To Annabelle, With Love - Julianne MacLean
epub | 414.91 KB | English | Author :Julianne MacLean | Julianne MacLean Publishing Inc.
Book Description :
Return to the glittering world of Julianne MacLean's popular American Heiress Trilogy with this romantic, emotionally powerful spin-off series-Can This Be Love
If the man is as wicked as they paint him to be, why does he make Annabelle feel so wonderful?
Annabelle Laon knew nothing about the handsome and charismatic stranger she met on the train-only that he would make an ideal model for the budding young artist-and that she desired him more than she ever believed possible. She is soon lured into a passionate and romantic summer affair, but after she is seduced, she learns that she'd also been betrayed.
The man she thought she loved was really Magnus Wallis-a scoundrel like his father before him, the loathed and vengeful cousin of Annabelle's benefactor, the honorable Earl of Whitby.
Older and wiser, no longer the naïve, romantic girl who would fall for a rogue, Annabelle cannot avoid a reunion with Magnus, who wants to include her paintings in his new London gallery. She means to show him her coldest face-but upon seeing him again, her every intention melts from the heat of his touch. It is clear that Magnus still burns for her, but is he the villain he once was, or can he be redeemed and become a man Annabelle could dare to love?
NOTE: This novel was originally published under the title PORTRAIT OF A LOVER in 2006.

They say everything is fun and games until someone gets hurt. Well, someone did-and now the game has changed.
Emily Bennett works as a therapist in Pennsylvania, helping children overcome their troubled pasts-even as she struggles to forget her own. Once upon a time, Emily was part of a middle college clique called the Harpies-six popular girls who bullied the new girl to her breaking point.
The Harpies took a blood oath: never tell a soul what they did to Grace Farmer.
Now, fourteen years later, it seems karma has caught up to them when one member of that vicious circle commits suicide. But when a second Harpy is discovered dead shortly after, also from apparent suicide, the deaths start to look suspicious. And when Emily starts seeing a woman who looks a lot like Grace Farmer lurking in the shado, she's forced to wonder: Is Grace back for revenge? Or is Emily's guilt driving her mad?
Sticks and stones may break your bones, but the Harpies are about to find out just how much words can hurt you.

When he prevents her from joining the others on a one-way trip back to Earth, she decides to get there any way she can. She slips away without a word on the next transport leaving Command Warship 1. She needs to see her home and what's left of the world she left behind before she can even consider beginning a new life anywhere else. Kol and Ada Jane want the same things out of life despite their very different opinions of exactly what that entails. They want home, love, and the security within which to enjoy it. Once on Earth, there are obstacles at every turn working against them. Will they be able to overcome all they face and find their way to each other? Warning: Intended for mature audiences.
