9 Books by Judith B. Glad
Requirements: ePUB Reader |3.2 MB | Version: Retail
Overview: Among her varied careers are a couple Judith B. Glad actually chose, rather than falling into. With her children in school, she decided it was time for her to follow her own dreams, so she went back to school and studied botany. After completing her M.S., she became a botanical consultant, and spent the next twenty-odd years picking flowers for a living. Well, it was a little more complicated than that, but she picked enough flowers to keep her happy. Consulting is not always steady work, so one slow winter Judith decided to spend a little time at her second career choice. Now she’d done a lot of writing as a consultant, but somehow describing proposed mine sites and interpreting statistical data wasn’t the kind of writing she wanted to do. So she wrote a book. And another, and… Before she knew it, she was spending more time writing than picking flowers. Judith lives in Portland, Oregon, where her garden blooms all year ’round and the long, rainy winters give her lots of time for writing.
Genre: Romance
A Sisterly Regard
Two sisters, one Season. Chloe won’t be content with her first Season unless she catches the eye–and the heart–of the ton’s most wealthy, most handsome, most interesting bachelor. And she has no intention of sitting around waiting to be noticed. Phaedra just wants the Season to end so she can return to the country, unburdened with anything so useless as a husband. The only thing interesting about London is its cultural treasures, which she intends to sample liberally. The men in the sisters’ court aren’t quite sure what to make of them. Lord Wilderlake is intrigued, Mr. Dervigne intends seduction, the Earl of Everingham is enchanted, Mr. Martin wants a big sister, and Reggie Farwell is merely amused. Faced with such an assortment of suitors, how can Chloe and Phaedra realize their dreams? Only time–and the course of true love–will tell.
A Strange Little Band
Cecile, the family matriarch, has invited (read commanded) everyone to a family reunion at the ancestral ranch near Yellowstone. Annie brings inconsolable sorrow, Hetty dreads her parents’ reaction to her latest lover, Evan has a secret, and Serhilda wants to be anywhere else. With four generations living in each others’ pockets, everyone expects bickering, spats, hurt feelings, and perhaps a few secrets finally revealed. When the week is over, even Cecile wonders if the reunion brought the family closer together, as she had hoped, or created rifts so great that they’ll never be mended.
Florentine Enchantment
Orphaned in Florence, Lucy Raymond takes the only employment she can find, that of a castrato assistant to an art and antiquities dealer. But as she grows into womanhood, her masquerade chafes, for it allows none of the romance she craves. In her loneliness she often visits the Piazza della Signoria, where she gazes at the magnificent sculptures and dreams impossible dreams. Until one day, when she is overcome by loneliness and the oppressive heat, she faints at the feet of an enormous sculpture, only to wake in the arms of its living embodiment. Allowing herself to be seduced is the last thing Lucy should do. But Vido is warm and vital and the living image of David, so how can she resist?
Improbable Solution
Welcome to Whiterock, Oregon, where Sally Carruthers nurses her dying father, and dreams of the day she can go back to her real life. Where Gus Loring seeks forgetfulness, but to find it, he’d have to do the impossible and forgive himself.
Whiterock is a town where people are from, because there’s nothing to hold them there. Every year more of the stores on Main Street close, and every year more of its young people leave to find their fortunes somewhere else. Where what you see today may be different tomorrow.
Maybe that’s why the town persists. Because there is more to Whiterock than its 639 residents, the elk statue by the park, and the Bite-A-Wee Café. More to it than a place where Gus and Sally find temporary passion together. Whiterock is more than just a town. A lot more…
Never the Twain
What do an archaeologist from Back East and a cowboy from the empty corner of Oregon have in common? Not much, except the waterhole that Rock McConnell needs for his cattle and Genny Forsythe must approve. First she has to make sure there are no prehistoric petroglyphs near the site, and that could take months of study. Now Rock isn’t against preserving the past, but his cattle are gettin’ mighty thirsty.
Genny’s youthful dreams were filled with cowboys, tall, lean, laconic, and Levi’d. Rock is all of them rolled into one gorgeous, virile man. Trouble is, she’s had her fill of dominant males, and Rock is about as dominant as they come. Rock knows that delicate, feminine women can’t last in the harsh environment of Owyhee County, pretty women like Genny, with silvery hair and painted fingernails. But his body sings another tune, one of immediate, demanding hunger for her kisses–and more. Love will not be denied. Someone’s got to bend, but who, and how much?

Eight years later they meet again, to discover that time has not lessened the fiery attraction between them. When Erik encounters Madeline’s son, he sees his own face–the twins must be his. Now Madeline is forced to face her feelings about him–how closely is she willing to let him share in her children’s lives? Does Erik, who has never really had–or wanted–a home, have the staying power to be the man she needs? And will he?

To further complicate her life, Quinton’s younger sister develops a tendre for her brother’s handsome secretary. Now Eve is caught in a tangle of her own devising. When her deception is revealed, Quinton is outraged–and intrigued. The outrage wins, and Eve’s future extends barren before her, with only memories of love in her heart.

The Portrait
Even in the Regency, marketing plans were useful, especially when seeking to marry a daughter advantageously. Lord and Lady Curran expect their daughter’s portrait to convince potential suitors of her beauty, her worth and her desirability. Of course, it must also show her as a perfect, obedient, demure lady. Kermit Sutherland is a popular portraitist, so of course he is engaged to produce the portrait. What Chastity’s parents don’t understand is that Sutherland paints more than the surface. He has a knack for seeing into a woman’s heart and soul. Under her obedient facade, Chastity harbors a rebellious heart, and Sutherland sees it and encourages it. When her portrait is finished, it will show more than her parents–or she–have bargained for.

If Stell qualifies for the Sawtooth classic, Adam knows he’ll lose her. Or will he? Might there be a life for them after the race?
