Book excerpt: A Calamity Place Romance - The Complete Set - Misunderstood, Decisions, Complicated ***Misunderstood*** Sometimes secrets tear us apart. Sometimes secrets bring us together.

Hiding behind a pair of non-prescription lenses is a girl who loves, laughs, cries, and enjoys life...all from behind her living room curtains. Her best friend vows to help Kendra live vicariously through her own socialite lifestyle, but at the end of the day, Kendra shrinks back to the wallflower she is, pushing her loved ones away. Ian Wilkinson is the heartthrob that doesn't know Kendra exists. He's beautiful, rich, and women crawl all over him...which he hates. His mother constantly sets him up with shallow, gold-digging women who follow him around like a lost puppy. Ian Wilkinson also has a secret. When women learn his flaw it usually sends them packing...until now. Kendra is about to learn that she is not the only person who is misunderstood...will they both be able to share their pain and accept their personal flaws?

Her son, her parents, and her friends love her...but no man ever has. Until she’s torn between two. Luke and Cassandra conceive Christopher after they meet at a bar. Months later, Luke is given a rare opportunity: to join a prestigious police force; a dream he has had since he was a young boy. However, this means leaving his son to move to a different province. Desmond comes from money, has an attitude and a mysterious edge; traits that Cassandra finds appealing. Kendra, Cassandra’s best friend, can’t stand Desmond, and her approval means a lot to Cassandra. But is Kendra’s support as valuable to Cassandra as falling in love? After four years in Western Canada, Luke drops a bomb on Cassandra: he’s moving back to Toronto. At this point, their relationship is friendly at best. But one night can make the tables turn. Tragedy hits, and Cassandra realizes that what she once thought was a painful decision, really wasn’t a decision at all...the answer was with her, in her heart, the whole time.
