as the Eternal City itself.
