In "At the Snap of Her Finger," Cora, a quiet bookshop assistant, finds herself caught between her growing feelings for the charming author Hunt and the unsettling truth that her cousin Eloise may have a hand in his sudden interest. When Cora discovers a secret kiss between Hunt and Eloise, she flees town, only to later find her own story—her heart, her choices—beautifully woven into Hunt’s new novel. Reuniting with him at a book-signing, she must decide whether to trust the words on the page or the silence between them.

The skies may be their arena, but it’s her feelings that truly matter.

In "Gloria Maltby's Style," society columnist Gloria Maltby’s sharp-tongued secretary Sally finds herself caught between loyalty and justice when Gloria begins publishing Sally’s personal stories under her own name.
