Beschreibung

If you were the parent of a twenty-five-year-old daughter, who is an unemployed perpetual student and descended upon you with her cat, what would you do?
 
Rachel and Joe, who retired to a 50-Plus condo, must exercise tough love on their only child Angie after she leaves an ashram, searching for her purpose - again. At the insistence of Joe, Angie finds a job at a burger joint on the shores of Daytona Beach.
 
She is dating Josh, the son of man living in the condo with connections to gambling. But fruit doesn’t fall far from the tree. After being harassed at work by a man who turns up dead, Angie suspects Josh is the murderer, and she and Rachel begin sleuthing.
 
Amid threats from Josh’s father and being captive in a sinkhole, Angie realizes her strengths. But can they discover the truth?

    The feelgood, romance, guaranteed to make you smile from bestselling winner of the RNA Romantic Comedy Award 2024, Maxine Morrey 
    Some days Bee feels invisible. Most days Bee does not feel as if she is ‘living her best life’. 
    Sure she has a loyal group of friends, a job she’s good at, and a small London flat to call home, but a lot of the time, Bee feels as if no one actually ‘sees’ her.  
    Her best friend, the unfeasibly handsome and successful Luca Donato does not have that problem. People are practically falling over themselves whenever they see Luca, but one thing the two friends do have in common, is they haven’t yet found the ‘One’. When their friend Tia challenges them to change all that through online dating, Luca and Bee set about the task with very different levels of enthusiasm. 
    The saying goes that you have to kiss a lot of frogs to find your prince, and it’s not long before Bee is ready to admit defeat. But with Luca inundated with potential love interests, Bee is determined not to give up. Surely her perfect partner is out there somewhere…
