The Paper Swan

Once in Africa, I kissed a king... "And just like that, in an old red barn at the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro, I discovered the elusive magic I had only ever glimpsed between the pages of great love stories. It fluttered around me like a newborn butterfly and settled in a corner of my heart. I held my breath, afraid to exhale for fear it would slip out, never to be found again." When a bomb explodes in a mall in East Africa, its aftershocks send two strangers on a collision course that neither one sees coming. Jack Warden, a divorced coffee farmer in Tanzania, loses his only daughter. An ocean away, in the English countryside, Rodel Emerson loses her only sibling. Two ordinary people, bound by a tragic afternoon, set out to achieve the extraordinary, as they make three stops to rescue three children across the vast plains of the Serengeti-children who are worth more dead than alive. But even if they beat the odds, another challenge looms at the end of the line. Can they survive yet another loss-this time of a love that's bound to slip through their fingers, like the mists that dissipate in the light of the sun? "Sometimes you come across a rainbow story-one that spans your heart. You might not be able to grasp it or hold on to it, but you can never be sorry for the color and magic it brought." A blend of romance and women's fiction, Mists of The Serengeti is inspired by true events and contains emotional triggers, including the death of a child. Not recommended for sensitive readers. Standalone, contemporary fiction.

Mists of the Serengeti

Meet Moti Ferreira—spectacularly jinxed from the day she's born. Saddled with an eccentric mother, she stumbles upon the one man who holds the key to her freedom—the best man at her cousin's upcoming wedding. All Moti has to do is overcome her fear of water, board a yacht to the Greek Isles, seduce the dreamy Nikos Manolas, and survive two weeks at sea with her oddball family. The only obstacle Moti doesn't see coming is Alexandros Veronis, the onboard chef and star witness to her awkward mishaps. He transforms onions into chocolate and aroma into nostalgia. Day by day, his alchemy works its magic on Moti. But she's not the only one falling under his spell. Everyone has a secret, growing round and ripe at Chef Alex's table. When the masks fall off, they spill out one by one, and everything blows up in their faces. Now Moti's truth is exposed, and worse, she's hooked on more than Alex's midnight snacks. But this time, screwing up could be the best thing she's ever done...

From His Lips

Paper Swan - Ich will dich nicht lieben

Tohle není typická romance. Není černobílá. Linie se protínají. Zdi se bortí. To dobré se mění na špatné. A to špatné se mění na velmi, velmi dobré. Shayda Hijaziová – dokonalá manželka, dokonalá matka, dokonalá dcera. Třicet pět let hrála podle pravidel, polykala tajemství, pohřbívala sny a dělala všechno pro to, aby držela rodinu pohromadě. Shaydu Hijaziovou čeká setkání s tou jedinou věcí, která to celé může rozbít, s tou jedinou věcí, která jí vždycky byla odepřena – s láskou. Troy Heathgate – nezkrotný, vzrušující, nebezpečný. Muž, který si dělá přesně to, co chce. Život se sklání před jeho přáním. Dokud se nesetká s něčím, kvůli čemu by se všeho vzdal, ale nemůže to mít. Narodili se ve stejný den v opačných koutech světa, ale jejich cesty se protnou. A nic už není jako dřív.

53 dopisů pro mou lásku

Okolnosti před ně postaví obtížný úkol – zachránit napříč serengetskými pláněmi tři děti, které mají větší cenu mrtvé než živé. Zatímco se snaží poprat s nástrahami, které jim osud klade do cesty, pomalu si uvědomují, že před nimi stojí ještě těžší výzva...
