Every Friday for the last 25 years of her life, I had lunch with Charlotte and each week she told me more of her extraordinary story. To all appearances, she was a strong and dignified survivor, with old-world courtesies, a twinkling sense of humor, and a lilting Austrian syntax. Yet deep within, she'd been scarred by a profound personal trauma. Finally, just before she died at the age of 91, she chose to entrust me with this profound secret, and all at once I understood how it had affected her entire adult life. This is a story of friendship and strength, of courage and betrayal. It is an epic tale set against the backdrop of history. [more]

Wenn Liebe so einfach wäre ... Im Prinzip hat Erin Benson genau den Job, den sie will - gäbe es nicht ihren Chef. James Conlan ist ebenso übellaunig wie erfolgreich und leider genau der Mann, von dem Erin träumt, wenn sie nicht gerade mit ihm zankt - bis er sie vor die Tür setzt. Das könnte das Ende sein – aber bekanntlich trifft man sich immer zweimal. Mittlerweile aus der eigenen Firma geflogen, gibt es nicht viele Menschen, die James aufnehmen würden. Wäre da nicht Erins verdammtes gutes Herz. Sie nimmt ihn unter ihre Fittiche, denn seine Firma mag James verloren haben, aber nicht seinen Sexappeal.

In this tale of wanton love, decadent seduction, and dangerous liaisons, the reader meets Alice—a quiet, meek woman who, at 29, has never been touched by a man, let alone experienced the piercing pangs of love’s bittersweet kiss upon the heart. Alice is obsessed with Greek Mythology, and early on, she resigned herself to the fact that Lachesis, the Fate who chooses our lot in life, destined her life to be one without love—that is until Erik, a mysterious admirer, surfaces. Communicating at first solely online, Erik’s passionate poems and erotic love stories slowly break down Alice’s self-imposed wall of isolation. Throwing caution to the wind, they begin to share the most intimate of emails, awakening Alice’s innermost desires. She finds herself falling in love with Erik and in the possibility that he could be her one true love—her soul mate—despite the fact that they have never met in person. Has Zeus finally heard her cries and granted Cupid, the offspring of Aphrodite, permission to hurl his arrow of love in Alice’s direction? Or, will she get caught up in love’s unscrupulous web of deception and deceit after the identity of her mysterious lover is revealed? How far will Alice venture to recapture love lost—real or imaginary? [more]
