Claudia thought she knew how this summer was going to go. Turns out, she didn't have a clue... It's been two years since Claudia arrived on the beautifully rugged Cornish coast with nothing but a suitcase to her name. She'd walked out on the husband who had never loved her, ditched the corporate job she'd never wanted and vowed that no gym membership card would come within ten feet of her ever again. Swapping boardrooms and cocktails for a little shop right at the end of the beach road should have been a bit of a shock. But from the moment she first laid eyes on the empty, run-down store, Claudia knew this was where she was meant to be all along. After all that upheaval, Claudia was looking forward to a quiet summer, full of the usual holidaymakers and long walks along the clifftops. But life in her patch of paradise is about to change in more ways than one. Enter recently widowed Jason, dragging his sullen teenage daughter Millie in tow. Millie and Claudia immediately hit it off. And while Millie loves everything about Claudia's free-spirited way of life, practical architect Jason is less than thrilled about his daughter's new interests. He doesn't shy away from telling Claudia exactly what he thinks and sparks fly every time they meet. But as circumstances throw Claudia into Jason's path in increasingly unexpected ways, she begins to glimpse what lies beneath his fiery temper and sharp tongue. Claudia was sure her new life was perfect in every way. But was there something missing after all? The perfect summer holiday escape, full of warmth, humour and heart. Fans of Sarah Morgan, Cathy Bramley and Phillipa Ashley will be charmed by this seaside romance.

Splashes Into Books Her La Cour des Roses series has sold over 200,000 copies For fans of Sarah Morgan, Nicola May, Phillipa Ashley and Cathy Bramley As a child, Helen had a vivid imagination fuelled by her love of reading (long past her bedtime!) so she started to create her own stories in a notebook. She still prefers fictional worlds to real life and loves infusing her writing with humour and heart. Helen lives in Yorkshire with her husband, two grown-up (in theory) kids and a Jekyll and Hyde cat. She enjoys reading, coffee with friends and indulging her nostalgia by watching old seventies and eighties TV shows.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Consciousness is the ground of our identity and a source of great value. It is the only thing we know for certain is real. Without it, the universe would still be awe-inspiring, but without a conscious mind to appreciate its majesty, there is no value in the existence of all that stuff. #2 The fact that we are conscious beings is the most certain thing in the world, and yet we have been unable to incorporate this fact into our scientific understanding of the world. #3 The track record of physical science in explaining everything else is impressive. But the track record of physical science in explaining consciousness is dismal. Many scientists and philosophers take this to be good evidence that, in spite of current disappointments, neuroscience will one day crack the mystery of consciousness. #4 The problem of explaining the origins of life was solved by the insight that complex organisms emerge from complex systems. The problem of explaining the origins of consciousness was solved by the theory of natural selection, which explained how complex life emerges.

Vanna Brandimarte, donna caratterizzata da un forte temperamento, resta vedova di suo marito, Gentile Mondaldeschi. Il suo compito ora è quello di badare a suo figlio, Ermanno. Il ragazzo ha grandi ambizioni, ma lei cercherà in ogni modo di piegarlo al suo volere, cercando di ostacolare il suo sogno di diventare un prete o, chissà, addirittura un cardinale. Quando Ermanno entra in seminario, tuttavia, diverse vicissitudini lo riporteranno a fare i conti con quella che è la vita materiale, in cui ad alternarsi sono anche passione e malattia... Clarice Tartufari (1868-1933), al secolo Gouzy, è stata una scrittrice e giornalista italiana. Nasce in un paese in provincia di Grosseto, dove trascorre gran parte della sua vita, e, in giovane età, si dedica alla scrittura di poesie e racconti. Clarice Tartufari è però principalmente nota per la sua produzione in ambito narrativo, grazie alla quale viene persino paragonata a Grazia Deledda. Nelle sue opere spicca la meticolosità con cui ritrae una Toscana oltremodo realistica, spazio all'interno del quale si muovono i protagonisti delle vicende, spesso incarnati da donne. Tra i suoi romanzi principali ricordiamo "Il miracolo", "All'uscita del labirinto" e "Ti porto via!".
