Hmmph. Have you noticed that Mothers Day is always on a Sunday? A day that is already a day off. I think it would be better if we change Mothers Day to a different day, maybe a Friday. Make a full three day weekend for mothers. I think we deserve it. Don’t get me wrong, yesterday was wonderful spending it with my family and eating great food. I’m just saying we should celebrate it on a day that isn’t already a day off. Perhaps even celebrate it on a Monday. We could test it out right now if you like. How about all moms just stay in bed today and wait for our breakfast to arrive. What do you say? Go back to bed mothers and see if it works.

Rosalind James
Genre: Romance | Contemporary Fiction | Women’s Fiction
FREE for a limited time
Everyone needs to be rescued sometimes. Everyone but Hannah Montgomery, that is. She just needs a vacation. Three weeks in New Zealand to sort out her life, figure out what she wants, seems just right. Oh, and to relax. She should definitely put that on the agenda. She certainly isn’t looking for a sexy fling with a professional rugby player, no matter how attractive he is. Hannah doesn’t do casual. But maybe just this once… As much as he’s shared with Hannah, Drew Callahan has kept one very big secret: that he’s the captain of the All Blacks, New Zealand’s international rugby team, not to mention the best-known rugby player on earth. And learning the truth, now that she’s back home again, has made Hannah warier than ever. Drew knows that she’s right for him. But how can he convince her to let down her guard enough to explore what they could have together?
Note: This romance, like New Zealand, contains some steam. If that isn’t your cuppa, you may want to visit another country… er, book.

Kayla’s world has been turned upside-down… Her father has made her the prize in a deadly, impossible tournament, and Kayla has retaliated in the only way she knows how; by choosing her champion beforehand. But taking control of the outcome changes the game completely, and when the real reason behind the strange test becomes apparent, Kayla realizes not just her life, but her entire kingdom is at stake. Rane’s honor is torn in two… In order to save his brother, Rane will do whatever he has to-including deceive and betray a princess. He knew nothing about this tournament would be easy, but when it turns into a deeper, far more sinister game, Rane is forced to see it through to the end, or leave his brother at the mercy of their enemy. Now their fates are entwined, and they must venture into the deep, dark forest together… Kayla and Rane are bound to one another by an enchantment and Kayla’s actions. But the sorcerer forcing them to do his will may have miscalculated, because no-one comes out of the Great Forest unchanged. No-one.
The Golden Apple is followed by its sequel, The Silver Pear.
