DOWNLOAD EBOOKDer Start der neuen Reihe von Romance-Autorin Tina Köpke! Für alle Fans von Kleinstadtgeschichten mit Witz und Charme. # Die 28-jährige Emma hat einen Plan für alles. Vor allem einen Plan, wie sie ihre Probleme erfolgreich verdrängen kann. Dabei benötigt es nur eine kleine Erschütterung, um ihr scheinbar so perfekt inszeniertes Dasein ins Wanken zu bringen ... »Weißt du schon, dass Jake wieder da ist?« Eigentlich hatte Jake die idyllische Kleinstadt Maywood hinter sich gelassen. Eigentlich. Denn er ist zurück und niemand weiß, wieso. Nur Emma ist sich sicher, dass Grübchen, breite Schultern und eine Entschuldigung nicht darüber hinwegtäuschen können, dass er noch immer derselbe ist wie vor zwölf Jahren. Schließlich ist es unmöglich, sich so gravierend zu ändern - oder doch? # »Wow, ich hätte nie gedacht, dich mal angetrunken zu erleben.« Jakes Mundwinkel zuckte. »Und Mike meinte schon, du wärst langweilig geworden.« Emma schenkte dem Barkeeper einen finsteren Blick, der daraufhin das Gesicht verzog, als erleide er körperliche Schmerzen. Danach wandte sie sich wieder an Jake. »Warum bist du in meiner Stadt?« Er lachte. »Deine Stadt?« »Da du gegangen bist, ist es meine Stadt.« »Und bevor ich weggezogen bin, war es meine?« »Nein, da gehörte Maywood uns beiden.« »Emma, dieser Ort ist kein Scheidungskind und du hast nicht das alleinige Sorgerecht bekommen.« Sie ballte ihre Hände zu Fäusten. Jake machte sie wahnsinnig und Mia hatte ihr einmal erzählt, wie befriedigend es war, jemandem eine zu verpassen. Wenn er so weiter machte, würde sie diese Theorie an ihm testen. # Alle Bände sind in sich abgeschlossen und können unabhängig voneinander gelesen werden.
