Bronte Flowers is a happy-go-lucky lady, always smiling, glass always half-full - and she has combined her two loves of cooking and stationery in her little cafe, The Orange Teapot. The Orange Teapot is a home of sorts to a ragtag group of people who love its homely charm and Bronte's ability to make people feel good about themselves: Carla: who has just lost her husband and who has just found out he was not all he seemed. Tessie: whose rogue of a husband ran away years ago and she never got over it. Now he is back - and says he's dying. Ryan: the bright young 'Saturday boy' who comes from a rough council estate and finds much needed respite working in The Orange Teapot. The owner is a gruff Irishman - Shaun Collins - a man with a tragic past which has coloured his whole life. Will Bronte and her little cafe be able to rescue him from his demons?

Fruit des amours d'un dieu et d'une mortelle, Circé la nymphe grandit parmi les divinités de l'Olympe. Mais son caractère étonne. Détonne. On la dit sorcière, parce qu'elle aime changer les choses. Plus humaine que céleste, parce qu'elle est sensible. En l'exilant sur une île déserte, comme le fut jadis Prométhée pour avoir trop aimé les hommes, ses pairs ne lui ont-ils pas plutôt rendu service ? Là, l'immortelle peut choisir qui elle est. Demi-déesse, certes, mais femme avant tout. Puissante, libre, amoureuse...

A stunning, sweeping love story set against the backdrop of the German Occupation of Guernsey during World War Two.

This powerful reimagining of Jane Eyre, set in a modern-day law firm, is full of romance and hope as it follows the echoing heartbeats of the classic story.A former foster kid, Jane has led a solitary life as a waitress in the suburbs, working hard to get by. Tired of years of barely scraping together a living, Jane takes classes to become a legal assistant and shortly after graduating accepts a job offer at a distinguished law firm in downtown Toronto. Everyone at the firm thinks she is destined for failure because her boss is the notoriously difficult Edward Rosen, the majority stakeholder of Rosen, Haythe & Thornfield LLP. But Jane has known far worse trials and refuses to back down when economic freedom is so close at hand.Edward has never been able to keep an assistant--he's too loud, too messy, too ill-tempered. There's something about the quietly competent, delightfully sharp-witted Jane that intrigues him though. As their orbits overlap, their feelings begin to develop--first comes fondness and then something more. But when Edward's secrets put Jane's independence in jeopardy, she must face long-ignored ghosts from her past and decide if opening her heart is a risk worth taking.
