Given a backroom computer job when the beloved Birmingham library she works in turns into a downsized retail complex, Nina misses her old role terribly - dealing with people, greeting her regulars, making sure everyone gets the right books for their needs. Then a new business nobody else wants catches her eye: owning a tiny little bookshop bus up in the Scottish Highlands.

Christmas on the remote Scottish island of Mure is bleak, stark - and incredibly beautiful. It's a time for hunkering down, getting cosy in front of whisky barrel wood fires and enjoying a dram with the people you love - unless, of course, you're accidentally pregnant to your ex-boss and don't know how to tell him. In what should be the season of peace and goodwill on earth, will Joel think Flora is a bearer of glad tidings?

Escape to the Scottish Highlands where a tiny bookshop perches on the edge of a loch. Zoe is a single mother, sinking beneath the waves trying to cope by herself in London. Hari, her gorgeous little boy, is perfect in every way - except for the fact that he just doesn't speak at all. When her landlord raises the rent on her flat, Zoe doesn't know where to turn. Then Hari's aunt suggests Zoe could move to Scotland to help run a bookshop. Going from the lonely city to a small village in the Highlands could be the change Zoe and Hari desperately need.

Gertie has always had her head in the clouds, wondering what her life might be like if she could only pluck up the courage to leave the remote Scottish island where she was born. It's the only place she knows, but you can't do anything there without everyone knowing - the glue of this close-knit community is the Knitting Circle, a group of strong, capable and frankly nosy women who work hard, gossip, knit and support each other through thick and thin. At the centre of this sisterhood is Gertie's mum Jean and her grandmother Elspeth, and the three generations of women live together.

While Katie's glad it's not a man's world anymore, she'd be quite pleased if there were more men in it - or at least single ones, anyway. More likely to get murdered than married, according to gleeful media reports, Katie resigns herself to the fact there's no sex in the city and heads for the hills - or the Scottish Highlands, to be precise. Despite the fact she's never been a girl for wellies and Fairlish is in the middle of nowhere, the tiny town does have one major draw: men. Lots of them.

On the quayside next to the Endless Beach sits the Summer Seaside Kitchen. It's a haven for tourists and locals alike, who all come to eat the freshest local produce on the island and catch up with the gossip. Flora, who runs the café, feels safe and content - unless she thinks too hard about her relationship with Joel, her gorgeous but emotionally (and physically) distant boyfriend. While Flora is in turmoil about her relationship, her best friend, Lorna, is pining after the local doctor.

Maggie Adair, the passionate, devoted English teacher at Downey House, is about to ride off into the sunset with her new love when tragedy strikes. Pulled from their happy-ever-after, she and David must put their budding romance aside until they return for a new term, unsure where they now stand. A fresh new year at Downey House comes with more drama from the students - with Fliss and Alice at odds after a summer apart, and Simone trying to nurture her new relationship while dealing with exam stresses, the new term is shaping up to be a challenge for all.

Lorna nasceu e foi criada na ilha escocesa de Mure, um lugar tranquilo onde todos ajudam uns aos outros e existe um forte senso de comunidade. Quando o médico local precisa se aposentar, parece impossível arranjar alguém para ficar em seu lugar. Longe dali, em um campo de refugiados, Saif é o único médico presente quando um menino sofre um corte feio na mão. Ele quer ficar longe de problemas, mas a ética profissional e a compaixão o levam a se voluntariar para tratar o machucado.

Weihnachtlich, romantisch, wunderbar – Feel-Good-Unterhaltung von Bestsellerautorin Jenny Colgan. Ein festlich geschmückter Kamin mit prasselndem Feuer, ein köstliches Weihnachtsmenü und glückliche Gäste – so prachtvoll soll "The Rock", das neue Hotel auf der kleinen schottischen Insel Mure, an den Feiertagen erstrahlen. Doch wenige Wochen vor dem Fest ist das Hotel eine Baustelle, der Kamin nicht einsatzbereit und die Küche ein einziges Chaos.

Um balneário tranquilo, uma loja abandonada, um apartamento pequeno. É isso que espera Polly Waterford quando ela chega à Cornualha, na Inglaterra, fugindo de um relacionamento tóxico. Para manter os pensamentos longe dos problemas, Polly se dedica a seu passatempo favorito: fazer pão. Enquanto amassa, estica e esmurra a massa, extravasa todas as emoções e prepara fornadas cada vez mais gostosas. Assim, o hobby se transforma em paixão e logo ela começa a operar sua magia usando frutos secos, sementes, chocolate e o mel local, cortesia de um lindo e charmoso apicultor.

I Londons pulserende byliv har kærligheden trange kår. Så langt øjet rækker er der kun kvinder, kvinder, kvinder! Hvor er alle de dejlige mænd henne? Katie er glad for ikke at leve i en verden domineret af mænd. Men der kunne dog godt være lidt flere drømmeprinser. I London er der flere end 25 000 kvinder end mænd, og statistisk set er der større sandsynlighed for at blive ramt af lynet end Amors pil, så det er ikke ligefrem, fordi den store kærlighed tegner sig klart i horisonten.
