ABOUT THE SERIES
Lovers are joined by force - by family pressure, by societal pressure, and cultural mores, but Chesneyâ s heros and heroines never seem to want to give up on their search for the real thing. They are willing to go through almost anything in their hunt to find love - theyâ ll jump through hoops to avoid the tricks of outsiders who thrust them together for fortune (that doesnâ t exist), theyâ ll dance their way into the hearts of the most eligible bachelors using all of their charms, and if it takes even lessons in love (the title of one of these page turners) then so be it. The Love Series is all about love in its various forms, from lukewarm to searing hot and weâ re along for the ride.
