Andie Miller is ready to move on with her life. She wants to marry her fianc� and leave behind everything in her past, especially her ex-husband, North Archer. But when Andie tries to gain closure with him, North asks one last favor: Since the death of a distant cousin, he's become the guardian of two orphans who have already driven away three nannies. North needs someone to take care of the situation--and he knows Andie can handle anything. Carter and Alice aren't your average delinquents, and the creepy old house where they live is being run by the worst housekeeper since Mrs. Danvers. Complicating matters is Andie's fianc�'s suspicion that this is all a plan by North to get Andie back.

As Andie copes with the ghosts of her past and present, she begins to see that what she wants is the same thing that everyone in the house wants--a second chance--and that maybe this time she'll get it.

Na die verdrietige periode besluiten Judith en haar achtjarige zoon Joshua een hond te nemen, een Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. Ze noemen hem George. Het is liefde op het eerste gezicht. George bruist van levensvreugde, ziet eruit als een filmster en kauwt het liefst op papier. Hij maakt hun joie de vivre weer wakker en geeft ze hun gevoel voor humor terug. Maar Judith merkt al gauw dat je in George net zoveel tijd moet steken als een fulltimebaan en dat hij in het onderhoud net zo duur is als een Ferrari. Eigenzinnig, koppig en zich vaak misdragend, weigert George wat anders te eten dan gebraden kip, reist liever per auto dan dat hij gaat lopen, en wordt hij jaloers zodra een man belangstelling voor haar toont. Mijn leven met George is het hilarische en ontroerende verhaal van de onmogelijke maar aanbiddelijke George.

Something evil has managed to conceal itself between the dry pages of the files: a series of killings so meticulously constructed that the mind behind them would have remained invisible without Isaac's sharp probing. And June 28 is just a month away - will Petra be able to stop the murderer from striking again?

Returning to their home after an extended absence Carol and her husband Michel are looking forward to summer together on the farm. A shocking blow leaves Carol alone. The future is uncertain. THE OLIVE HARVEST takes us beyond the perimeters of her olive groves to where hunters, poets, bee-keepers, boars and gypsies abide.
