Lauren teases out their slow burn relationship expertly, and some of my favorite scenes are their intimate moments they share before they actually hit the sheets. (And the boss in Bastard, Bennett Ryan, even makes a special appearance to make the same observation!) Christina Lauren puts the office romance setup to good use with some racy romantic scenes designed to loosen up the sexually repressed Niall. The intern/boss trope has shades of Beautiful Bastard. She’s patient with Niall and enjoys introducing him to new sexy, playful experiences, but at the same time she has real feelings for the guy and doesn’t just want to be just the rebound. She is very driven in her career and doesn’t want to sabotage her chances to nab a spot in the graduate program at Oxford. Ruby, meanwhile, has lusted after Niall for ages and even engages in a little stalkery behavior. He’s cautious and doesn’t wear his heart on his sleeve. He married his high school sweetheart and they grew apart so this dating thing is very new to him. Niall is nothing like his brother Max – he’s more straight-laced and reserved. I’m up to date on Christina Lauren’s novels but not their novellas, and I believe I missed Niall Stella’s introduction in Beautiful Beloved. But when Niall and Ruby are asked to go on a month-long business trip to New York, he can’t help but notice the striking and very smitten intern. The ink is barely dry on his divorce papers and hooking up with the intern is not high on his list of priorities. She has it bad for Niall Stella, an executive at the firm. UC San Diego graduate Ruby Miller is in London for a coveted engineering internship. The action takes place in London and NYC, where Niall Stella (brother to Max) and Ruby Miller push the boundaries of their boss/intern relationship. In this book, two worlds collide when a character from the Wild Seasonsseries pairs up with the brother of a character from the Beautiful series.

Will Heather find healing for body and spirit? As the lives of four wounded souls begin to weave together like an Amish patchwork quilt, they each discover missing pieces of their life puzzles - and glimpse the merciful and loving hand of God.Narrator: Charlotte Penfield, Jonathan Cole

In denial and telling no one she is terminally ill, Heather travels to Lancaster County - the last place she and her mother had visited together. Surely fate would not allow her father to lose his only daughter after the death of his wife a few years before. Heather Nelson is an English grad student, stunned by a doctor's diagnosis. Left to pick up the pieces of her life, Grace questions all she has been taught about love, family, and commitment.

Her mother's disappearance leaves Grace reeling and unable to keep her betrothal promise to her long-time beau. Why does her mother weep in the night? Why does her father refuse to admit something is dreadfully wrong? Then, in one startling moment, everything Grace assumed she knew is shattered. In the seemingly ordinary Amish home of Grace Byler, secrets abound.
