Arranged: A Novel
by Catherine McKenzieA writer reconsiders her approach to love when she mistakenly calls an arranged marriage service in this offbeat romance by the author of Spin.“Arranged is a rare book: smart, funny, honest, and absorbing.” —Therese Walsh, author of The Last Will of Moira LeahyAnne Blythe has a great life: a good job, close friends, and a potential book deal for her first novel. When it comes to finding someone to share her life with, however, she just can’t seem to get it right. After her latest relationship implodes, and her best friend announces she’s engaged, Anne impulsively calls what she thinks is a dating service—only to discover that it’s actually an exclusive, and pricey, arranged marriage service. Anne initially rejects the idea, but the more she learns about the service, the more she thinks: Why not? After all, arranged marriages are the norm for millions of women around the world; maybe it could work for her.A few months later, Anne is traveling to a Mexican resort, where, over the course of a weekend, she meets and then marries Jack. And initially, everything seems to be working out . . . “A satisfying and entertaining romantic tale that puts a contemporary twist on old-fashioned ideas about marriage. I inhaled it in an afternoon, rooting for its heroine to find the love she longs for.” —Leah Stewart, author of Husband and Wife“This is chick lit for real women, featuring a smart, competent heroine with a hopeless romantic streak . . . The humor ranges from biting sarcasm to slapstick, and the narrative voice is compulsively readable . . . Fans of Jennifer Weiner and Jennifer Crusie have found a new author to watch.” —Booklist (starred review)
An Arranged Marriage (Company of Rogues #1)
by Jo BeverleyFirst book of the Company of Rogues collection. A RELUCTANT BRIDE Eleanor Chivenham didn't put much past her vile brother, but even she had not anticipated his greedy scheme to dupe a rich earl into mistaking her for a lightskirt. With her reputation in shreds and her future ruined, a defeated Eleanor was forced to agree to a hasty wedding. But marriage to the mysterious Nicholas Delaney, with his casual elegance and knowing smile, was more than she'd bargained for. He doubtless thought the worst of her, but when society gossip soon told her all about his beautiful French mistress, Eleanor tried to act with the cool dignity required in a marriage of convenience. But how long could she hold out against his undeniable charm-or the secret desires of her heart? A PERSUASIVE GROOM For the sake of family honor, Nicholas Delaney agreed to wed a wronged lady. In truth, such chivalry ran counter to his carefully wrought image of a carousing, dissolute rogue-the guise so vital to his secret political mission. He hoped to keep his new wife in the background until a spy was trapped, but Eleanor's beauty and fighting wit were impossible to ignore. In fact, she presented quite a challenge to his prowess with women-and a test of his formidable will!

Arranged Marriage
by Chitra Banerjee DivakaruniAlthough Chitra Divakaruni's poetry has won praise and awards for many years, it is her "luminous, exquisitely crafted prose"(Ms. )that is quickly making her one of the brightest rising stars in the changing face of American literature. Arranged Marriage, her first collection of stories, spent five weeks on theSan Francisco Chroniclebestseller list and garnered critical acclaim that would have been extraordinary for even a more established author. For the young girls and women brought to life in these stories, the possibility of change, of starting anew, is both as terrifying and filled with promise as the ocean that separates them from their homes in India. From the story of a young bride whose fairy-tale vision of California is shattered when her husband is murdered and she must face the future on her own, to a proud middle-aged divorced woman determined to succeed in San Francisco, Divakaruni's award-winning poetry fuses here with prose for the first time to create eleven devastating portraits of women on the verge of an unforgettable transformation.
