Two romances about taking another chance

This paperback reissue brings together two contemporary romance stories built around the gap between romantic expectations and real relationships. In “Bride on the Loose,” a matchmaking child introduces bachelor Jason Manning to Charlotte Weston, who is wary of risking her heart after a breakup. “My Hero” shifts the focus to Bailey York, an aspiring romance writer who looks to Parker Davidson for inspiration—while he hopes to become more than a model for her fiction. Together, the stories connect the idea of a romantic hero with the uncertainties of building a partnership, through characters who are cautious about love for different reasons.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers seeking a collection of two contemporary romance stories.
  • Readers interested in romance plots involving matchmaking, heartbreak, and a writer’s search for inspiration.
  • Adult readers looking for relationship-centered fiction.

Book overview

Curl up and get cozy with two classic romance stories about finding love and making it work

Bride on the Loose

Jason Manning is content with his life as a carefree bachelor, until a precocious girl decides to play matchmaker and introduces him to her mother. To Jason's relief, Charlotte Weston is as uninterested in a relationship as he is. Charlotte likes Jason, but there's no way she's putting her broken heart on the line again. As their feelings start to deepen, can Jason convince the stubborn Charlotte that they're better together?

My Hero

Would-be romance writer Bailey York has already failed twice at love. She thinks men are wonderful to read and write about, but that's it. Which is probably why she has such difficulty creating a hero for her novel. What she needs is a real-life example, and she finds one in Parker Davidson. He's everything a hero should be: attractive, determined, capable of tenderness and a man of substance. Parker is perfect as Bailey's inspiration--but he wants to be the hero in her life, not just in her book!

"Romantic, warm, and a breeze to read." --Kirkus Reviews on Cottage by the Sea
