Drie vrolijke, hartverwarmende feelgoodverhalen in één bundel! Voor fans van Jill Mansell, Sophie Kinsella en Jojo Moyes - en voor iedereen die graag eigentijdse boeken voor vrouwen leest. (1) ONDERSTEBOVEN VAN JOU - Natuurlijk is geld op zich niet belangrijk, maar je kunt er zo makkelijk indruk mee maken. En dat doet Alicia Hansen graag, vooral op bad boy Louie Ragazzi. Hij is stoer, sexy, een tikkeltje gevaarlijk en - komt dat even goed uit - in geldnood. Louie ergert zich mateloos aan Alicia. Dat ze mooi is, bevalt hem wel. Dat ze rijk is, is meegenomen. Maar waarom wil ze hem toch zo graag helpen? Hij mag dan platzak zijn, maar hij kan heus zijn eigen zaakjes wel regelen. Hoewel... Nadat een oude kennis hem een pistool onder de neus heeft geduwd, is hij gedwongen samen met Alicia onder te duiken. En dat worden een paar opwindende dagen... (2) ENKELTJE GELUK - Eigenlijk was Carrie altijd al verliefd op haar beste vriend, Jack. Vanaf het moment waarop hij haar kuste, die ene keer in het scheikundelab op de middelbare school, wist ze het zeker: hij was de ware! Voortaan zou ze op alle jongens die ze tegenkwam oefenen, tot ze net zo goed kuste als hij. Wist zij veel dat hij haar alleen maar mond-op-mondbeademing gaf omdat ze was flauwgevallen... Nu, jaren later, na het zoveelste fiasco met haar zoveelste vriendje, is voor Carrie de maat vol. Ze wil geen andere mannen meer, ze wil Jack! Dus bedenkt ze een plan om hem te verleiden. Plan de campagne: boek een reisje voor twee naar een tropisch eiland, hars je benen (liefst in zijn bijzijn) en vertel hem snikkend dat je (ex-)vriendje het heeft laten afweten... (3) NEEM ME MEE - Het zaad van Valentine is goud waard. En dat is de reden waarom twee onbekenden de stier tijdens de verkiezing van rund van het jaar proberen te stelen. Maar Bree Brown, de eigenares van het dier, is de mannen te slim af en vlucht. Kirk Dunmore, die op weg is naar zijn verloofde, komt haar onderweg tegen. Hoewel zijn auto - een cadeautje van zijn aanstaande schoonmoeder - spiksplinternieuw is, kan hij het niet over zijn hart verkrijgen om Bree en haar briesende huisdier aan hun lot over te laten, en dus neemt hij hen mee. Voor hij het weet, worden ze achtervolgd door een stel criminelen en moet hij de ene afleidingsmanoeuvre na de andere zien te verzinnen. En ondertussen wordt hijzelf voortdurend afgeleid door de beeldschone Bree... Deze boeken zijn ook los verkrijgbaar.

It doesn’t have to be the dark of a rainy night for it to be noir. It doesn’t have to be shadowy rooms of Venetian blinds. It doesn’t even have to be a femme fatale. Noir is somebody tripping over their own faults, somebody who has an Achilles heel, some kind of greed, or want or desire that leads them down a dark path, from which there is sometimes no return. No one is safe. There’s no place to hide in this collection of twelve stories from the dark side of the American Dream. Stories of noir from Coast to Coast.
