From New York Times bestselling author Katy Regnery…The Bohemian and the Businessman is the first of three books about the Philadelphia-based Story sisters who are all on the look-out for love.Priscilla Story, the self-proclaimed “wild child” of the straight-laced Story clan, has always had a knack for getting herself trouble. Except this time, her “growing problem” is going to require a Daddy … problem” is going to require a Daddy sooner than later…or she can kiss her inheritance good-bye.
Shane Olson, who previously dated Priscilla’s sister, Margaret, isn’t opposed to a marriage of convenience for the sake of furthering his business interests, but Priscilla – with her wild ways – is just about the last woman he’d choose to marry.
In order to make the marriage look convincing, they end up having to spend more time together than they’d originally planned. When rolling stone, Priscilla, who lives by the seat of her muu-muu, and seriously-ambitious Shane, who’s had his whole life planned since he was eleven, start falling for each other, it’s going to take a whole lot of compromise for this Bohemian and her Businessman to find their happily ever after.
*****
The Director and Don Juan is the second of three books about the Philadelphia-based Story sisters who are all on the look-out for love.
Heiress Alice Story left her father’s company three years ago in a blaze of glory, inviting all of his employees to jump ship and join her, but only one accepted her offer: mail room clerk, Carlos Vega.
While Alice spent the next three years getting her own company off the ground, Carlos became her indispensable right-hand man — executive assistant and office manager, loyal counsel and trusted co-worker.
And all the while, they were quietly falling in love with each other.
When Alice is offered a lucrative business deal in Puerto Rico, island-born Carlos is the perfect person to accompany her on her trip as translator, but as they travel together from Philadelphia to Santo Domingo to Ponce, two unlikely co-workers will discover that during their three years working together, their feelings for each other have grown far deeper than they ever could have guessed.
And though business-minded, proper Alice will try her very best to ignore the longings of her heart, scorching hot, insanely sexy Boricua, Carlos, has no intention of letting her go.

THE BOHEMIAN & THE BUSINESSMAN
In THE BOHEMIAN AND THE BUSINESSMAN the author Katy Regnery returns once more to Blueberry Lane. This is Priscilla Story’s book. Priscilla is the one of the five Story sisters, that has always done her own thing. She is the wild child and the biggest disappointment to her father. The meaning of Bohemian is, “A person who has informal and unconventional social habits.” This would fit Priscilla perfectly. She has returned home after moving to France to be by her lover. When that turns into a disaster, she has little choice but to return home. She also returns home with much bigger problems than when she left. Also if her father would find out her problems, than she would be homeless, too.
Shane Olson is a very driven businessman. He also is the right hand man to Douglas Story who is owner and president of Story Imports. He has also been chosen to marry Margaret Story (Priscilla’s older sister). It is too bad & sad that her father nor Shane either, have any idea that Margaret is not on board with this “business” arrangement. After overhearing the exchange at dinner, and Margaret’s firm “NO!” Then Priscilla starts to plot a plan. It seems Shane needs to marry one of the five Story Sisters, and it just so happens she desperately needs a husband. This same Shane Olson might be the hero to her damsel in distress.

Having reached her limit, she quit and climbed upon her cubicle desk and announced to all her fellow employees, “I’m starting a new company! And it’s called Alice Story Imports! All of you are welcome to come and work for me!” One lone person stepped forward and that was Carlos Vega. He was a dreamer and stepped forward to help Alice down from the desk.
