Als die beiden über die Bedeutung von Liebe und Geld streiten, ist Cate fest davon überzeugt, dass die perfekte Nacht immer teuer sein muss.

"Zehn Jahre ist es her, dass Charlotte Oxford verlassen hat und damit auch ihre beste Freundin aus Collegezeiten, Millie. In London hat sie Karriere gemacht und kehrt nun als Anwältin in eine der angesehensten Kanzleien Oxfords zurück.
Doch plötzlich steht sie wieder vor Millie – und mit einem Schlag sind alle Erinnerungen zurück: an unbeschwerte College-Tage, die Nähe, die für Charlotte immer mehr als Freundschaft war, und Sehnsüchte, die nie wirklich verblasst sind.
Auch Millie hat sich verändert, einen neuen Beruf gewählt und hätte nie damit gerechnet, Charlotte wiederzusehen. Doch langsam wird ihr bewusst, dass die Nähe zu ihrer alten Freundin jetzt andere Gefühle in ihr weckt, die früher nicht da waren.
Werden Charlotte und Millie den Mut finden, ihre Freundschaft wieder aufleben zu lassen und dabei entdecken, dass zwischen ihnen vielleicht doch mehr ist?"
"Sparks fly between Nicola Albright KC and Geeta Sachdeva, but not the good kind. They're the sort that leave small fires, devastation, and everyone peeping between their fingers at arrogant lawyer, Nicola, on one side, and everyone's favorite mum, Geeta, on the other.
Yet when both are divorced and at a new stage in life, they find themselves living within glowering distance of each other, in beautiful Iffley Village, Oxford. Reluctantly they call a truce and try to make friends. It's tricky though, when there's more than one reason they've circled and snapped for years.
For a start, Geeta's lawyer daughter, Olivia, idolizes the eminent King's Counsel barrister, to eye rolls from Geeta. And to Nicola's annoyance, her own daughter, Charlotte, has always turned to perfect mama Geeta for comfort and understanding. Animosity between the two is a given.
Until they force themselves to be nice to each other, that is, and then they're compelled to question everything . . ."
"Olivia Sachdeva's life is flawless. With a first from Oxford and as the youngest partner at Bentley lawyers, she expects high standards from everyone. Her only indulgences are eating iced desserts and repeat watching rom-coms, especially those featuring Kate Laurence—pure escapism and cinematic perfection.
But, when the actor walks into Olivia's office with a bag full of divorce and a messy personal life, that perfect bubble bursts. Kate seems nothing like the screen goddesses she plays, and Olivia must put aside her comfort viewing and handle the case like the true professional she is.
It requires secrecy, especially with indiscreet friends. Will best friend Charlotte ever read the room? And will Millie, who instantly reads the room, ever stop commenting loudly?
And Kate? She doesn't know what to think about this frosty lawyer. But she needs a quick divorce from a mistake of a marriage, which was over before it started, and Olivia Sachdeva is the best.
But little by little, Olivia and Kate glimpse behind the mask, to find someone they weren't looking for, who may not even be perfect, but might be the right person for them."
"Oxford—celebrated city of dreaming spires and class warfare—is an ambition come true for lesbian, geeky, upper-middle-class Charlotte and straight, charismatic, working-class Millie.
Against the odds, theirs is an instant, best friendship. Forever.
Exuberant Millie is a breath of fresh air for polite Charlotte and a force of nature within the university's hallowed walls. And they are going to be the best lawyers of their year and change the world.
But their world changes instead when things go queerly sideways, and they haven't seen each other since.
Ten years on and Charlotte returns to where it all began. She has a new job at a prestigious law firm and Oxford is as beautiful as ever. She's a safe distance from her overbearing barrister mother Nicola and three office floors from her snappy college mentor, Olivia.
Then Millie bounds around the corner wanting to be friends again and it's as if the last decade never happened. Will it be different the second time around? Can they be friends again? Or will love and attraction change things?"
"Snow, secrets, an icy lady of the manor, a vile villain, open fires, and hidden love.
A frosty December and Bethan Griffiths has returned home for Christmas to unwrap secrets. It's the 1970s and she is back in the village of Foel in the Welsh hills to raise her daughter. They arrive to the open arms of her family and the community, but not all is what it seems and Beth isn't home for the reason she pretends either.
Vicious notes start appearing that reveal harsh truths about the village inhabitants, stirring up ancient past, old loves, and the dead. Not even local dignitary, the elegant and aloof Lady Melling who hides in her manor house, is safe from the accusations.
But when Beth receives her notes, they aren't what she expected. Is she being toyed with like the other villagers, or is she being guided to a long-sought truth?
The Tell Tale has been watching and waiting, because there's something queer about the village of Foel."
"Movie star Jessica Lambert is in danger of burning out. Returning to London for the premiere of her latest film, she's recognized everywhere she goes. When she runs away through the streets of London, she's taken in by the beautiful and more mature Anna. The two hide in the sanctuary of Anna's roof-top flat, a haven away from the crowds, but why has Anna removed herself from the world?
As the two women get to know each other, stripping away the layers, both appreciate what each does for the other. This could be the start of something wonderful, more than either of them know.
Contains mature themes."
