    Kate a Annie majú svoje tajomstvá, s ktorými sa vyrovnávajú každá po svojom. Annie Mulhollandovej na jej siedme narodeniny zomrela mama a stál za tým muž. V dospelosti sa preto uzavrela pred mužmi zo strachu, že sa jej stane čosi podobné. Jej okruh priateľov tvoria staršia sestra Lizzy, priateľ z psychoterapie Tim a Claudine, ktorá s Annie pracuje v spoločnom masážnom salóne. Annin život sa náhle zmení, keď k nej na masáž príde mladý, pekný a neskutočné milý Stephen Flint. Kate Bradyová prichádza na konskú farmu na juhu Anglicka, kde sa uchádza o miesto pomocníčky v žrebčíne u slávneho anglického jazdca. Tvrdí, že pracovala v Googli, „vyhorela“ a pred stresom utiekla na vidiek. Za jej útekom je však čosi viac než len stres a únava, ale Kate to nikomu neprezradí. Na farme sa postupne priučí tvrdej práci pri koňoch a zaľúbi do sa svojho šéfa Marka Waverleyho, ale ani jeden z nich to radšej nedáva najavo. Kate naďalej žije na farme, ale stále čaká, kedy ju dobehne to, pred čím sem utiekla. Annie a Kate napokon majú spoločné oveľa viac, ako sa zdá na prvý pohľad, a ich životné osudy dramaticky splynú.

    Držal som ťa v náručí každú noc desať rokov a ani som nepoznal tvoje meno. Máme spolu dieťa. Psa, dom. Kto si?Emma ľúbi svojho manžela Lea a ich malú dcérku Rub, urobila by pre nich čokoľvek. Ale takmer všetko, čo im o sebe povedala, je lož. Možno by jej to prešlo, nebyť manželovej práce. Leo je autor nekrológov, Emma známa morská biologička. Keď ju postihne vážna choroba, Leo sa s tým vyrovnáva tak, že robí to, čo vie najlepšie – pátra a píše o živote svojej manželky. Ako však postupne odhaľuje pravdu, zisťuje, že žena, ktorú ľúbi, v skutočnosti neexistuje. Dokonca ani jej meno nie je pravé. Leo tak po rokoch vzťahu odhalí najtemnejšie momenty manželkinej minulosti a Emma mu musí dokázať, že je naozaj tou ženou, za ktorú ju vždy považoval... Najprv mu však musí porozprávať o druhej láske svojho života.

    Predstavte si, že spoznáte skvelého muža, strávite spolu sedem nádherných dní a zamilujete sa. Uveríte, že je to obojstranné. Akoby ste celý život čakali jeden na druhého. Pred odletom na plánovanú dovolenku vám sľúbi, že z letiska zavolá. Ani najmenej o tom nepochybujete. Ibaže už sa neozve. Priatelia vám radia, aby ste naňho zabudli, že nie je hoden vašej lásky, no vy cítite, že sa mýlia. Ste presvedčená, že sa mu niečo stalo a že na svoje mlčanie musí mať dôvod. Uplynú minúty, dni, týždne a obavy oňho vás zrazia na kolená. Čo urobíte, keď sa presvedčíte, že intuícia vás neklamala a na svoje mlčanie má naozaj vážny dôvod? Je za ním to, s čím ste sa jeden druhému nestihli zdôveriť... Pravda.

    The Greatest Love Story Of All Time
  • In the UK today, approximately 1.6 million people awoke to the same problem (that's if they'd managed to sleep) - how to survive another day alongside the torrid and turbulent emotions associated with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). Although you'd struggle to find a room big enough to house them all at once, it's not a 'popular' mental health problem and has received little publicity. The fact that you've heard of it at all probably you have it or somebody close at hand does. In the immense isolating pain and confusion that BPD can bring with it, this book is here to remind you that you are not alone - there are at least 1,599,999 others who feel their own personal version of your suffering. This unique anthology brings you some of their voices. The included poetry and prose features not only pieces by people with BPD, but also the viewpoint of carers and treatment providers. This book won't teach you the facts and figures about BPD or the latest theories as to what causes or treats it, but it will provide the aspect of BPD that is almost always missed - how it feels.

    Voices Beyond the Border
  • Sally is an incredible singer but she sings only in her wardrobe where nobody can hear her. She'd rather join a nudist colony than sing in public. That is until she ventures to New York where a wild and heady summer of love and loss changes her forever. No longer able to hide in the shadows, Sally must return home to London to fulfill a promise she cannot break - to share her voice. But just as she's about to embark on her new life, a beautiful man turns up on Sally's doorstep bearing a sheepish smile and a mysterious hand-written message. How did he find her? Why is he here? Does he hold the truth to what happened back in New York? And, with him back on the scene, will she still have the courage to step into the spotlight? 'A charming, gorgeous tale of an ordinary woman with an extraordinary talent. I flaming loved it.' Milly Johnson 'You'll be laughing one minute and crying the next.' Lucy Diamond 'Quirky, charming, at times hilarious and at times heart-wrenching, this is Lucy Robinson at her very best.' Huffington Post 'A rollicking, rich, romantic, rollercoaster of a novel.'
