PG  1,808

Summary: A sequel to Mis-Everything.  What appears to be a juicy scandal has the gossips joyful, but it’s not what they think.  The real story is far more interesting.  That romance works out far better than Joe’s tragic one that brings Adam full circle in facing a demon from his past. 
PG  16,643

Summary: A slapstick fun story of Adam getting bested. A word to the wise, always double check what you’re ordering, especially in the 1800s. Out of his fiasco, came a family tradition out of necessity.
