"Between you and me, who do you think will survive?" Eleanor Penn fears her past. She loathes falling for the man of her dreams, receiving his love and still failing to be with him. Who is she to stop him when he chose to walk away himself? But destiny declines their tragedy and puts them together once more. The Soulmate Selection challenges multiple hearts at once, a competition that says one thing, does another. Love is absolute; Deceit is key and the past must remain hidden. Can Eleanor truly survive? Should she survive, can she win? "I'm not the girl you knew. But she still lives inside me, spinning hatred on the yarn of love. But that's okay. She doesn't need to come out. We, no longer need to happen."

***The wrong girl is sometimes The Right One.*** Charlotte Samuels thought she'd be stuck waiting tables at Marlow's until all her debts are paid off-in about ten thousand years or so. She definitely didn't expect a marriage proposal from the arrogant Brandon Maxfield who was blackmailed by his father to make her his wife if he didn't want his least favorite cousin to run Maxfield Industries. Charlotte's instinct was to say HELL NO! but she's stumped by a few obstacles: 1.) His old man Martin Maxfield is dear to her heart and has been recently deteriorating in health. 2.) She gets a million dollars if she stays married to Brandon for a year. 3.) She would rather like the opportunity to teach the attractive but awfully rude man a few lessons he didn't think he needed from a 'teenage gold-digger' which was his term of endearment for her on their first date-er, business meeting. So what's a girl got to do, right? Sure, she's young and a little rough around the edges but there's something her would-be husband didn't know about her yet-she's nothing like he ever expected. Thrust into the glitzy world a standard-issue Mrs. Maxfield would fit perfectly and rule with impeccable social grace, Charlotte will either have to force herself into the mold or break free of it, risking what little she has left for everything that she can gain. *** Copyright © 2014 by Nina Tippett.

We've been in Charlotte's head throughout the whole epic ride of her life, glimpsing the mind and heart of the prince who swept this not-so-proper princess off her feet. If you want to see more of what went through Brandon's mind, read on. See what it's like from this side of the fairy tale... ***PLEASE DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU HAVE NOT FINISHED The Mischievous Mrs. Maxfield.*** Author's Note: These are not duplicates of scenes that have been depicted in The Mischievous Mrs. Maxfield told from Brandon's POV.

"When I woke up, I had already lived two lives. One was stolen, and the other I gave away for you. This time," she paused, "this time, I will live for myself." Armine has lived-and died-twice. Once in her own world and once as a side character in someone else's story. Now, she's been given life, again. This time, Armine refuses to be a pawn in anyone else's narrative. But as she rewrites her destiny, she begins to wonder: why was she brought back? Was it chance, or is there a greater purpose behind her return? In Life, Again, second chances are never simple-and neither is love. ---
