All''s faire in love and war for two sworn enemies who indulge in a harmless flirtation in a laugh-out-loud rom-com from debut author Jen DeLuca.Emily knew there would be strings attached when she relocated to the small town of Willow Creek, Maryland, for the summer to help her sister recover from an accident, but who could anticipate getting roped into volunteering for the local Renaissance Faire alongside her teenaged niece? Or that the irritating and inscrutable schoolteacher in charge of the volunteers would be so annoying that she finds it impossible to stop thinking about him?The faire is Simon''s family legacy and from the start he makes clear he doesn''t have time for Emily''s lighthearted approach to life, her oddball Shakespeare conspiracy theories, or her endless suggestions for new acts to shake things up. Yet on the faire grounds he becomes a different person, flirting freely with Emily when she''s in her revealing wench''s costume. But is this attraction real, or just part of the characters they''re portraying? This summer was only ever supposed to be a pit stop on the way to somewhere else for Emily, but soon she can''t seem to shake the fantasy of establishing something more with Simon or a permanent home of her own in Willow Creek.

"Small Florida coastal towns often find themselves scrambling for the tourism dollars that the Orlando theme parks leave behind. And within the town limits of Boneyard Key, the residents decided long ago to lean into its ghostliness. Nick Royer, owner of the Hallowed Grounds coffee shop, embraces the ghost tourism that keeps the local economy afloat, as well as his spectral roommate. At least he doesn't have to run air-conditioning. Cassie Rutherford possibly overreacted to all her friends getting married and having kids by leaving Orlando and buying a flipped historic cottage in Boneyard Key. Though there's something unusual with her new home (her laptop won't charge in any outlets, and the poetry magnets on her fridge definitely didn't read "WRONG" and "MY HOUSE" when she put them up), she's charmed by the colorful history surrounding her. And she's catching a certain vibe from the grumpy coffee shop owner whenever he slips her a free slice of banana bread along with her coffee order. As Nick takes her on a ghost tour, sharing town gossip that tourists don't get to hear, and they spend nights side-by-side looking into the former owners of her haunted cottage, their connection solidifies into something very real and enticing. But Cassie's worried she's in too deep with this whole (haunted) home ownership thing...and Nick's afraid to get too close in case Cassie gets scared away for good."--

Wer kann schon einem Highlander widerstehen? Alles beginnt mit nur drei kleinen Worten: Spiel meine Freundin! Daraufhin bleibt April Parker erst mal der Mund offen stehen. Hat Mitch Malone - der begehrteste Junggeselle von Willow Creek - gerade allen Ernstes vorgeschlagen, dass sie sich als seine Freundin ausgibt? Nur um seine Verwandten bei der nächsten Familienfeier davon abzuhalten, über seinen unsteten Lebenswandel zu meckern? Das Ganze kommt ihr absurd vor - schließlich ist April deutlich älter als Mitch -, aber sie lässt sich darauf ein. Für einen Freund ihrer kleinen Schwester kann sie einen Abend opfern. Nur wird aus dem einen Abend plötzlich ein Wochenendtrip, und im Laufe dieser zwei Tage verschwimmt die Grenze zwischen dem, was echt, und dem, was nur gespielt ist. Und als April dann auch noch das erste Mal beim Willow-Creek-Mittelalterfestival mitmacht, bei dem Mitch jedes Jahr als Highlander auftritt, wird alles noch verwirrender. Denn Mitch im Kilt ist ein Anblick, dem selbst die stärkste Frau kaum widerstehen kann ...Band 3 der Willow-Creek-Reihe - unabhängig lesbar.

Jeden Sommer findet in ihrer Heimatstadt Willow Creek ein Mittelalterfestival statt, und Stacey nimmt als Schaustellerin daran teil. Sie schlüpft in eine andere Rolle, fühlt sich frei und glücklich. Bis das Festival wieder vorbei ist. Seufz. In ihrem Leben muss sich etwas ändern. Sie weiß nur nicht, was. Bis sie eine E-Mail an einen Mann schreibt, den sie viel weniger gut kennt, als sie denkt ...«E-Mail für dich» trifft Mittelalterfestival!Band 2 der Willow-Creek-Reihe
