Short story. Light Within by Carla Kelly only. 60 pages.I just have the ebook for this one story, which is a very sweet PG love story about an American Quaker and a poor English Lord. I don't think I've ever read this author before, but plan on reading more of her stuff.

Quick and enjoyable 70-90 page reads for when you want a little boost of HEA.I really enjoyed the stories in this book. The Patricia Oliver story is actually one of my favorites in this anthology. I think Oliver writes well, and she packs a lot into the story for such a short one. If you like her Se...
