Perfect Timing
When you meet the man of your dreams on girls night out, it’s hardly…Perfect Timing
In this fresh and funny contemporary romance by bestselling author Jill Mansell, Poppy Dunbar’s whole life gets turned upside down after a chance encounter with a handsome stranger...
Never a troublemaker, Poppy had always been content with the way things were supposed to be done—which included marrying predictable Rob McBride. But that was before she met Tom Kennedy the night before her wedding. Could she really be falling in love with a stranger?
Unable to forget Tom, or go through with the wedding, Poppy runs off to London. Her new life and colorful friends are anything but predictable. Misunderstandings, family secrets, and jealous quarrels ensue, but can Poppy stop running long enough to figure out what—or, rather, who—is in her heart?

An Offer You Can’t Refuse
An Offer You Can't Refuse is the charming love story of 17-year-old Lola who refuses to accept a bribe of over $15,000 (by her boyfriend’s snobbish mother no less!) to break up with her boyfriend. After all, she and Dougie are madly in love. But then Lola discovers that her beloved step-dad is in a life-threatening jam and the only way Lola can help is to take the money and break Dougie’s heart. She tells herself that it’s better this way; Dougie was heading off to university and no doubt he was going to meet someone better than her, anyway.
Ten years later, when Lola meets Dougie again, her feelings for him are as strong as ever. She’ll do almost anything to get him back, but she can never tell him the truth. Can she overcome his bitterness and win his heart? Well, she’s feisty, pretty, and endlessly optimistic, but even Lola’s got her work cut out for her this time. Female readers in their 20s to those in their 60s and older will love this romantic romp!
