Welcome to Oakville, a contemporary small town where people still know their neighbors, friendships last a lifetime, and gossip is a force of nature Stories 1-3 from one of your favorite best-selling authors. Heart of Stone Liz Archer dislikes big-city lawyer Trent Callahan on sight. Not only does he remind her of her two-timing ex-husband, he never seems to stop bragging: about his skills, his money, even his cooking. She calls him Mr. Arrogant. A successful commercial banker, Liz is attractive, warm-hearted and single, but wants nothing to do with romance. Occasional friends with benefits, okay-she's not made of stone. But she's determined never to fall in love, especially not with the dangerously handsome Trent However, Trent doesn't seem to be getting the message, and her growing affection for his two sad-eyed kids doesn't make it any easier to keep him at a distance. Then Liz must face an accusation that could destroy her career and even send her to prison, and she just might have to turn to Mr. Arrogant for help. Comfort & Joy "Star light, star bright..." Unsettled by his ex-lover's wedding, Sid wishes on a star, for joy. Could lanky orange-haired Melody, newly divorced from a controlling husband, be the answer to his wish? Can a never-married, 40-year-old yoga teacher with a very simple lifestyle find happiness with a woman who fills her home with rescue animals and riotous color? And what exactly is causing Sid to panic? Heart of Stone Sharon Hall's biological clock is ticking. Policeman Jack Kennett appeals to the cuddly librarian, very much-but his attitude toward the library's less-fortunate makes her wonder if he's too cold-hearted for marriage and fatherhood. Meanwhile, a very odd young man seems to be getting dangerously obsessed with Sharon.
