SOMMER DER LIEBE IN BATH von THORNTON, CLAIRE Als Abigail der attraktive Marinekapitän Gifford Raven vorgestellt wird, möchte sie vor Scham am liebsten im Erdboden versinken: In der Nacht zuvor sind sie sich schon einmal begegnet - und sie trug lediglich ein Negligé! Gifford muss sie für ein schrecklich loses Frauenzimmer halten. Das Schlimmste ist jedoch: Wann immer sich nun ihre Wege im sommerlichen Bath kreuzen, verspürt sie eine tiefe Sehnsucht nach ihm ... VERWEGENE SEHNSUCHT von NICHOLS, MARY Ein Skandal zwingt Lady Jane, ihre Verlobung mit Harry Hemingford, dem künftigen Earl of Bostock, zu lösen. Doch Harrys Küsse bleiben unvergesslich! Kein anderer der Gentlemen, die sich um Janes Gunst bemühen, vermag ihr Herz so zu berühren. Zwei Jahre später kreuzen sich ihre Wege in London erneut, und Jane spürt: Sie liebt Harry noch immer. Aber kann er verzeihen, dass sie ihn damals so schmählich abgewiesen hat?
