Bronte Flowers is a happy-go-lucky lady, always smiling, glass always half-full - and she has combined her two loves of cooking and stationery in her little cafe, The Orange Teapot. The Orange Teapot is a home of sorts to a ragtag group of people who love its homely charm and Bronte's ability to make people feel good about themselves: Carla: who has just lost her husband and who has just found out he was not all he seemed. Tessie: whose rogue of a husband ran away years ago and she never got over it. Now he is back - and says he's dying. Ryan: the bright young 'Saturday boy' who comes from a rough council estate and finds much needed respite working in The Orange Teapot. The owner is a gruff Irishman - Shaun Collins - a man with a tragic past which has coloured his whole life. Will Bronte and her little cafe be able to rescue him from his demons?

Combining heart-wrenching emotion with edge-of-your-seat tension, Charles Martin explores the true power of sacrificial love.

"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. Breathing life into the ancient world, Madeline Miller weaves an intoxicating tale of gods and heroes, magic and monsters, survival and transformation." --Publisher

Ez a Jane Eyre modern újraértelmezése egy mai jogi irodában játszódik, tele romantikával és reménnyel, miközben a klasszikus történet visszhangzó szívveréseit követi. Jane, aki korábban nevelőszülőknél élt, magányos életet élt egy külvárosi étteremben, keményen dolgozva a megélhetésért. Miután eleged van az évekig tartó küzdelemből, Jane jogi asszisztensnek tanul, és nem sokkal a diploma megszerzése után állást ajánlanak neki egy neves jogi irodában Torontó belvárosában. A cég munkatársai úgy vélik, hogy kudarcra van ítélve, mivel főnöke, Edward Rosen, a Rosen, Haythe & Thornfield LLP többségi tulajdonosa, híresen nehéz természetű. Jane azonban már sokkal rosszabb próbákat is túlélt, és nem hajlandó visszakozni, amikor a gazdasági szabadság olyan közel van. Edward soha nem tudott asszisztenst megtartani, de Jane csendes kompetenciája és szellemes észjárása felkelti az érdeklődését. Ahogy közelednek egymáshoz, érzelmeik fejlődésnek indulnak, de amikor Edward titkai veszélyeztetik Jane függetlenségét, szembesülnie kell a régóta elfeledett múltjával, és döntenie kell, hogy megéri-e kinyitni a szívét.
