C’è chi guarda le vetrine desiderando cose che non potrà mai permettersi, chi invece ammira le foto di alberghi di lusso in cui non andrà mai. Io mi sono spesso immaginata di aver incontrato un ragazzo carinissimo e perfetto quando invece non esisteva. Come quel giorno in cui avrei preferito restarmene a casa anzichè partecipare a un matrimonio. Non era tanto la cerimonia a disturbarmi, quanto il fatto che ci sarebbe stato quel bastardo del mio ex, al braccio di mia sorella, per giunta, mentre io sarei arrivata da sola. L’unica soluzione era inventarsi un fidanzato, un tipo meraviglioso e affascinante con sex appeal da vendere e un tagliente senso dell’umorismo. Uno di quelli per cui le altre sbavano di invidia e sarebbero disposte a tutto pur di rubartelo... Di sicuro uno così non è l’uomo della porta accanto, sarebbe troppo bello per essere vero.

Callie Grey nel giorno del suo trentesimo compleanno si ritrova a partecipare a una festa organizzata dalla madre nell'impresa di Pompe Funebri di famiglia, a fare i conti con una proposta di matrimonio che non arriva e a ricevere come regalo la notizia che il suo capo, con cui ha condiviso le cinque settimane più belle della sua vita, si è fidanzato con quella odiosa e sempre a posto in tacco 12 “Miss Perfettina”. L'unica soluzione è calare l'asso e giocare la carta della gelosia. Ecco il candidato perfetto: Ian McFarland, il veterinario del paese - un tipo non tanto caliente e un po' strano. È burbero e scontroso, si trova a suo agio con gli animali, ma non ama gli esseri umani. Sarà per questo che è così adorabile?

Un bel giorno di giugno, davanti a mezza città, in uno sfarzoso abito da principessa, con in mano un profumato bouquet di rose, Faith Elizabeth Holland fu piantata all'altare. Ma questo è successo un po' di tempo fa. Da allora, dopo quell'umiliazione cocente, se ne è andata ed è diventata "un po' cauta", con gli uomini, tanto da aver inventato un metodo sicuro per non farsi più fregare: l'interrogatorio. La cautela, però, non è mai abbastanza, a quanto pare. Clint aveva superato tutti i suoi test, sembrava affidabile, perfetto, tanto perfetto che non gli mancava nulla, nemmeno moglie e figli. Carogna! Così, quando una crisi familiare richiama Faith alla Blue Heron Winery, l'azienda vinicola di famiglia, lei coglie la palla al balzo per allontanarsi il più possibile da quell'ultima delusione. Lì incontra di nuovo Levi, migliore amico del suo ex, mancato testimone di nozze e responsabile del suo abbandono. Lo stesso che l'aveva baciata. Lo stesso che forse lei vorrebbe baciare ancora!

New York Times bestselling author Kristan Higgins welcomes you home in this witty, emotionally charged novel about the complications of life, love and family One step forward. Two steps back. The Tufts scholarship that put Nora Stuart on the path to becoming a Boston medical specialist was a step forward. Being hit by a car and then overhearing her boyfriend hit on another doctor when she thought she was dying? Two major steps back. Injured in more ways than one, Nora feels her carefully built life cracking at the edges. There's only one place to land: home. But the tiny Maine community she left fifteen years ago doesn't necessarily want her. At every turn, someone holds the prodigal daughter of Scupper Island responsible for small-town drama and big-time disappointments. With a tough islander mother who's always been distant, a wild-child sister in jail and a withdrawn teenage niece as eager to ditch the island as Nora once was, Nora has her work cut out for her if she's going to take what might be her last chance to mend the family. Balancing loss and opportunity, dark events from her past with hope for the future, Nora will discover that tackling old pain makes room for promise...and the chance to begin again.

""Lillie knew the empty nest would be hard when her son left for college, but she had no idea of the full extent to which her world would come crashing down--until her husband announced out of the blue that he was in love with another woman, and he would be leaving, too. Besides the fact that this announcement was a complete surprise (to say the least), what surprised her most was that she wasn't...sad. She was furious. What was she supposed to do now? She surely couldn't look for help from her mother, who had left the family on Cape Cod to live with her new wife when Lillie was still a little girl. Lillie's sister, Hannah, had abandoned her to live a more interesting life and wouldn't be any help now either. Her father was usually her rock, but recently, he'd betrayed her by taking Ben Harriman under his wing--the man who almost ruined her life in a car accident when she was in high school. Her dad had put the guy up in the family guesthouse, which was certainly no help to Lillie at all. And she sure as hell wasn't going to get any help from Melissa, her husband's gold-digging new wife (or her oddly lost teenage niece, Ophelia). So, who was going to help her? Actually, maybe all of them. And maybe she would save them, too"--
