#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ∙ A couple who broke up months ago pretend to still be together for their annual weeklong vacation with their best friends in this glittering and wise novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Emily Henry. “The beach-read master hooks us again."—People Harriet and Wyn have been the perfect couple since they met in college—they go together like salt and pepper, honey and tea, lobster and rolls. Except, now—for reasons they’re still not discussing—they don’t. They broke up five months ago. And still haven’t told their best friends. Which is how they find themselves sharing a bedroom at the Maine cottage that has been their friend group’s yearly getaway for the last decade. Their annual respite from the world, where for one vibrant, blissful week they leave behind their daily lives; have copious amounts of cheese, wine, and seafood; and soak up the salty coastal air with the people who understand them most. Only this year, Harriet and Wyn are lying through their teeth while trying not to notice how desperately they still want each other. Because the cottage is for sale and this is the last week they’ll all have together in this place. They can’t stand to break their friends’ hearts, and so they’ll play their parts. Harriet will be the driven surgical resident who never starts a fight, and Wyn will be the laid-back charmer who never lets the cracks show. It’s a flawless plan (if you look at it from a great distance and through a pair of sunscreen-smeared sunglasses). After years of being in love, how hard can it be to fake it for one week…in front of those who know you best?

In the first half of this book, she explores the quintessential elements of French Flair, including colours, fabrics, furniture, materials and more. In the second half of the book, Fifi visits 12 homes that celebrate all things French, from the heart of New Orleans to the idyllic countryside of California. A creative couple has built a Provençal farmhouse in Montecito, an interior designer has brought rustic charm to a cottage in Texas and a French-born antiques dealer has made a light-filled home in Los Angeles. These homeowners have looked beyond the trends of today to create interiors with longevity where classic and contemporary pieces hold equal sway. The effect is ornate yet simple, layered yet uncluttered, airy yet filled with personal details. With photography by Mark Lohman, this book will inspire you to bring the timeless French Flair look into your home.

3 BEZAUBERNDE BESTSELLER-ROMANE ÜBER DIE SULLIVANS AUS NEW YORK (BAND 1-3) "Ich habe das Buch um ein Uhr morgens ausgelesen, weil ich es einfach nicht aus der Hand legen konnte. Ich habe laut gelacht, geweint und mich in die Charaktere verliebt. Was für eine unglaublich tolle Geschichte!" 5 Sterne Vier Herzen vor dem Traualtar Was bekommt man zu sehen, wenn zwei Sullivans am selben Tag heiraten? Zwei unglaublich attraktive Bräutigame. Zwei wunderschöne Bräute. Zwei sehr unkonventionelle (vierbeinige, behaarte) Ringträger. Und Sullivans aus aller Welt, die zusammenkommen, um miteinander zu feiern, wenn sich der Automogul Zach Sullivan und die Hundetrainerin Heather Linsey am selben Tag wie der berühmte Baseballprofi Ryan Sullivan und die Bildhauerin Vicki Bennett das Jawort geben. Bilder von dir Der weltberühmte Künstler Drake Sullivan malt keine Frauen. Nie. Denn er weiß zu gut, wie zerstörerisch die Beziehung zwischen Maler und Muse sein kann. Als aber eines Tages Rosa Bouchard über die Klippen vor seinem Cottage in Montauk wandert, ist Drake so von ihr gefesselt, dass er sie unbedingt auf der Leinwand zum Leben erwecken muss. Reality-TV-Star Rosa Bouchard ist von den Nacktfotos, die soeben von ihr im Internet aufgetaucht sind, schockiert und entsetzt. Instinktiv flüchtet sie von ihrem Zuhause in Miami, um sich zu verstecken. Nach einer durchfahrenen Nacht landet sie in Montauk, New York, wo sie keine Seele kennt. Nie im Traum hätte Rosa erwartet, einen so sündhaft sexy Mann wie Drake Sullivan zu finden und sich in ihn zu verlieben. Weil es Liebe ist Einen Leibwächter braucht Suzanne Sullivan nicht. Schließlich ist sie eine der erfolgreichsten Expertinnen für digitale Sicherheit weltweit und kann - trotz der Probleme in letzter Zeit - auf jeden Fall selbst auf sich aufpassen. Ihre drei Brüder sehen das leider anders. Als auf einmal ein viel zu gutaussehender Bodyguard auftaucht und fest entschlossen ist, sie zu beschützen, ob sie es will oder nicht, fliegen die Funken. Roman Huson hat sich geschworen, alles in seiner Macht Stehende zu tun, um Suzanne Sullivan vor Schaden zu bewahren. Allerdings ist er vorher noch nie für eine so schöne, intelligente Frau im Einsatz gewesen. Während er sich bemüht, mit ihr Schritt zu halten, muss er sich ständig zügeln, um nicht wie ein Wilder über sie herzufallen und sie zu küssen - und steht damit vor der größten Herausforderung seines Lebens.

“The Hand-Sculpted House inspired me to learn and do more and transformed how I saw homes and building in general.”—Mother Earth News “If you follow it word for word you will build yourself a house no matter who you are.”—Builder Paul Dillon, quoted in The Irish Times Are you ready for the Cob Cottage? This is a building method so old and so simple that it has been all but forgotten in the rush to synthetics. A cob cottage, however, might be the ultimate expression of ecological design, a structure so attuned to its surroundings that its creators refer to it as “an ecstatic house.” The authors build a house the way others create a natural garden. They use the oldest, most available materials imaginable–earth; clay, sand, straw, and water–and blend them to redefine the future (and past) of building. Cob (the word comes from an Old English root, meaning “lump”) is a mixture of non-toxic, recyclable, and often free materials. Building with cob requires no forms, no cement, and no machinery of any kind. Builders actually sculpt their structures by hand. Building with earth is nothing new to America; the oldest structures on the continent were built with adobe bricks. Adobe, however, has been geographically limited to the Southwest. The limits of cob are defined only by the builder’s imagination. Cob offers answers regarding our role in Nature, family and society , about why we feel the ways that we do, about what’s missing in our lives. Cob comes as a revelation, a key to a saner world. Cob has been a traditional building process for millennia in Europe, even in rainy and windy climates like the British Isles, where many cob buildings still serve as family homes after hundreds of years. Cob houses (or cottages, since they are always efficiently small by American construction standards) are not only compatible with their surroundings, they ARE their surroundings, literally rising up from the earth. They are full of light, energy-efficient, and cozy , with curved walls and built-in, whimsical touches. They are delightful. They are ecstatic.
