Sisters & Brides

Free spirit AJ Williams couldn't be happier with the legacy her Aunt Jo left her. She's ready for a new adventure—and who wouldn't want to own a bookshop? There's just one little problem. She has to share her bequest with the picky, no-nonsense manager, Blake Sullivan. Even worse? They have to work together for six months in order to claim their inheritance. Blake isn't any more thrilled about Jo's stipulation than AJ is. He runs a tight ship, which is why he's made a success of the business Jo hired him to straighten out. He doesn't need her inexperienced niece butting in and wreaking havoc. As far as he's concerned, this is not a partnership made in heaven. Yet when they're forced to team up to fight an unexpected threat to their inheritance, friendship takes root. And as the six-month mark approaches, might Aunt Jo's legacy lead not only to a business partnership, but the love of a lifetime? Bestselling author Irene Hannon delivers another delightful tale that showcases how love can bloom in unexpected places—and the importance of never judging a book by its cover.

In order to claim her inheritance, she has to become a nanny? Clare Randall is thrilled to receive a bequest from her great-aunt. With her bank account on fumes since tragedy upended her life, a cash infusion is just what she needs. But she's not as thrilled about the strings attached to her legacy. In order to claim her inheritance, she has to work as a nanny for six months for Dr. Adam Wright—a widower she's never met who lives more than a thousand miles away. What was Aunt Jo thinking? Adam is equally shocked when Clare reaches out to him with her odd story. Yet cautious as he is about letting a stranger into his life, he does need help with his truculent and uncooperative eleven-year-old daughter. And maybe, with her teaching credentials, Jo's great-niece will be able to smooth out the waters between him and his daughter...and help him learn a few lessons about love along the way. In this HOLT Medallion finalist, bestselling and award-winning author Irene Hannon takes readers on another heartwarming journey filled with hope and happy endings.

The inheritance is great. The strings? Not so much. Of course, Morgan Williams is grateful to her great-aunt for bequeathing her half ownership in a seaside cottage in Maine—but there's a catch. To claim it, she has to spend four weeks onsite. That's a tall order for an advertising professional who rarely takes four days off, let alone four weeks. As for the other stipulation...that she volunteers for a camp for troubled kids run by her co-heir...what is that all about? Grant Kincaid is equally baffled by the stipulations attached to Jo's legacy. Why would his old friend sic her workaholic great-niece on him? Surely, she knew that after all he'd been through, he'd have little patience with people whose priorities were messed up. When a sudden reversal of fortune leaves Morgan adrift, however, spending time in Maine is no longer a burden but a godsend. And as she and Grant work together to support the camp that's dear to his heart, might they both discover a different legacy than either expected?
