Books with author Julie Garwood

Julie Garwood's tales always sparkle with the magic that comes from falling in love. Now her talent shines brighter than ever in an unforgettable tale about young love meant especially for younger readers. Summer never meant to lie. She just wanted to keep the most perfect guy she ever met interested in her. She had been surprised when David began hanging out with her every day...and dizzy with happiness when he kissed her. David seemed to like her unconventional Irish family, even her eccentric Grandpa. Everything was going great -- until Ann entered the picture. She collected boys like trophies. How could Summer compete with someone like that? Before she knew it, Summer was boasting to David about her passion for long-distance running. She never dreamed he'd enter them in a six-mile race. Summer dreaded the moment when he would discover the truth: she couldn't run six blocks. And the flirtatious Ann was already working on David. Then Summer's Grandpa came up with a plan that was just crazy enough to save the day....

Amy Lafitte spent thirteen years in an Orphanage, on a private island, in the Irish Sea between Scotland and Ireland. She was rescued at the age of eighteen by her Aunt Lily and brought to the family home in the New Orleans French Quarter. When she was safe at home she found out that her Mom and Dad had survived the cruise ship tragedy that brought her to the Orphanage at the age of five. She learned that she had a Granny, who was a three hundred year old witch, and a Grandfather who was the real pirate Jean Lafitte, an immortal. Amy met Jimmy O'Brien, a Leprechaun, who was neither short nor mean but four feet tall and had a sense of humor to match her own. Amy and Jimmy start the French Quarter Detective Agency. Their first clients are looking for their nephew, Bugs Robichaux, who disappeared over a year ago. Bugs inherited Castle Island in the middle of the Bermuda Triangle, off Key West, and his Aunts inherited a pirate treasure map.

To his amazement Bugs sells the island to the current tenants for two million dollars cash. He leaves with a suitcase full of money heading for Key West to deposit the money in a bank before returning to find the treasure. In a rental boat, on the way to Key West, Bugs strangely falls asleep and wakes up in a dungeon. The cash is missing. Had he been kidnapped by pirates? Amy and Jimmy fly to Miami. On the plane Amy meets Harry Morgan, a love interest, who helps her in her quest to find Bugs.
