In the wedding of the decade, Geraldine Glamorgan's millions were united with Steve Courtlandt's aristocratic name. Both young, handsome, vibrantly alive, they found themselves, "for better or for worse," bound in a glittering - and empty - marriage of convenience.

Then tragedy brought Steve the ownership of a ranch out West. Gamely, Geraldine went with him, forfeiting her income and defying her father's wishes, in order to live as a simple rancher's wife. Just as it seemed that their new life might at last bring them together, mysterious events endangered her safety and a misunderstanding threatened to wreck her new-found happiness.

Evangeline had spent many a fanciful moment creating fantasies that involved Seth. Seth and his grandmother was her new neighbours. In her 'Cinderella' moments she had hoped he might be her Prince Charming. If he offered to marry her, many of her troubles would vanish in an instant. His grandmother was happy to engineer things between them but Evie also knew she wasn't his type. Seth put up with his grandmother's shennigans but he could see that Evie's farm was struggling. But that didn't mean that he was going to be her meal ticket. He'd already provided that for one woman. He was not going to be taken for a ride again. But a convenience marriage might be useful for both. (Story linked to books- "Heartbeat in Moonlight" and "Dream in Moonlight")

An introduction to her cousin's fiancée wasn't something high on the list of priorities in Grace Forsyth's life. As usual, her cousin had her wish granted, as she forced Grace to organise the flowers for the wedding. Grace assumed that her new fiancée would be a replica of her other husbands. Old, bald, wealthy, blind in their adoration towards her cousin, but at most annoying. It turned out that Alec Matheson fit none of those categories. He looked downright handsome, made her laugh, and was too darn sweet in the way he treated Grace. After their first disastrous meeting, Grace thought it would be best to avoid him. There would be disaster on the horizon if she fell for a man destined for her stunning cousin. When it turned out that Alec was the one in charge of organising the wedding for his father, also named Alec, Grace could relax. She could now explore her attraction for him. Madison continued shoving Grace into wedding organisation, giving Grace too many excuses to spend time with him. When Alec seems infatuated with her, Grace ran with her emotions. An offer of a new home and a life far different from her own seems too good for her to refuse. What happens when secrets denied become fact? How can Grace see through the doubt to the truth? Had Alec fooled her all along? Grace wondered if she would be the one left holding the flowers, but Alec may have some surprises up his sleeve that she would never expect.

The Edge of Misery: The Mitchel Brothers Series Book Two by BritCYancey
22 parts Complete
** Picks up where The Edge of Hell (Mitchell Brothers Series Book One) left off** If there's one thing Declan Mitchell learned from watching his mama almost die from the heartbreak of losing his daddy to a war nineteen years ago, it was that a great and powerful love delivered an equally devastating heartbreak and suffering-the kind he had every intention of avoiding like the bubonic plague. And until traveling west to Idaho Territory and coming face to face with the mismatch-eyed, auburn-haired beauty, Wren McCrawdon, he believed he might succeed in carrying out his plans of never marrying. Molded by her traumatic journey west when she was twelve, twenty-four-year-old, accident-prone Wren McCrawdon's life on her family's ranch in Falcon Ridge, Idaho, is full of back-breaking work, beginning as dawn's first rays peek across the mountains and ending long after the sun sets when she can barely drag her weary bones up the stairs to her bedroom. But from the morning Declan Mitchell and his family arrive, her miserable existence becomes more bearable until tragedy strikes when all she sees are the harsh realities of loss and suffering. Concerned for Wren's safety and remembering how bitter the edge of misery was after his daddy died-Declan discovers he's willing to do anything he can to take it away from her... even if it means a marriage of convenience is the only suitable solution. There are only two problems: first, it's already apparent he's following in his mama's footsteps toward eventual heartbreak, and second he somehow has to convince Wren to agree.

After a highly contagious disease caused the downfall of mankind as they know it, married couple Sophia and Tom were forced to leave their home and seek a way to survive in more than ever unforgiving conditions, scavenging for food, collecting rainwater, migrating to the south for the winter, and fending off both hostile survivors and dangerously aggressive Infected. Being nomads made for rather unpleasant interactions with settled communities and pushed them into complete isolation. Their relationship grew each day more bitter, binding them only through the sheer inability to let go of life, no matter how brutal or dreadful it got. Unexpected sudden encounters will make them question their past, feelings, and motivations, as they navigate the ruins of their sense of self and of their close-to-failing marriage. "[...] in any case, destiny, or whatever higher power acting upon them, had a splendid way of forcing self and mutual reflection for the umpteenth time in about two weeks."
