A young woman jilted by her ex-fiancé is given a second shot at love when her meddling relatives contrive ways to pair her up with her handsome neighbor in this laugh-out-loud contemporary romance novella that will sweep you off your feet. After Sophie's long-term boyfriend decides he doesn't want to marry her, she flies back home to her native Philippines with her tail tucked between her legs. Forget romance. With the help of Ninang, her wealthy grand-aunt on her mother's side, she picks her pieces back up and throws herself headfirst into her dream project: opening a coffee shop on the famous beach resort island of Dalisay. But there's a catch. Ninang agrees to help fund the cost of starting a new business, if and only if Sophie hosts her younger sister, Narra, and their cousin, Layla for the summer. Fresh out of college, Narra and Layla have come to Dalisay for three months of fun and romance, and they refuse to leave Sophie out of it. Enter Archie Hastings. A smooth-talking, motorcycle-riding Brit, he moved to the island to work at a non-profit and nurse a heartbreak of his own. When Narra indulges in a little too much fun and romance, he's there to help Sophie save the day, only to find himself pulled into a scheme to get Sophie-and by extension, himself-laid. Sophie just wants to be left alone. But love has a funny way of sneaking up on you, and this summer, on the beautiful sunny island of Dalisay, where the white sand is soft like powder and the blue sea impossibly clear, it might just catch her off-guard. * * * "True North is the perfect beach summer read, especially for those who want something short & sweet! I enjoyed every moment; Archie & Sophie's story having me smile from ear-to-ear. I also loved how there was great focus on friendships & sisterhood." - Tine

Only three things stand in the way of the life Nell had always envisioned for herself: a bookstore, its book club, and the boy of her dreams. When Nell's brother-in-law walks out on her pregnant sister, it falls on Nell's shoulders to cover their mountain of bills. To do so, she must convince the owner of a secondhand bookstore to sell his property so she can earn a commission. But when she visits the store, two unexpected things happen: the owner offers her a job sorting the shelves-extra income!-and her childhood crush, Thomas Whelan, turns out to be the only other employee there. Only a fool would turn that opportunity down. When Thomas reveals he needs help with his love life, it seems all too perfect: get an in with Tom by helping him prepare for his dates, recruit him towards her cause of convincing their boss to sell, get paid, and live happily ever after. Except the more time she spends with Tom, the more she gets attached: to him, to the bookstore that soon might not even exist, and its customers. Set in a small town in the throes of gentrification, Second Chance Books is a novel that explores the power of love, literature, and community when it comes to changing and saving lives. * * * ""Second Chance Books" is a heartwarming romance novel that explores the power of forgiveness, selflessness and faith in Love.

Stories my Best Friend wrote back when we were in High School. This are stories that features the famous boy band at this time, One Direction. You might not see them as what they are in this stories because they are not like that anymore. Unless if you have known the boys since 2010 or 2011 then you'll see them as the "Fetus 1D" we, Directioners, refer to the lads. All stories are by "Daria". I have hee permission in posting her stories in my account. Hope you like it.
