Clay DeVries grew up… poor, hard-working and so much in love that it hurt--particularly since the woman he loved couldn't even be bothered to acknowledge his existence.Years later, Clay is still scrambling but doing well enough that he's been able to buy the local garage where he has worked for ten years and, in the middle of a typical Southern summer cloudburst, he stops to help a stranded motorist and is once again stung by the haughty indifference of the woman he still loves from afar--until he discovers that her father has died and left her penniless. His rescue attempt is stymied by the fact that she still expects everything to be handed to her on a silver platter, even though she doesn't have the means to pay for it. Physical attraction can only carry you so far when the differences in expectations are so vast and even a reversal of fortune that restores Jewell to her family home and wealth only accentuates the differences between them.They both want to marry but Clay can't stand her life of wealth, empty friendships and meaningless activity and he can't believe that she can live any other way. True love never runs smooth but is there even a ray of hope that two such disparate lives can come together?

Stanley Noseworthy is, at best, a serial monogamist. At worst, a faithless rake. Now his record-breaking long-term lover ("1001 better-than-Arabian… nights") Nina is fed up with his "inimitable bull%#$#" and threatening to end their relationship. "Show us there is some good in you," Stanley's best friend urges. "Show us there is a brain." But Stanley's decisions do not tend to be made by his brain. He has profoundly mixed feelings about losing Nina, for he is nothing if not a profoundly mixed (up) fellow. Stanley is either a dedicated artist or a posturing fraud, a charming rogue or a shallow lothario, tragic victim or pathetic loser--or all of the above. ("Vote Online!" Stanley might well say to this, for he is always prepared to satirize his own life as sharply as the life around him.) Meanwhile, Stanley's beloved artists' cooperative, The "Hotel Beaux-Arts" (hence Bozarts) to its inhabitants, is also under threat. Since its endowment a quarter-century ago by the august Canterbury Institute of Technology, the "Bozarts" has had a frequently glorious, always rambunctious, character-rich history. Lately, mysteriously, it has been dwindling toward extinction. Stanley (who may or may not be paranoid) fears the reason for this is either that the Institute wants its building back for more profitable use, or that George W. Bush has declared an end to Art and Thought in America--or both of the above.
Tailan Song has four days to pull off the biggest accomplishment of her career or lose everything she's worked so… hard to gain. Throwing all her energy into making a Midwest tour for twenty-one authors work when everyone expects failure is certain to keep her mind off of the turmoil in her personal life. That is, until her high school sweetheart, Delvin Germaine, now an Oscar-winning actor, lands on the bus at the last minute, and the heartthrob spells certain trouble for Tailan. Years before, the couple complicated their lives by bringing another woman into the relationship to bear Delvin's children. When threatened with losing the family he always wanted, Delvin felt he had no choice but to marry the surrogate and send Tailan packing, in spite of the fact that he loved Tailan like he loved no other woman. Now seven years later, Fate has given Delvin four days to right old wrongs, and he'll use everything in his power to win Tailan back. Unfortunately, Tailan is harboring a secret that she's kept not only from him, but from the world. His determination to have her will turn the tables and make him have to either share Tailan with another man or walk away from the strongest love he's ever known.

En el momento más álgido de la noche, Cameron Brodie, el simpático dueño de un pub escocés local, aparece para solicitar un presupuesto para celebrar allí el congreso anual de la Asociación Escocesa de Cazadores de Mitos Antiguos. Ante tal encargo, que las afianzaría en el marco hostelero de la cuidad, Beatriz trata de diseñar un programa atractivo para los posibles huéspedes. Y para ello, necesitará la ayuda de Cam, que ejercerá de intermediario con la asociación escocesa. Lo que Bea no espera es que, mientras dedica todo su esfuerzo en conseguir que el evento de la asociación de cazadores de mitos se realice en el hotel, el emisario se vuelva todavía más interesante que la tarea que tiene entre manos.
