Two romantic short stories from the pages of a popular women's magazine.

THE LONG WEEKEND
"The door to my room in the rented ski cabin opened slowly and a tall, broad-shouldered form ducked under the eaves. Oh, no, not glasses! I never could resist a man who looked intelligent and vulnerable at the same time. The eyes behind the glasses surveyed me in my granny gown as if I was wearing a sexy negligee. So this was Mr. Wonderful, the guy my sister had raved about. Not just raved, she was planning our wedding before we'd even met. Brandon was embarrassed. Or maybe just disappointed.
"You must be Brandon," I said brightly, wrapping a blanket around my shoulders. "Either that or you're the cat burglar."
"And you must be Lady Gaga or Buffy the Vampire Slayer."
"Touche," I said.

SMALL-TOWN HERO
"My dreams reflected my confused, excited and bewildered mind. I saw a woman in a strange town packing her suitcase. Was that me getting ready to follow Steve wherever he was going? Or was that his ex-wife walking out on him because life was too dull in his town? And where did that leave me? Was I in love with Steve or was it the way of life I yearned for? The answer was not to see a dream analyst but to follow my heart."

Light romantic fiction for your lunch hour, coffee break or any time you want an escape from real life.

Von Irving, John

Der dreizehnte Roman von John Irving wird erst der zweite sein, der in der ersten Person erzählt ist. Es dreht sich um einen bisexuellen Mann um die sechzig, der auf sein Leben in den Fünfziger- und Sechzigerjahren zurückschaut. Ein sehr intimes, tolerantes und leidenschaftliches Buch, das den Leser laut Kritikerstimme stolz macht, ein Mensch zu sein.

Kurzbeschreibung

Tonight, everything between them will change forever.

?What the critics are saying??

Gail's perfect blend of intrigue, humor and sexual tension, coupled with an in-depth knowledge of Coast Guard procedure, makes this novel one for the keeper shelf. The characters are outstanding, and the antics of the Margarita Monday Sisterhood make a great subplot.
RT Book Reviews ? Donna M. Brown


This wonderful work possessed all of the components necessary to succeed; the plot, while fresh and exciting, was detailed and meticulously written?
The last major confrontation was a total surprise, with a magnificent ending!
The Romance Studio ? Brenda Talley


I loved this story. The situations they are forced into and the danger they face are exhilarating. Ms. Gail has done the research into the day to day life of a Coast Guard team and it comes through loud and clear. This is an excellent tribute to one of the armed services that usually does not get much attention.
