Breaking Up Is Hard to Do

Who's Your Daddy?

WHEN LIFE THROWS YOU A CURVE ... Single father Sam Lowery was good at many things, but raising his little girl to be a lady didn't seem to be one of them. So before his precious daughter started swearing like a truck driver, Sam set out to find a nanny who could steer her in the feminine direction ... and in walked sunshine, aka Erin O'Grady. The redheaded beauty was all female, and before long she'd charmed his daughter and jumpstarted Sam's on-hiatus libido. Then Sam was forced to confront his family history, and lovely Erin offered an ear to bend and a shoulder to cry on. And then she offered hi.

And Then There Were Three

Lila Moreno and her two best friends, Meryl Morgenstern are social mutants. Not because of who they are, but who their guy-repellent daddies are. Lila's dad is the chief of police; Meryl's dad is the football coach, the driver's ed instructor, and the dean of discipline at the high school; and Caressa's dad is a famous musician. Boys are too terrified and intimidated by the girls' dads to come anywhere near them. So Lila, Meryl, and Caressa decide to take matters into their own hands. On the night of homecoming, instead of going dateless, they hold a Dumb Supper -- a Celtic ritual that shows single young women who their soul mates are. The dinner doesn't go exactly as planned, but never could they guess how much this loser's alternative to homecoming would change their lives.

¡Por fin llega el día! Sí, Lucy Oliveira se casa, y todo a pesar de un pequeño problema: su familia está maldecida y su matrimonio está predestinado a fracasar. Todos que la conocen están de acuerdo: simplemente no existen esperanzas. Pero la superstición de los Oliveiras no contaba con las tres mejores amigas de Lucy-- Cristina, Mercedes y Annette --quienes están decididas a que llegue al altar y disfrute de un matrimonio duradero y feliz. Y lo logran-- o por lo menos así parece ser. Cuando Lucy escapa corriendo del banquete de boda, todos los trapos salen al aire, y a cada una le toca enfrentar sus propios problemas. Juntas salen de viaje hacia las montañas de Nuevo México en busca de una famosa curandera que se supone puede cambiarle la vida a las personas. La aventura en sí fortalece la amistad que comparten las cuatro amigas, les enseña a valorar sus vidas y a aprovechar al máximo todo lo que ya tienen. Pero lo que encuentran no es lo que se esperaban ... Desesperada es una novela encantadora sobre el poder de la amistad, llena de risas, amor y hasta un poquito de magia.
