A Spring Hill tér kedves kis menedékhely, távol a mindennapok nyüzsgésétől. Itt várja vendégeit Leni Merryman Sarki teaháza, amely valódi paradicsom a könyvmolyok számára, és csak úgy vonzza a magányos szíveket. Leni kínálja a környék legkülönlegesebb tortáit a legizgalmasabb irodalmi témákkal fűszerezve: ki az ellenszenvesebb, Mr. Darcy vagy Heathcliff? A Manderley-ház asszonyának története szívszorítóbb, vagy Jane Eyre-é? Az irodalmi teadélutánok résztvevői hétről hétre mind jobban megnyílnak egymás előtt, s kiderül, hogy az ő életük is csaknem olyan regényes, mint kedvenc hőseiké. Hazugságok, tönkrement házasságok, éveken át titkolt kapcsolatok, személyes tragédiák látnak napvilágot. De nincs az a szív, amelyet ne melegítene át egy forró angol tea, egy szelet finom sütemény és Leni Merryman mosolya.

In the house of Helios, god of the sun and mightiest of the Titans, a daughter is born. But Circe has neither the look nor the voice of divinity, and is scorned and rejected by her kin. Increasingly isolated, she turns to mortals for companionship, leading her to discover a power forbidden to the gods: witchcraft. When love drives Circe to cast a dark spell, wrathful Zeus banishes her to the remote island of Aiaia. There she learns to harness her occult craft, drawing strength from nature. But she will not always be alone; many are destined to pass through Circe's place of exile, entwining their fates with hers. The messenger god, Hermes. The craftsman, Daedalus. A ship bearing a golden fleece. And wily Odysseus, on his epic voyage home. There is danger for a solitary woman in this world, and Circe's independence draws the wrath of men and gods alike. To protect what she holds dear, Circe must decide whether she belongs with the deities she is born from, or the mortals she has come to love.

A stunning, sweeping love story set against the backdrop of the German Occupation of Guernsey during World War Two.

This powerful reimagining of Jane Eyre, set in a modern-day law firm, is full of romance and hope as it follows the echoing heartbeats of the classic story.A former foster kid, Jane has led a solitary life as a waitress in the suburbs, working hard to get by. Tired of years of barely scraping together a living, Jane takes classes to become a legal assistant and shortly after graduating accepts a job offer at a distinguished law firm in downtown Toronto. Everyone at the firm thinks she is destined for failure because her boss is the notoriously difficult Edward Rosen, the majority stakeholder of Rosen, Haythe & Thornfield LLP. But Jane has known far worse trials and refuses to back down when economic freedom is so close at hand.Edward has never been able to keep an assistant--he's too loud, too messy, too ill-tempered. There's something about the quietly competent, delightfully sharp-witted Jane that intrigues him though. As their orbits overlap, their feelings begin to develop--first comes fondness and then something more. But when Edward's secrets put Jane's independence in jeopardy, she must face long-ignored ghosts from her past and decide if opening her heart is a risk worth taking.
