Rebecca Trengrouse is quite possibly the worst businesswoman in the world.All she ever wanted was to run her family's bakery in tiny Port Willis, England, but that dream was squashed when her father decided to close up shop without asking her.Now, thanks to mounting debt and an aversion to marketing (and, let's be honest-people in general), she needs to sell the bed and breakfast she bought on a whim a few years ago.And fast.So when a handsome guest makes her a purchase offer that's halfway decent, she knows she shouldn't refuse.But there's just something about the guy she doesn't like.It doesn't matter that the American is her friend Ginny's older brother. Benjamin's casual smile, perfectly tousled hair, and arrogant chocolate eyes are exactly the kind of charming Rebecca knows to keep at arms' length.But that becomes difficult when the two of them get snowed in together at the inn during a freak Christmas blizzard.And as cozy as things are getting between them, Rebecca knows it wouldn't be smart to open her heart to yet another man who is destined to leave her.But love is not as predictable as baked goods.And the heart does not always do what is smart.This holiday romance is the perfect escape for readers of sweet and inspirational fiction who adore stories about love, friendship, and learning to look for the light in the twists and turns of life.

Wie ein Sturm im Winter: Joy setzt sich selbstlos für andere Menschen ein - für Frauen in Notlagen, für ihre Freunde und ihre Eltern. Letztere brauchen sie nun, wo ihre Mutter an Alzheimer leidet, ganz besonders. Als Joy sich eine kleine Auszeit erlaubt, um ihrer Freundin Sophia in Port Willis bei den Hochzeitsvorbereitungen zu helfen, verliebt sie sich Hals über Kopf in Oliver - doch er lebt in England und sie in Florida ...Wie der Duft von Zimt: Sarah ist Anwältin im Familienunternehmen. Doch als ihr dominanter Vater beginnt, sich sogar in ihr Liebesleben einzumischen, zieht sie die Reißleine. Kurzerhand reist sie zu ihrer Halbschwester Ginny nach Cornwall, die sich dort ihren Traum von einer eigenen Bäckerei erfüllen will. Bald rufen das malerische Küstendorf Port Willis und ein attraktiver britischer Fotograf in Sarah wie nie zuvor den Wunsch wach, endlich ihren eigenen Weg zu gehen.

Nach dem Tod ihres Verlobten entschließt sich die Therapeutin Sophia Barrett zu einem Tapetenwechsel. Im malerischen Cornwall mietet sie eine Wohnung über einem alten Buchladen - fern der Heimat und inmitten großartiger Literatur, wo ihre Seele endlich aufatmen kann. Als ihr das über 150 Jahre alte Notizbuch der Gouvernante Emily in die Hände fällt, wird Sophia neugierig. Gemeinsam mit ihrer Vermieterin Ginny Rose - die so verzweifelt um den Erhalt ihres entzückenden kleinen Buchladens kämpft, als könnte sie dadurch nicht nur ihn, sondern auch ihre Ehe retten - begibt sich Sophia auf Spurensuche. Die beiden Frauen ahnen nicht, dass diese sie für immer verändern wird.
