Chicago Stars quarterback Dean Robillard seems to have it all: fame, fortune, and a side career as a billboard model. Yet, he feels something is missing and embarks on a cross-country trip to rediscover himself. On a desolate stretch of Colorado highway, he encounters Blue Bailey, a woman in a beaver suit with a mission to confront her ex. Despite her unconventional attire, Blue is determined and resourceful, needing a ride and seeing Dean's luxurious car as her ticket out. As a portrait painter, Blue thrives on her nomadic lifestyle, but she must keep Dean entertained and unaware of her true intentions. However, Dean is far from the simple jock she expects, and Blue proves to be one of the toughest women he's ever met. Their journey takes them to Dean's summer home, where their lives intertwine with a cast of characters: a charismatic aging rock star, a beautiful woman reconciling with her past, an eleven-year-old yearning for family, and a bitter old woman. As summer unfolds, Dean and Blue navigate their complicated feelings and the challenges that arise, engaging in a high-stakes game of love and self-discovery. This story resonates with anyone who has ever contemplated leaving their past behind and seeking a new beginning, exploring where true love resides.

Molti definirebbero perfetta la vita di Blaise McCarthy. Icona dell'informazione televisiva, a quarantasette anni Blaise vanta una carriera invidiabile e gira il mondo per intervistare uomini potenti e capi di stato, ponendo loro domande scomode con coraggio e determinazione. Nessuno sa, però, che Blaise è la madre single di una ragazzina non vedente, Salima. In seguito a una tragedia, la scuola che si occupa a tempo pieno di Salima chiude, e l'elegante appartamento newyorkese di Blaise viene invaso dalla figlia e da Simon Ward, l'educatore mandato dall'istituto per occuparsi della ragazza. I due nuovi arrivi stravolgono la vita di Blaise, costringendola ad affrontare i problemi irrisolti con la figlia e ad abituarsi alla presenza di quello sconosciuto che la affascina più di quanto lei stessa sia disposta ad ammettere. Mentre la giornalista cerca di trovare un po' di stabilità nel privato, la sua carriera subisce un duro colpo: il network per cui lavora assume una giovane anchorwoman allo scopo di sostituirla. Quando ormai ogni certezza sembra essere appesa a un filo, Blaise si troverà di fronte a una scelta che potrebbe cambiare la sua esistenza per sempre, rendendola forse meno perfetta, ma di certo più vera. "Una vita perfetta" offre il ritratto di una protagonista forte e determinata, impegnata a conciliare la sua immagine pubblica di giornalista televisiva con il suo ruolo difficile di madre di una ragazzina disabile.

When Swiss-born Hugues Martin sees a small, run-down hotel in New York for the rough diamond it is, he transforms it into a beautiful boutique hotel of impeccable elegance, run with the precision and attention to detail he learned through his hotelier training in Europe.

But when his wife tires of his obsession for the hotel, she walks out on him for a notorious rock star, leaving Hugues a single parent to four-year-old Heloise.

As unexpected challenges arise, the hotel is the centre of their world. And when Heloise grows us, she longs to follow in her father's footsteps and one day run the Hotel Vendôme. The lessons she learned at his side will carry her through it all, in a story no reader will forget.
