To år er gået siden Claudia ankom til de smukke, forrevne kyster i Cornwall med hele sit liv i en kuffert. Hun forlod sin mand, der ikke elskede hende, og sagde sit profilerede job op og sværgede, at hun aldrig igen skulle være bundet af forpligtelser eller et dødssygt fitnessmedlemskab. Hun byttede direktionskontorerne ud med en lille nichebutik, som hun nu driver alene. Men hendes nye paradisliv vil snart forandre sig.Enkemanden Jason har tvunget sin ugidelige teenagedatter Millie til byen, som dog hurtigt fascineres af Claudias eventyrlystne tilgang til livet. Jason derimod er ikke begejstret for deres venskab, og han lægger ikke fingrene imellem. Alligevel flettes Jason og Claudia ind i hinandens liv, og Claudia opdager, hvad der gemmer sig under hans iltre temperament.Den lille butik i Cornwall er en hjertevarm og humoristisk fortælling om uventede venskaber, daseferier i strandstole og et uforglemmeligt møde for enden af strandpromenaden.

Zomerzon, witte wijn en een adembenemende verloofde. Daar kan niets tussenkomen.

Ze gaat trouwen met Alain met zijn karamelkleurige ogen. Het leven lacht haar toe. Ook al strest haar moeder over de bruiloft en duikt de ex van Alain ineens op. Maar terwijl de grote dag steeds sneller nadert, gooit een geheim uit Emmy’s verleden roet in het eten. Zal haar idyllische Franse bruiloft doorgaan of moet Emmy met een gebroken hart terug naar Engeland?

Emmy heeft het roer omgegooid en is naar La Cour des Roses verhuisd, een prachtig pension tussen de wijngaarden in Frankrijk. Ze is de nieuwe manager en vastberaden er een succes van te maken. Ze zitten tot de nok toe volgeboekt wanneer de excentrieke en veeleisende familie Thomson komt logeren om er een gouden huwelijksfeest te vieren. Emmy houdt wel van een uitdaging en met de hulp van de aantrekkelijke Alain, de Frans-Engelse boekhouder, moet dat toch lukken? Maar ze had niet gerekend op een naakte, slaapwandelende reisblogger of de terugkeer van Gloria, de venijnige ex-vrouw van eigenaar Rupert. Emmy begon net een toekomst voor zichzelf te zien vol eindeloze zonneschijn en echte liefde. Vallen haar dromen nu in duigen?

Zon, croissants en goede wijn. De eenendertigjarige Emmy Jamieson kan niet wachten om twee weken te ontspannen in La Cour des Roses, een prachtig pension op het Franse platteland. Door een samenloop van omstandigheden blijft ze er iets langer om mee te helpen in het pension. Emmy begint zich er aardig thuis te voelen en langzaam verliefd te worden op La Cour des Roses en het Franse dorpje. Maar het zou waanzin zijn om alles achter te laten en te emigreren, toch? Leef mee met Emmy en haar pensionavonturen in dit eerste deel van de La Cour des Roses-serie.

They need a plan, and quickly, if Jean is to have a place to come back to this Christmas. Will Daisy be able to save the only real home she’s ever had?

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.

Emmy Jamieson elsker sin nye tilværelse som bestyrerinde af gæstgiveriet La Cour des Roses, omringet af bølgende bakker og nejende solsikker, midt i det frodige, franske landskab. Desuden har hun et nært forestående ægteskab med Alain i vente – Alain, med de karamelbrune øjne.Så længe hun fylder sit vinglas til randen med afkølet hvidvin, kan hun næsten ikke høre lyden af hendes mors bryllupsgalskab og den svage klingen af alarmklokker, som lyder fra Alains ekskæreste. En hel hær af gamle og nye venner, samt ejeren af gæstgiveriet, Rupert, står klar til at redde hende, hvis noget skulle komme i vejenfor Emmys lykke.Men da den store dag nærmer sig, vælter en stor hemmelighed frem i lyset. Vil hendes idylliske bryllup forløbe som planlagt? Eller vil Emmy stikke halen mellem benene og rejse hjem til England, med et knust hjerte i bagagen?

Summer sun, chilled, white wine, and a gorgeous fiancé. Nothing could upset pure bliss ... Right?Emmy Jamieson loves her new life in the gentle hills and sunflowers of the lush French countryside, managing La Cour des Roses, a beautiful, white stone guesthouse. With marriage to caramel-eyed Alain just round the corner, things couldn’t be more perfect.The odd glass (gallon) of wine dulls the sound of Emmy’s mum in full motherzilla-of-the-bride mode, and the faint tinkling of alarm bells coming from Alain’s ex are definitely nothing to worry about. Guesthouse owner Rupert and a whole host of old and new friends are there to make sure nothing gets in the way of Emmy’s happiness.But as Emmy gets close to the big day, a secret from the past throws everything decidedly off track. Will her idyllic French wedding go ahead as planned, or will Emmy run back home to England with a broken heart?This summer, escape to the rolling vineyards of France for an utterly uplifting read. Fans of Jenny Colgan, Debbie Johnson and Nick Alexander will want to join Emmy for a pain au chocolat in the sun-drenched garden at La Cour des Roses.What everyone’s saying about Summer at the Little French Guesthouse:‘I'm utterly bereft that this fantastic book has come to an end ...

Deres forhold kunne godt bruge lidt medvind og Emmy er sikker på, at en ferie som denne vil gøre udslaget.Men knap får de lynet rejsetaskerne op, før Nathan stikker af med Gloria, gæstgiveriejerens smukke kone. Den skrantende og forladte ægtemand, Rupert, er i chok og Emmy føler et vist ansvar. Efter en flaske vin (eller to, måske tre), vælger hun at tilbyde sin assistance på gæstgiveriet. Snart omgives Emmy af nye bekendtskaber og Nathan ryger direkte i glemmebogen, da hun møder den lækre gartner, Ryan, og den voldsomt irriterende (men flotte) revisor, Alain.Men det ville være det rene vanvid, hvis hun skulle forlade venner, familie og alt, hvad hun nogensinde har arbejdet på, for at drikke frisk kaffe og croissanter til morgenmad og fodre høns i den varme aftensol? Eller hvad …?
