Book Synopsis

Amanda A Contemporary Retelling of Emma

A bit of a busybody, Amanda always has her friends' best interests at heart. She prides herself on her matchmaking skills . . . but when nothing seems to be going according to plan on the beautiful island of Tasmania, can she learn to listen to her own heart?

From the Back Cover

Sweet, caring Amanda Priebe is one of the best friends you could ever hope for . . . except that she just can't mind her own business when it comes to love. She's determined her best friend and travel agency business partner can do better than a simple farmer. Instead, Amanda is set on her friend falling in love with an attractive, well-traveled pastor, never realizing he has his eyes set on Amanda.

When it comes to her own love life--or lack of one--Amanda has no intention of settling down with any man. But then why is she so upset when her lifelong friend, Nate Knighton, becomes so aloof? Maybe the attention of a handsome and sophisticated newcomer will be just the thing to soothe her hurt feelings. . . .

In this tangled web of love, will Amanda finally see that sometimes true love is better than even the best-laid plans?
