innocence was just beginning....

encounter, but she has depth and character, and is probably one of the few

accept and live with Christian's intense anger and frustration. But she never
dreamed her gentle, healing touch would alter his life and her own so
completely -- and bind them together in need, desire ... and love.

The Secret by Julie Garwood
Judith Hampton was as beautiful as she was
proud, as purposeful as she was loyal. The dear Scottish friend of her
childhood was about to give birth, and Judith had promised to be at her side.
But there was another, private reason for the journey from her bleak English
home to the Highlands: to meet the father she had never known, the Laird
Maclean...Nothing prepared her for the sight of the Scottish barbarian who was
to escort her into his land...Iain Maitland, Laird of his clan, a man more
powerfully compelling than any she had ever encountered.
In a clash of spirited wills and customs,
Judith reveled in the melting bliss of Iain's searching kisses, his passionate
caresses. Perplexed by her sprightly defiance, bemused by her tender nature,
Iain felt his soul growing into the light and warmth of her love. Surely
nothing would wrench her from the affection and trust of Iain and his
clan...not even the truth about her father, a devastating secret that could
shatter the boldest alliance, and the most glorious of loves!
The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks
A man with a faded, well-worn notebook open
in his lap. A woman experiencing a morning ritual she doesn’t understand. Until
he begins to read to her. The Notebook
is an achingly tender story about the enduring power of love, a story of
miracles that will stay with you forever. Set amid the austere beauty of
coastal North Carolina in 1946, The Notebook begins with the story of Noah
Calhoun, a rural Southerner returned home from World War II. Noah, thirty-one,
is restoring a plantation home to its former glory, and he is haunted by images
of the beautiful girl he met fourteen years earlier, a girl he loved like no
other. Unable to find her, yet unwilling to forget the summer they spent
together, Noah is content to live with only memories. . . until she
unexpectedly returns to his town to see him once again. Allie Nelson,
twenty-nine, is now engaged to another man, but realizes that the original
passion she felt for Noah has not dimmed with the passage of time. Still, the
obstacles that once ended their previous relationship remain, and the gulf
between their worlds is too vast to ignore. With her impending marriage only
weeks away, Allie is forced to confront her hopes and dreams for the future, a
future that only she can shape. Like a puzzle within a puzzle, the story of
Noah and Allie is just beginning. As it unfolds, their tale miraculously
becomes something different, with much higher stakes. The result is a deeply
moving portrait of love itself, the tender moments, and fundamental changes
that affect us all. Shining with a beauty that is rarely found in current
literature, The Notebook establishes Nicholas Sparks as a classic storyteller
with a unique insight into the only emotion that really matters.
