Schönheit des Nebels: EIN ROMAN DES MACPHERSON-CLANS (EIN ROMAN DES MACPHERSON-CLANS)
by Jan Coffey May McGoldrickEin rauer Highlander, der die Braut seines Königs zurückholen soll, trifft auf eine geheimnisvolle Schönheit, die auf dem Meer treibt... Maria war mit siebzehn Jahren zwangsverheiratet und kurz darauf zur Witwe gemacht worden. Jetzt, fünf Jahre später, hatte ihr Bruder unbemerkt einen anderen Ehemann für sie ausgewählt - den jungen König von Schottland. Maria, die nie Leidenschaft oder Liebe gekannt hatte, weigerte sich, sich zu fügen, und schwor, in die Freiheit zu fliehen. Doch das Schiff, für das sie sich entschied, ging im aufkommenden Nebel unter und überließ die dunkelhaarige Schönheit der Gnade von Wind und Gezeiten, während sie auf ein erschütterndes Schicksal zusteuerte. Denn es war kein anderer als der Highland-Häuptling John Macpherson, der auf dem Weg war, die Braut seines jungen Königs nach Hause zu holen, der die schöne Maria aus dem Meer rettete. Fast von dem Moment an, als sie sich begegneten, entflammte zwischen ihnen eine Anziehungskraft. Maria genoss diese wenigen gestohlenen Tage, wohl wissend, dass ihre Liebe nicht von Dauer sein würde, sobald der stolze Highlander ihre wahre Identität entdeckte. Maria wusste, dass es sie zwar befreien würde, wenn sie ihrem Herzen folgte, dass sie damit aber das Leben ihres Geliebten einbüßte...
Schüttel den Zuckerbaum (The Der Zuckerbaum #1)
by Heike Reifgens Nick WilgusBuch 1 in der Serie - Der ZuckerbaumFlapsig und immer einen kessen Spruch auf den Lippen: Wiley Cantrell ist laut, rasant und unverschämt. Und das muss er im Tiefsten Süden der USA auch sein, um sich tiefreligiöse Nachbarn und Familienmitglieder gleichermaßen vom Leib zu halten. Ein verkrachter Schriftsteller, lebt Wiley von Lebensmittelmarken, arbeitet für den Mindestlohn und kann sich und seinen tauben Sohn Noah nur mit Mühe über Wasser halten. Noah ist ein Drogenbaby, mit allen Geburtsdefekten, die dazugehören. Er sieht, wie einsam sein Vater ist und versucht, einen festen Freund für ihn zu finden. Derweil bemüht Wiley sich, Noah eine Beziehung zu seiner inhaftierten Mutter zu ermöglichen, die der Ansicht ist, dass die beste Methode, ein Kind zu füttern, eine Steinschleuder ist. Es ist also nicht überraschend, dass Noah Wileys größter Befürworter wird, als sich Krankenpfleger Jackson Ledbetter aus Boston an Wileys Kasse anstellt und seinen Zuckerbaum in Brand setzt. Jackson verliebt sich Hals über Kopf in Wileys Sinn für Humor. Und während Wiley in vielerlei Hinsicht das Beste am Süden repräsentiert, verbirgt Jackson ein Geheimnis, dass die neu entstehende Familie bedroht. Wenn Nord auf Süd trifft, sind kulturelle Missverständnisse vorprogrammiert, und es gibt viel Gelächter und viele Tränen, aber wie sie unten in Dixie sagen: Alles gut.
