[German] - Sommerliebe in den Highlands: Vier Liebesromane in Schottland

"Emily liebt zwar ihren Job, aber er bringt jede Menge Probleme mit sich, daher kommt das Angebot einer Freundin, sie als Betreuerin und Köchin auf einem Kutter in Schottland zu vertreten, gerade recht. Doch als glücklicher Single hat Emily mit vielen gerechnet, nur nicht mit dem attraktiven Alasdair. Und der Urlaub in Schottland vielleicht zu einem unerwarteten Neubeginn? Auch die erfolgreiche Immobilienmaklerin Raelyn braucht nach einem missglückten One-Night-Stand dringend eine Auszeit und reist so nach Duncan. Dort besitzt sie ein kleines Café, das sie von ihrer leiblichen Mutter geerbt hat. Und obwohl die verordnete Auszeit nicht gerade rosig beginnt, kann Rae bald das Herz der rauen schottischen Gemeinde gewinnen. Doch als die geplante Rückkehr nach New York immer näherrückt, muss Rae sich entscheiden, wo ihr Herz zu Hause ist. Schottland oder Amerika? Nikky fühlt sich nach einer anhaltenden Pechsträhne ebenfalls bereit für eine Auszeit und reist kurz entschlossen nach Schottland. Doch als sie sich dort Hals über Kopf in den Küstenort Pipsby, die Menschen und die kleine Buchhandlung verliebt, musst sie sich entscheiden. Will sie ihr altes Leben hinter sich lassen? Und wie beeinflusst der melancholische Schotte Ducan ihre Entscheidung? Diese Frage muss sich auch Lovely stellen, die absolut nichts von der großen Liebe hält und es nur als reine Geldmache sieht. Bis einer ihrer Klienten plötzlich wutentbrannt vor ihr steht und sie auffordert, ihm dabei zu helfen, seine Ex zurückzugewinnen. Schließlich hat sie die beiden als Liebes-Profilerin zusammengebracht. Doch Lovely hat ein völlig anderes Problem, denn ihr Herz schlägt bei Ians Anblick ganz schön Purzelbäume. Die Romantik der schottischen Küste scheint auch auf Lovelys Leben überzuschwappen.

Wedding Season

"Brought to you by Penguin. Sarah Stratford is a wedding planner hiding a rather inconvenient truth - she doesn't believe in love. Or not for herself, anyway. But as the confetti flutters away on the June breeze of yet another successful wedding she somehow finds herself agreeing to organise two more, on the same day and only two months away. And whilst her celebrity bride is all sweetness and light, her own sister soon starts driving her mad with her high expectations but very limited budget. Luckily Sara has two tried and tested friends on hand to help her. Elsa, an accomplished dress designer who likes to keep a very low profile, and Bron, a multi-talented hairdresser who lives with her unreconstructed boyfriend and who'd like to go solo in more ways than one. They may be very good at their work but romance doesn't feature very highly in any of their lives. As the big day draws near all three women find that patience is definitely a virtue in the marriage game. And as all their working hours are spent preparing for the wedding of the year plus one they certainly haven't got any time to even think about love ... or have they? ©Katie Fforde 2008 (P) Penguin Audio 2020"
