American Star Mendoza is living in her dream location, Edinburgh, a
place she discovered in British novels while growing up. Employed
at a trendy city centre coffee shop, quirky, pink-haired Star
spends her days fantasising about a handsome businessman she serves
daily. He's totally out of her league but a girl can dream, right?
Fin Hunter is exhausted from striving for his father's elusive love
and approval, and of following a life path of his family's making.
When things go drastically wrong Fin decides it's time to stand on
his own two feet and follow his own dream. Star is bereft when her
handsome stranger stops coming to her coffee shop, but a chance
encounter in the most unlikely of places leaves her wondering if
her fantasy could now become a reality? Can opposites attract over
their love of a city and music or is their story simply doomed to
fail? Previously Published as 'Star Attraction' Praise for Lisa

Don't just see the sights-get to know the people. Morocco is a joy
to the senses. Graced with spectacular scenery, the country's rich
history is carved into its architecture and baked into its cuisine.
Its marketplaces are filled with tantalizing scents and colorful
sights, and the call of the muezzin seems to draw people from every
corner of the globe. In 1956 Morocco gained independence from
French colonial rule and was jolted into the 20th century. Today it
is a country in transition-a unique blend of Arab, African, and
European ways of life. The teeming cities have an air of
sophistication and joie de vivre, but life in rural areas has
stayed much the same. And while the cities are highly Westernized,
tradition and religion still play a vital role in the everyday life
of most people. Culture Smart! Morocco describes the life of
Moroccans today, as well as the key customs and traditions that
punctuate daily life. It examines the impact of religious beliefs
and history on their lives, and provides insight into the values
that people hold dear, as well as recent social and political
developments. Tips on communicating, socializing, and on navigating
the unfamiliar situations that visitors are likely to encounter
ensure that they get the very best out of their time in this
welcoming yet complex land. Have a richer and more meaningful
experience abroad through a better understanding of the local
culture. Chapters on history, values, attitudes, and traditions
will help you to better understand your hosts, while tips on
etiquette and communicating will help you to navigate unfamiliar
situations and avoid faux pas.

travel guide on the market. You can take this handy, pocket-sized
book out with you anywhere, any time. Whether you plan to catch a
