Millie is devastated when she discovers that her sort-of-best friend/sort-of-girlfriend has been kissing someone else. Heartbroken and ready for a change, Millie decides to apply for scholarships to boarding schools...the farther from Houston the better. Soon, Millie is accepted into one of the world's most exclusive schools, located in the rolling highlands of Scotland. Here, the country is dreamy and green; the school is covered in ivy, and the students think her American-ness is adorable. The only problem: Mille's roommate Flora is a total princess. She's also an actual princess.

Eine paradiesische Insel mitten im Pazifik: Lux begleitet ihren Freund Nico. Er segelt zwei Freundinnen nach Meroe Island, die auf einer Weltreise sind. Dort angekommen treffen sie auf das wohlhabende Paar Jake und Eliza, die bereits vor der Insel ankern. Die sechs freunden sich an und genießen mehrere Tage fernab der Zivilisation. Als Robbie, ein weiterer Segler, auftaucht, kippt die Stimmung. Er raubt die Boote aus, zerstört die Funkgeräte und verschwindet. Zwischen Lux und Nico gibt es zunehmend Spannungen, die Gruppe driftet immer weiter auseinander.

Bellissima, selvaggia, inquietante: è Meroe, isola al largo delle Hawaii del tutto disabitata, poco più di un sasso lanciato nel mezzo del Pacifico, con una storia misteriosa di naufragi e scomparse. La destinazione perfetta per chi vuole un po' di avventura e qualche brivido. O per chi vuole scappare da qualcosa. E scappare è esattamente quello che Lux fa da una vita: scappare dal passato, da una famiglia che l'ha delusa troppo presto, da una versione di se stessa che non le è mai piaciuta.

Nella vita di Eddie Rochester non c'è posto per due mogli. Ma quale signora Rochester otterrà il suo lieto fine? Ci sono case così scintillanti da far pensare che le vite dei suoi abitanti siano semplicemente perfette. Come a Thornfield Estates, quartiere esclusivo di Birmingham, Alabama, dove la vita del Sud scorre lenta, tra un pettegolezzo e un evento di beneficenza. Jane non sa come abbia fatto a finire lì, lei che proviene da decisamente tutt'altro mondo; in ogni caso, ora è una delle più ricercate dog sitter del quartiere, e per lei non potrebbe esistere posto migliore.

The town of Journey's End may not literally be at the end of the world, but it sure feels like it to Nolie Stanhope. Spending the summer with her scientist father in the tiny Scottish village isn't exactly Nolie's idea of a good time, but she soon finds a friend: Native Journey's Ender Bel McKissick. While Nolie's father came to Journey's End to study the Boundary - a mysterious fog bank offshore - Bel's family can't afford to consider it a threat.

Just as Harper Price starts coming to terms with her role as David Stark's battle-ready Paladin, protector, and girlfriend, her world goes crazy all over again.

Jane vient d'arriver en Alabama, où, faute de mieux, elle exerce le métier de pet-sitter. Dans la résidence cossue où elle promène des chiens toilettés, on croise de rutilants 4x4 et des femmes au foyer qui s'ennuient ferme entre deux manucures. Le genre d'endroit où personne ne remarquera si elle vole quelques bibelots. La chance lui sourit lorsqu'elle se fait renverser par une voiture. À son bord, Eddie Rochester, le résident le plus mystérieux de Thornfield Estates, qui met un point d'honneur à lui venir en aide. Il est beau, riche, et pas insensible à son charme.
