Perhaps some slippers? Or a book on how to look ten years younger? Maybe an eternity ring from my husband?

Am I making sense?


So why the piercing? My...

5 STAR REVIEW for LOVE LESSONS WITH THE TEXAS BILLIONAIRE

Love Lessons with the Texas Billionaire' has just received it's first review from Manicreaders, and it's 5 STARS!!

Jack had the Texas charm that you couldn't help but fall for, even when he was smirking. Eva is a spitfire. She really tested Jack's patience. No matter how much she pushed his buttons, he was gentle with her; exactly why I...
