Synopses & Reviews
Bestselling author Francis Ray chronicles the lives and loves of the Grayson family and their friends—and friends-of-friends who just might have a change of heart…
ITS NEVER TOO LATE
Cicely St. John is not impressed by her friend C.J. Callahans so-called passion in life: running a New York City bar that he inherited from his uncle. So why cant Cicely stop thinking about the dance they shared at their mutual friends wedding—or the mutual attraction she felt in C.J.s arms?
TO GIVE LOVE A CHANCE
As far as C.J. is concerned, Cicely is a snob whose “passion” in life—writing for fashion magazines—is as pretentious as she is. So why cant he keep his eyes off her? C.J. has a business to run. And Cicely has a job opportunity in Paris. Neither of them even has time to think about romance right now. But maybe, just once, the two could test their friendship…with just one kiss.
“The new Grayson Friends series is…told with such grace and affection…
a treat to read.” —Romantic Times BOOKreviews
