Teddy Andersen doesn’t have a plan. She’s never needed one before. She’s always been more of a go-with-the-flow type of girl, but for some reason, the flow doesn’t seem to be going her way this time. Her favorite vintage suede jacket has a hole in it, her sewing machine is broken, and her best friend just got engaged. Suddenly, everything feels like it’s starting to change. Teddy is used to being a leader, but now she feels like she’s getting left behind, wondering if life in the small town she loves is enough for her anymore. Gus Ryder has a lot on his plate. He doesn’t know what’s harder: taking care of his family’s 8,000 acre ranch, or parenting his spunky six-year-old daughter, who is staying with him for the summer. Gus has always been the dependable one, but when his workload starts to overwhelm him, he has to admit that he can’t manage everything on his own. He needs help. His little sister’s best friend, the woman he can’t stand, is not who he had in mind. But when no one else can step in, Teddy’s the only option he’s got. Teddy decides to use the summer to try and figure out what she wants out of life. Gus, on the other hand, starts to worry that he’ll never find what he needs. Tempers flare, tension builds, and for the first time ever, Gus and Teddy start to see each other in a different light. As new feelings start to simmer below the surface, they must decide whether they should act on them. Can they keep things cool? Or will both of them get burned?

Emily Allen, a librarian on Martha’s Vineyard, has always dreamed of a life of travel and adventure. So when her favorite author, Siobhan Riordan, offers her a job in the Emerald Isle, Emily jumps at the opportunity. After all, Siobhan’s novels got Em through some of the darkest days of her existence. Helping Siobhan write the final book in her acclaimed series—after a ten-year hiatus due to a scorching case of writer’s block—is a dream come true for Emily. If only she didn’t have to deal with Siobhan’s son, Kieran Murphy. He manages Siobhan’s bookstore, and the grouchy bookworm clearly doesn’t want Em around. Emily persists, and spending her days bantering with the annoyingly handsome mercurial Irishman only makes her fall more deeply in love with the new life she’s built – and for the man who seems to soften toward her with every quip she throws at him. But when she discovers the reason for Kieran’s initial resistance, Em finds herself torn between helping Siobhan find closure with her series and her now undeniable feelings for Kier. As Siobhan’s novel progresses, Emily will have to decide if she’s truly ready to turn a new page and figure out what lies in the next chapter.

Tras el formidable éxito de Taxi, considerada por la crítica como una de las mejores novelas españolas del año 2017, Carlos Zanón sigue ensanchando los horizontes de su universo imaginativo y nos sorprende de nuevo con una historia descarnada sobre tres personajes atrapados entre los hilos afectivos que les impiden llegar a ser ellos mismos. Sin revelar su identidad, tres músicos talentosos y de cierto éxito -una pareja y su mejor amigo- se embarcan en una gira estival por campings y locales de la costa mediterránea versionando canciones sólo de 1985. A bordo de una impecable Camper California, conducida por un chófer al que apodan vanidosamente Polidori, la banda -compuesta por Jim, Eileen y Cowboy- se lanza a tocar y correr, gozar y sufrir, entre composiciones pop, huesos fracturados y emociones difíciles de manejar. Y a medida que se acercan al final de su recorrido, frente a las costas de Cádiz, los protagonistas se enfrentan a la disyuntiva de quemarse o seguir, pero ya convertidos en otros, sin vuelta atrás.
