Two great books in one great collection! Triumphant stories told with humor and heart, Met Her Match and Something Like Happy are the perfect books for a summer escape.
Met Her Match by Jude Deveraux
Terri Rayburn is a girl with a reputation. She doesn’t deserve it, but she knows the only way to deal with vicious gossip is to ignore it. When she returns home from a trip to find a handsome stranger living in her house, she smells a rat. Someone is trying to fix her up, and she has to admit that Nate Taggert is just her type. However, Nate is engaged to the mayor’s daughter and is strictly off-limits.
Nate and Terri form an unlikely friendship but when Nate starts to hear rumors about Terri he’s confused. Knowing how smart, beautiful and strong she is, he’s determined to discover the source of the gossip, even if the truth might be more than either of them can handle.
Something Like Happy by Eva Woods
Annie is stuck. In her boring job, with her irritating roommate, in a life no thirty-five-year-old would want. But deep down, she’s still mourning the loss that tore a hole through her perfect existence. That is until she meets the bright, bubbly, intrusive Polly, who convinces Annie to join her on a mission: They must each do one happy thing each day, for one hundred days. But as the daily challenge opens Annie up to the possibility of joy—and perhaps even love with the unlikeliest of men—it becomes clear that Polly is about to need her more than ever. And Annie will have to decide once and for all whether letting others in is a risk worth taking.
Genre: General Fiction
