It was her father's dying wish that Samantha Elliot search for her grandmother, who'd disappeared from
Louisville when she was a baby. So here she was, in big, dirty New York City ...her parents were dead, her divorce was final, and she was all alone ....
Michael Taggert was Samantha's landlord, and he was easily the most beautiful man she'd ever seen. He was charming, too--his zest for life was so contagious that in his presence Sam bloomed like a flower after the rain. Yet Mike could only get so far with her--when he tried to get closer, it was like running into a brick wall. But Mike wouldn't give up.

Title : Angela's Ashes
Author : Frank McCourt
Condition :9/10
Status : Sold to Mdm Agatha
In Angela's Ashes, Frank McCourt tells the story of his impoverished childhood and adolescence in Limerick, Ireland, during the 1930s and 1940s. Written from the point of view of the young boy, it is a long catalogue of deprivation and hardship: the alcoholism of his father, the despair of his mother, the deaths of three of his younger siblings, the grinding poverty and unsanitary living conditions they all had to endure. The story takes place in a highly religious society in which the dogmas of Roman Catholicism are accepted without question. In addition to Catholicism, the people of Limerick exhibit a narrow provincialism, in which Protestants and anyone who comes from the north of Ireland are despised, and an Irish nationalism that is fueled by hatred of the English. And yet the effect of the story, although often poignant and sad, is not depressing. The young narrator describes the events without bitterness, anger, or blame. Poverty and hardship are treated simply as if they are a fact of life, like the weather. And in spite of the hard circumstances, many episodes are hilarious.
The combination of childhood innocence, riotous humor, and descriptions of a degree of poverty beyond anything that contemporary readers in the West could imagine made Angela's Ashes a huge commercial success. It is regarded as an outstanding contribution to the growing popularity of the genre of the memoir.

A proud and spirited woman whose life was stolen from her.... A man of secrets accused of a terrible crime.... In a place of new beginnings their destinies are joined --
In an era of treacherous uncertainties, Shemaine O'Hearn -- the fiery and outspoken daughter of one of England's most successful businessmen -- has made powerful enemies. And those who wish her ill have found a way to remove the hot-blooded beauty from her life of privilege -- falsely convicting her of thievery and forcing her in shackles aboard a crowded slave ship bound for America, where she is to be sold in indentured servitude to the highest bidder.
In a bustling port city in the colony of Virginia, Shemaine becomes the servant of Gage Thorton -- a shipbuilder with a young child in need of a nanny. In a rustic cabin in the woods, far from the whispered rumors that cruelly condemn the handsome widower for the untimely death of his wife, Shemaine cannot ignore her desire for this caring, generous and enigmatic man who silently aches with his growing need for her -- even as a grave peril reaches out from across a vast ocean to invade their new life and threaten their flowering love.

Originally published under the pseudonym Susan Lynn Crose, one of Jackson's most sizzling novels is now back in print. The mystical Morgana predicts that a dark rider will bring death to her ancestral home unless she finds a way to change destiny. Reissue.
Dear Reader,
"Enchantress" is a special book to me as it allowed me my first glimpse into the beauty of medieval Wales. With this book I created a very magical place -- my own unique world of castles, dark heroes, strong women, fleet horses, and rumors of curses. I found the experience fascinating. Writing the book consumed me.
The heroine, Morgana of Llanwynn, is a beautiful, headstrong girl whom many consider a sorceress. She's known to see into the future, a gift she considers a curse. One night when the moon is high and the mist rises off the sea, Morgana experiences a vision of darkness and deceit. She sees a dark and deadly warrior appear and hears the omen rushing in her ears: There will be death. It comes to the house of Wenlock from the North.
Days later, Garrick of Abergwynn, the dark lord of a vast castle to the north and the embodiment of the fierce warrior appears. Seductive and brooding, he demands that Morgana help him locate his missing son.
Morgana is loath to trust this destroyer from the north...and yet she finds it impossible to resist him.
"Enchantress" is a story close to my heart, and I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did writing it.
-- Lisa Jackson
