Synopsis of How Stella Got Her Groove Back:

Stella Payne is forty-two, divorced, a high-powered investment analyst, mother of eleven-year-old Quincy - and she does it all. In fact, if she doesn't do it, it doesn't get done, from Little League carpool duty to analyzing portfolios to folding the laundry and bringing home the bacon. She does it all well, too, if her chic house, personal trainer, BMW and her loving son are any indication. So what if there's been no one to share her bed with lately, let alone rock her world? Stella doesn't mind too much; she probably wouldn't have the energy for love - and all of love's nasty fallout - anyway.

But when Stella takes a spur-of-the-moment vacation to Jamaica, her world gets rocked to the core not just by the relaxing effects of sun and sea and an island full of attractive men, but by one man in particular. He's tall, lean, soft-spoken, Jamaican, smells of citrus and the ocean - and is half her age. The tropics have cast their spell and Stella soon realizes she has come to a cataclysmic juncture: not only must she confront her hopes and fears about love, she must question all of her expectations, passions, and ideas about life and the way she has lived it.

Synopsis:

Private Lives
A naked stranger, fast asleep! Fin was used to dealing with problems; they were part and parcel of the domestic help agency which she ran with such success. But this was a situation she hadn't encountered before! Exactly who was Jake Danvers and what was his history? And, more importantly, how was Fin going to fight her disturbing attraction?

Memories Of The Past
Helen's father might think the sun rose and set on Caleb Jones, but she certainly didn't intend to be taken in by his surface charm. It was true that Caleb didn't act like the tough, cynical businessman she had imagined. And, unlike most men in his situation, he clearly doted on the young nephew whom he was bringing up single-handed. But Helen was determined not to change her views about him. Not even when she realised that she was falling in love with the man...

Forbidden Surrender
The physical resemblance between Sara and the wealthy Marie Lindlay was striking, and their new-found friendship looked as if it was going to be just as close. But Dominic Thorne, Marie's fiance, wasn't going to rest until he had received a satisfactory explanation for their likeness. His investigations revealed that the two girls was in fact twins and, although neither girl knew of the other's existence, they had curiously shared similar experiences in their lives. Did this serious of coincidences carry over into the emotional realm as well? Sara wondered, as much to her dismay, she found that too she too was falling in love with Dominic.

Lovers In The Afternoon
Adam Faulkner reminded Leonie Grant of her ex-husband in many ways - he was rich, handsome and self-confident. But her husband had been undemonstrative, and had found her klutzy behaviour annoying. Which she could hardly accuse Adam of - he was more considerate, more fun, and definitely more passionate! But then, lovers always were, and she was right not to want a husband. But for how long would they be lovers in the afternoon?

Trying to escape the ghosts of the past, young widow Stella Rothchild, along with her two energetic little boys, has moved back to her roots in southern Tennessee - and into her new life at Harper House and In the Garden nursery. She isn’t intimidated by the house - nor its mistress, local legend Roz Harper.

Despite a reputation for being difficult, Roz has been nothing but kind to Stella, offering her a comfortable new place to live and a challenging new job as manager of the flourishing nursery. As Stella settles comfortably into her new life, she finds a nurturing friendship with Roz and with expectant mother Hayley. And she discovers a fierce attraction with ruggedly handsome landscaper Logan Kitridge. But someone isn’t happy about the budding romance…the Harper Bride. As the women dig into the history of Harper House, they discover that grief and rage have kept the Bride’s spirit alive long past her death. And now, she will do anything to destroy the passion that Logan and Stella share...

#2 Black Rose
A Harper has always lived at Harper House, the centuries-old mansion just outside of Memphis. And for as long as anyone alive remembers, the ghostly Harper Bride has walked the halls, singing lullabies at night...

At forty-five, Rosalind Harper is a woman whose experiences have made her strong enough to bend without breaking - and weather any storm. A widow with three grown sons, she survived a disastrous second marriage, and built her In the Garden nursery from the ground up.Through the years, In the Garden has become more than just a thriving business - it is a symbol of hope and independence to Roz, and to the two women she shares it with. Newlywed Stella and new mother Hayley are the sisters of her heart, and together, the three of them are the future of In the Garden.

But now that future is under attack, and Roz knows they can't fight this battle alone. Hired to investigate Roz's Harper ancestors, Dr. Mitchell Carnegie finds himself just as intrigued with Roz herself. And as they begin to unravel the puzzle of the Harper Bride's identity, Roz is shocked to find herself falling for the fascinating genealogist. Now it is a desperate race to discover the truth before the unpredictable apparition lashes out at the one woman who can help her rest in peace...

#3 Red Lily
A Harper has always lived at Harper House, the centuries-old mansion just outside of Memphis. And for as long as anyone alive remembers, the ghostly Harper Bride has walked the halls, singing lullabies at night...

Hayley Phillips came to Memphis hoping for a new start, for herself and her unborn child. She wasn't looking for a handout from her distant cousin Roz, just a job at her thriving In the Garden nursery. What she found was a home surrounded by beauty and the best friends she's ever had - including Roz's son Harper. To Hayley's delight, her new daughter Lily has really taken to him. To Hayley's chagrin, she has begun to dream about Harper - as much more than a friend...

If Hayley gives in to her desire, she's afraid the foundation she's built with Harper will come tumbling down. Especially since she's begun to suspect that her feelings are no longer completely her own. Flashes of the past and erratic behavior make Hayley believe that the Harper Bride has found a way inside of her mind and body. It's time to put the Bride to rest once and for all, so Hayley can know her own heart again - and whether she's willing to risk it...
