That Forever Girl by Meghan Quinn

That Forever Girl by Meghan Quinn

My intentions were to show students how English and reading books could actually be fun and make a new life for myself in the suburbs of Chicago. But so far, I’ve managed to be called into the principal’s office… Read more.

At five and twenty, Prudence Merryweather knew very well the risks a woman took by visiting a gentleman in the dead of night.

And that was why she found herself ushered into Sebastian’s forbidding presence at three in the morning–and thoroughly kissed before dawn. She was a country-bred innocent–and an intriguing experience for a man who dwelt more in the shadows than in the sunshine. Yet as her boldness drew Prue into one dangerous episode after another, Sebastian found himself… Read more.
