Als Margot Delacroix mit 42 Jahren eines gewaltsamen Todes stirbt, schickt man sie zurück auf die Erde: Als ihr eigener Schutzengel soll sie ihr Leben erneut durchlaufen. Margot setzt alles daran, die ihr vorgezeichneten Schicksalsschläge ungeschehen zu machen: Um ihrem Sohn das dramatische Los zu ersparen und die Trennung von dem Mann, den sie liebt, zu verhindern, schließt sie einen Pakt mit einem Dämon. Doch ihr Entschluss beeinflusst den Fortgang der Dinge auf gänzlich andere Weise, als sie ahnen kann.
Optimistickej, ale smolou prenasledovanej Emme Corriganovej sa začína dariť. Už skoro rok má stále zamestnanie, po boku jej stojí skvelý priateľ a dokonca sa jej rysuje aj pracovný postup.

V práci zistí, že mužom, ktorému sa zverila je sám veľký šéf. Ten sa vydal na týždennú návštevu anglickej pobočky podniku, v ktorom pracuje. Toto odštartuje sériu chaotických, citovo vyčerpávajúcich a komických situácií.
For Rebecca Bloomwood, life is peachy. She has a job on morning TV, telling people how to manage their money - a subject on which she is an expert. Her bank manager is actually being nice to her, despite being just a tad overdrawn. And the icing on the brioche is that her boyfriend is moving to New York ...and has asked her to go with him.New York! The Museum of Modern Art! The Guggenheim! The Metropolitan Opera House! And Becky does mean to go to all these. Honestly. It's just that it seems silly not to check out a few other places first. Like Bloomingdales. And Saks. And that amusing little place she's been told about where you can sometimes get a Prada dress for $10. Or was it $100? Anyway, it's full of fantastic bargains.Shopaholic Abroad - because there just aren't enough shops in Britain.
The New York Times and #1 internationally bestselling author of the Department Q series is back, with a terrifyingly relevant stand-alone novel about an America in chaos. THE NO. 1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLING AUTHOR 27 MILLION BOOKS SOLD WINNER OF THE GLASS KEY AWARD "The president has gone way too far. . . . These are practically dictatorial methods we're talking about." When Democratic Senator Bruce Jansen is elected president of the United States, it is a personal victory for Dorothy "Dottie" Rogers. She has secured a job in the White House, has proved to her Republican father that she was right to support Jansen, and is proud to see the rise of an intelligent, inspiring leader who shares her ideals. But the triumph is short-lived: Jansen's pregnant wife is assassinated on election night, and the alleged mastermind behind the shooting is none other than Dottie's own father. When Jansen ascends to the White House, he is a changed man, determined to end gun violence by any means necessary. Rights are taken away as quickly as weapons. Checkpoints and roadblocks destroy infrastructure. The media is censored. Militias declare civil war on the government. The country is in chaos, and Dottie's finds herself fighting for the life of her father, who just may be innocent.
