And currently on an enforced break from life after The Embarrassing Meltdown Incident That She Does Not Wish To Talk About, Thank You. Jamie Kramer: her brother's best friend. Pain in the arse. And somehow on Flo's family holiday to Greece. Flo and Jamie hate each other. Except, they don't. Flo has a secret. She actually has a mortifying crush on her mortal enemy, and nobody - absolutely nobody, least of all her bonkers family, and certainly not Jamie himself - can know. And so she has a plan. With two surprise weeks of sharing breakfast, lunch and dinner, boat trips and sun-loungers, Flo is going to have to remedy herself the only way she can think of: by spending time with him.

Dann ist diese Leseproben-Sammlung genau das Richtige für dich! Träum dich weg in »Die kleine Werkstatt der geretteten Dinge« von Lorenza Gentile. Als der kleine Antiquitätenladen Neue Welt versteigert werden soll, erwacht der Kampfgeist der 27-jährigen Italienerin Gea: Sie verbindet liebevolle Erinnerungen mit dem Laden, an dessen Waren keine Preisschilder, sondern Geschichten hängen. Um den Laden zu retten, schließt Gea sich mit all den Menschen zusammen, denen sie als Handwerkerin und Nachbarin geholfen hat. Denn die Vergangenheit können sie nicht reparieren – aber sie können die Zukunft gestalten. Svea Nussbaum ist 31 Jahre alt, unglücklich verliebt ... und nicht immer ganz ehrlich. Doch nach einem mehr als peinlichen Silvesterabend hat sie genug. Sie schreibt eine lange Liste an Vorsätzen, die sie dummerweise versehentlich an den CEO der Firma schickt, die sie eigentlich als Kunden gewinnen soll. Doch dann betraut sie der charmante William Grant nicht nur mit der Leitung des Projekts, sondern schickt ihr auch eine eigene Liste an Vorsätzen. Und plötzlich findet sich Svea in der merkwürdigsten Abmachung ihres Lebens wieder – als Protagonistin in Saskia Louis' humorvollem Liebesroman »Ich will dies, das und dich«. In Anna Husens »My Dearest Lovers« trifft Historical Romance auf New Adult. Für die unkonventionelle Lucie Farber aus Lübeck bricht 1860 eine Welt zusammen: Ihre Eltern schicken sie nach England auf das renommierte Heygate-Internat für Mädchen, wo sie sich nicht nur auf ihre Aufgaben als Lady vorbereiten. Schnell gerät Lucie mit ihrer Mitbewohnerin Amabel aneinander, doch dann merkt Lucie, dass sie sich zu ihr hingezogen fühlt, was sie verwirrt.
