About this listen
Wealthy Lanna Davenport has the perfect life, and she hates it. She’s never fit into the mold of upper class “princess". She would rather spend her life painting than let her overbearing mother parade her around for the eligible bachelors of her social circle, even if those suitors include Adam Munroe, the son of California’s most famous art dealer.
When a handsome new gardener Luke turns up and shows her there’s more to art than putting color on canvas, Lanna eagerly starts to explore a world outside of what she’s been allowed to know. But the surprisingly down-to-earth Adam makes it easy to be part of her own world and still be her unconventional self.
As she grows closer to Adam, but tempted by the freedom Luke can offer, Lanna is faced with the first choice she’s ever made for herself: Does she stay true to herself in the life she’s known, or does she paint beyond the canvas of her past and leave it all behind?
Simplicity is a story of life, love, and finding happiness in an increasingly complex world.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 17
I’ve had a crush on my brother’s best friend my entire life. Once, in high school, I even got a taste of what it would be like to be with him, thanks to some well-placed mistletoe: incredible and humiliating. We always spend Christmas with Max’s family at our cabin, and every year I have to suffer through a blissful week with him in a completely platonic way. His steady stream of girlfriends have made him off limits...until now.

In 2012, Emme Wilde can't find the right guy. She wants to feel that swept-off-your-feet dizziness of true love. But so far, her dating life has come up short. Star Trek geek? Nice but too serious. Hippy artist? Cute but too vulnerable. Instead, Emme obsesses over the portrait of an unknown man in an old locket. Granted, a seriously dreamy guy with delicious, wind-swept hair she just itches to run her fingers through. But still. Dead men may be great listeners, but they are not exactly boyfriend material. Emme travels to England, determined to uncover his history.

Elena MacKinnon has spent the last seven years training to become a proper English lady. When her childhood friend, Captain Theo Donovan, returns from serving in the Navy, he brings along with him Elena’s humiliation for the ill-advised and ardent love letter she wrote him before his departure, which he ignored entirely. Elena hopes to simultaneously stifle his memory of the letter and make him regret overlooking her, showing him just how fine an English lady she can be. The only problem? She is not English but a proud Scot—and her heart may be more enamored with Theo than ever.
