Your dream holiday is just a page away… You are invited to a summer of sparkling champagne, warm buttery croissants and a little bit of je ne sais quoi With a broken heart and a broken spirit, Hattie is in need of a summer escape. So when an opportunity comes up to work at a beautiful, stately chateau in the Champagne region of France she books her flights quicker than the pop of a cork. Romance is the last thing Hattie is looking for but then she wasn’t expecting gorgeous Luc to stroll into her life. With picnics in the warm French sun and delicious foodie trips to the local market, Hattie starts to wonder if a holiday fling – or maybe even something more – might be just what she needs.

Čarovné francúzske vinice v oblasti Champagne sú ako stvorené pre romantický príbeh. Presvedčí sa o tom aj svadobná koordinátorka Hattie, ktorá čerstvo unikla z chladného, prázdneho a nezáživného vzťahu. Pôvodne prišla do château Saint Martin zabudnúť na všetky problémy a pripraviť svadbu pre svoju sesternicu, no stojí ju to až príliš veľa úsilia. Hlavne keď jej pozornosť rozptyľuje príťažlivý a sebavedomý vinár Luc. Podnikajú spolu výlety do okolia a vychutnávajú si miestne kulinárske delikatesy. Hattie zrazu zisťuje, že či už za to môžu bublinky, alebo Lucovo kúzlo, zrejme je až po uši zamilovaná. A to je niečo, s čím vôbec nepočítala...

Tenhle její sen ale nikdy nezahrnoval setkání s vlastním otcem, o jehož existenci neměla ani tušení. Teď však stojí před branami nádherné vily v Itálii, do které ji odmítají pustit. Díky staré fotografii dokáže, že je opravdu dcerou italského herce Ernesta, a situace se změní. Otcův manažer Raphael, naprosto neodolatelný mladý muž s nepřístupným výrazem, se ji rozhodne nespustit z očí a doprovází ji na každém kroku. Kdoví o co téhle cizince s kouzelným úsměvem a nádherně vlnitými karamelovými vlasy vlastně jde. Dokážou romantické procházky a vychlazené drinky i přes počáteční rozpaky zažehnout mezi Liou a Raphem jiskru? Atmosféra je stále žhavější a není to jen kvůli horkému středomořskému slunci…

Lia Bathurst vždy snívala o úteku na biele piesočnaté pláže a o tyrkysovo modrom mori na pobreží Amalfi – lenže tento sen nezahŕňal stretnutie s jej skutočným otcom. Tým, o ktorom ešte pred niekoľkými týždňami vôbec nevedela. A predsa tu zrazu stojí pred bránami nádhernej ružovej vily,do ktorej jej zamietol prístup neznesiteľný – a zároveň neskutočne príťažlivý – Raphael Knight, obchodný manažér jej otca. Keď stará čiernobiela fotografia dokáže, že Liino tvrdenie je pravdivé, Raph je odhodlaný uistiť sa, že táto cudzinka s dlhými karamelovými vlasmi a nákazlivým úsmevom nemá postranné úmysly. Aj keby to znamenalo, že ju nespustí z dohľadu. Na pobreží Amalfi obsypanom citrónovníkmi začína byť horúco, a nie je to spôsobené len počasím...

'The Amalfi coast setting, the handsome grumpy Italian, this book has it all!!' Lia Bathurst had always dreamed of escaping to the white sandy beaches and turquoise blue seas of the Amalfi coast - but that dream hadn't included meeting her real father. A father she had never even known about until a few weeks ago! Yet here she was, standing outside the gates of a gorgeous pink villa being refused entry by the insufferable - and insufferably handsome - Raphael Knight, her father's business manager. When an old black and white photo proves Lia's claim to be true, Raph is determined to make sure this stranger, with her long caramel waves and infectious smile, doesn't have an ulterior motive. Even if that means not letting her out of his sight. As temperatures rise, and not just from the heat of the Mediterranean sun, could Lia and Raph's forced proximity lead to something more like... amore?

Anna získala vytoužené místo stážistky v pražském pivovaru a nemůže se dočkat, až se začne učit od skutečných mistrů v oboru. Několik měsíců v samém srdci Evropy, ochutnávky vyhlášené kuchyně a nejlepšího piva na světě, to zní jako sen. Ovšem jen do chvíle, než zjistí, kdo je druhý stážista a její nový spolubydlící – Leonardo, kterého roky neviděla a doufala, že to tak i zůstane. Bude mít kouzlo Prahy takovou moc, že je znovu svede dohromady?

It's been years since Anna has seen Leo Knight. And of all the apartments in all the cities in all the world, he just happens to walk in to her cosy new attic home – as her new housemate. As the two walk the cobbled streets of Prague, taking in the sights and sounds from Wenceslas Square, frosted with snow, to the soft glow of candlelit Charles Bridge, the enchantment of the City of a Hundred Spires soon starts to work its magic on them…

Možno si spomínate na fešáka Lea z príbehu o vile v Taliansku. Tentoraz sa s ním stretnete v stovežatej Prahe, kam sa vybral na stáž do miestneho pivovaru. Na jeho veľké prekvapenie sa tam stretáva so svojou veľkou láskou a bývalou manželkou Annou, ktorá ho pred rokmi nečakane a bez vysvetlenia opustila. Dnes je, zdá sa, šťastne zadaná a rozhodnutá absolvovať rovnakú stáž ako on. Pre oboch je toto stretnutie spočiatku poriadnou životnou skúškou, no ako sa vraví „stará láska nehrdzavie“ a vo vzťahu Anny a jej priateľa nakoniec nie je všetko také rúžové, ako by sa mohlo zdať na prvý pohľad. Anna sa tak ocitá medzi dvoma mlynskými kameňmi. Koho si nakoniec vyberie? Svoju veľkú lásku z mladosti alebo muža, ktorý je jej stabilnou oporou?
