Bøger af Martina Boone

A timeless story of hope and renewal . . . Award-winning author Martina Boone takes us to a magical setting in the Scottish Highlands to spin a heartwarming standalone novel of love and loss, family and friendship, hope and redemption, and small towns and big ambitions. Cait Fletcher was always second-string in her father's eyes, unable to compete with her perfect older brother. Her father's view of Cait only deteriorated further when she fell for the local "bad boy" at the age of nine, and her belief in Brice MacLaren never once wavered until the day he betrayed her a few months before their wedding. With their tiny glen too full of opinionated neighbors, wandering sheep, ancient grudges, and countless old traditions to let Cait escape either her past or her mistakes, she moved away--until her father's unexpected illness gave her no choice but to return. Home again, Cait still loves the village of Balwhither as much as she hates it, and she despises the fact that avoiding Brice in the tiny village proves impossible. But when she discovers that her father has given up not only on the family-run Library and Tea Room but also on treatment for his cancer, she must put her own emotions and hurts aside. Brice claims he's changed, and he's certainly been good to her father since she left. Now can they work together as she follows the example of countless unsung heroes--the women of the Highlands--fighting to save the family business and give her father something meaningful to live for? A warm story of love, redemption, hope, and magical winter traditions that will charm new readers and fans of the Celtic Legends Collection alike. Perfect for fans of Nora Roberts, Susan Mallery, Susanna Kearsley, Susan Wiggs, Sarah Addison Allen, Inglath Cooper, and Kathryn Hughes.

Two generations, two great loves, one devastating lie . . . A modern Pride and Prejudice story. When Izzy loses her mother in a car accident, her world shatters. Their relationship has always been so close that Izzy can't imagine life without her. Nor can she begin to understand when she finds a hidden box of love letters that her mother wrote but never sent. The idea of her mother hiding such intense feelings for more than twenty years makes Izzy question everything she thought she knew--including the identity of her father. Following a trail of clues overseas, Izzy steps into a world of glamour and English royalty, one which years ago forced her mother to choose between her obligation to her musical gift and her lover's obligations to his family, title, and estate. It's a world of secrets and masquerades, of heartache and betrayal. And in the midst of this world, Izzy finds a young man who feels as broken as she does herself. The two are drawn to each other--only to discover that who their parents are may present an insurmountable obstacle between them. Thrown together on a journey of discovery that spans two lifetimes and takes them from a grand estate in the Cotswolds to a hospital bedside in India and ultimately to the Taj Mahal, Izzy and Malcolm try desperately not to fall in love. But some things are impossible. . . And some loves are worth any sacrifice... Uplifting, funny, tragic, and unforgettably romantic, Love for Two Lifetimes is a tale of two generations of romance, a lifetime of friendship, a history of good intentions, and one last, heartbreaking and hopeful choice revealed in prose, texts, and love letters. If you enjoy the fairy tale royal weddings or the intense emotion of any story by John Greene or Nicholas Sparks, Love for Two Lifetimes will have you turning pages late into the night.

A magical romance about fate, family, men in kilts, and the sometimes twisted path to love from award-winning author Martina Boone. "Delightful, charming, and heartwarming!" NYT bestselling author Wendy Higgins Helping her aunt organize a festival in the Scottish Highlands seems like a perfect escape from Anna Cameron's disaster of a broken engagement. The argumentative, kilt-wearing villagers and dangerous sheep are a minor setback, but Connal MacGregor, the secretive man who owns the land where the ancient tradition of Sighting takes place, poses a bigger problem. For locals, the Balwhither Glen is known as a "thin" place, where the veil between worlds peels back on the first of May each year to reveal an image of the person's one true love. This romantic tradition has been a local secret for centuries, and inviting the public to the Sighting could bring much-needed tourism to save the struggling businesses in the glen. If only Connal MacGregor would agree. As Anna struggles to mediate between the needs of the village and Connal's fight to keep his fragile daughter safely away from the tabloid press, she finds herself falling in love-with Connal and his daughter, with the villagers, and with the enchanted glen itself. As she discovers, though, knowing whom you are meant to love isn't always welcome news. Her efforts tear open generations of family secrets, and when danger comes calling, trusting themselves and each other may prove to be the hardest choice she and Connal have ever had to make.
