Anne Whitfield has released a new short story titled "Avenue Of Dreams," available here through The Wild Rose Press.

Molly Daniels is summer holidaying in a small town in the country to recover from a broken marriage. She's hurt, disillusioned and unsure of her future. She last thing she is looking for is a man.

Sebastian Lord is the town's most eligible bachelor, a title he hates. Having given up on a successful career in the city he now owns a small farm and is content to hide away there, away from the real world that has hurt him in the past. Since his fiance was killed four years ago, he's refused to enter the dating game again.

They're an unlikely pair, but Seb's wayward dog has a habit of bringing them together. They give into their attraction and share a hot summer together, but can they let go of the past enough to embrace a future together?
Anne also received a great review for A Noble Place from Julie of SingleTitles:

Courageous and independent, Pippa Noble is a heroine readers will admire, cheer for and hope to emulate. With its spellbinding blend of romance, heartbreak, passion and drama, A Noble Place is the perfect book to curl up with on a cold autumn night. Don’t miss it!

Michelle Styles' new release, Taken By the Viking, has received another solid review, this time from Jayne of Dear Author.

Overall, I did enjoy the story and the historic details you included. I liked that twists on what I was expecting and when I had to stop reading for such daily mundane things as going to work to earn a living, I eagerly looked forward to getting home and picking the book up again.
