Rockstar scatenata
by Sky CorganMai mischiare il dovere col piacere. È ciò che dovrebbe fare un professionista. Ma a quanto pare non sono così tanto intelligente. Desiderando disperatamente di dare uno slancio al mio lavoro di web designer, invio una proposta di lavoro a Gabriel, stella nascente del rock sulla scena musicale indipendente. Mi dice, senza troppi giri di parole, che il mio progetto fa schifo. Fortunatamente, è disposto a darmi una seconda occasione. Tuttavia, mi chiede di fare qualcosa di assolutamente non convenzionale per capire meglio lui e la sua band. Andare ad un festival di musica rock. Passare del tempo con lui. Farei qualunque cosa pur di ottenere il lavoro. Tutti sanno che le rock star non vogliono legarsi seriamente a qualcuno, quindi non bado troppo a quello che succede tra di noi. Ma, così come la notorietà di Gabriel aumenta, così accade anche per il suo interesse nei miei confronti. Potranno mai una sconosciuta web designer e una rock star stare felicemente insieme, oppure la pressione dei media riuscirà a dividerli?

Fans of westerns will find themselves transported to frontier Colorado, and into stories with independent heroines, adventure, love, and ambition. ABOUT The Confidential Life of Eugenia Cooper Roman Holiday meets Mary Poppins in this Gilded Age tale of Eugenia "Gennie" Cooper, a New York socialite who takes advantage of a rare opportunity to step into the world of the dime novels she secretly loves. From the splendor of Fifth Avenue's mansions to the gilded homes of Denver silver barons and the rugged Leadville mines, Gennie's adventure as a governess soon becomes a love story despite the rocky start she has with widower Daniel Beck and his daughter Charlotte. ABOUT Anna Finch and the Hired Gun Anna Finch's father desperately wants to marry her off, but Anna's not having much success, mostly because she's much better at the written word than the spoken word. When she's around an eligible man, she becomes completely tongue-tied. It doesn't help that the awful man at the newspaper taunts her with constant mentions in his "Perish the Thought" gossip column. When Anna encounters the infamous lawman and outlaw Wyatt Earp, she sees her chance to finally achieve her dream of becoming a reporter. In this capacity, she finds love and trouble in equal measure when she convinces the dying gunfighter Doc Holliday to tell her his story. Her freedom to meet with Holliday is hampered, however, by Pinkerton agent Jeb Sanders, who's been hired to keep an eye on her--and keep her away from nobleman and notorious playboy Edwin Beck. Once Jeb realizes what Anna's up to, his annoyance at being forced to babysit a rich girl is swamped by his need to exact revenge on Doc Holliday. As the reporter and the detective get more tangled in Doc Holliday's story and each other, will their opposing goals tear them apart--or bring them together?

Charlotte's father makes them a deal: he'll allow Charlotte to go to college and be the instrument of Alex's financial salvation on one condition--that they agree to get married. Seeing no way out, Charlotte and Alex find themselves engaged. They agree that they'll have the marriage annulled as soon as possible and go back to their own lives. Except Alex isn't sure he wants the annulment. He sets out to woo his wife for real, and Charlotte suddenly finds that her marriage has become very inconvenient indeed.
