A lot can change in six years. The last time Dylan Scott was in Brogan's Point, he was a nobody. Now he's rich and famous. But he still has memories of the charming seaside New England town where he'd spent one unforgettable night with Gwen Parker, a local shop clerk who'd wanted nothing more than a no-strings-attached fling. Six years later, she's still in town—only now she owns the shop. She's practically engaged to be married. And she's got a five-year-old daughter who looks an awful lot like Dylan.

One thing hasn't changed in Brogan's Point: the antique jukebox in the Faulk Street Tavern. It still plays oldies, and those oldies can still cast spells over the tavern's patrons. When the jukebox plays "Angel of the Morning," a plaintive ballad about love without commitment, Dylan and Gwen realize that walking away from what they'd once had might have been the biggest mistake of their lives. Now, six years later, is it too late to make things right?

Brogan's Point's old Town Hall building needs to be either updated or replaced. Architect Brianna Crawford desperately hopes to win a contract to renovate the building, in part because she adores its elderly charm, in part because she has to bring some income into the tiny architectural firm that hired her, and in large part because the other finalist for the commission is Rollie Davenport, with whom she has an unpleasant history.

Given his choice, Will Naukonen would vote to replace the building with Davenport's design. It's daring, it's modern, it's futuristic—and Will is a guy with his eye to the future. He's in Brogan's Point only temporarily, helping out at the Faulk Street Tavern, which is owned by his mother. An exciting high-tech job awaits him in Seattle. He'll be heading west any day now, ready to develop cutting-edge computer software.

But one night when he's helping out behind the bar and Brianna is consuming some liquid courage...]]> Wed, 01 Jan 2020 11:06:17 +0200 https://reference.library.land/judith-arnold/24224-true-colors.html https://reference.library.land/judith-arnold/24224-true-colors.html
When the Magic Jukebox plays the song “True Colors,” it casts its spell on Emma Glendon and Max Tarloff, the landlord trying to evict her. Max is a high-tech brainiac and a self-made millionaire.

No one knows what classic rock songs will come out of the jukebox when a coin is inserted, but every now and then, the jukebox will play a song that casts a spell on two bar patrons—a song that will change their lives and open their hearts to love.When she finds herself homeless after breaking up with her boyfriend, artist Emma Glendon accepts her best friend’s invitation to share a rental house in Brogan’s Point.

Loretta D'Angelo doesn't want to get married. Being dumped by her fiancé just months before her wedding was fine with her. She loves her life as a single woman in New York City, indulging in gourmet ice-cream, getting the occasional mud-mask facial, and working for a tacky talk show that specializes in screaming and scrapping among its philandering guests. If only she could tune out her pushy family and their constant match-making attempts.

Josh Kaplan has no interest in getting married, either, although maybe he ought to. He's been with his girlfriend Melanie for years, but for some reason he just hasn't felt the urge to pop the question. He's busy fighting for tenants' rights and playing chess with his elderly friend Solly, who's got women problems of his own. Melanie is busy, too, although what she's busy with, Josh isn't sure.

When Loretta's job suddenly hinges on her being hooked up with a blind date on the show, Josh is the ideal foil. He has no more...]]> Sun, 01 Jan 2017 11:06:19 +0200 https://reference.library.land/judith-arnold/294341-tis_the_season.html https://reference.library.land/judith-arnold/294341-tis_the_season.html
