The third spicy, swoon-worthy rom-com from Amy Lea, author of Set on You and Exes and O's.

In a last ditch attempt to rescue her brand from the brink of irrelevance, fashion influencer Melanie Karlsen finds herself in a rural fishing village on the east coast of Canada. The only thing scarier than nature itself? Burly fisherman Evan Whaler - who single-handedly disproves the theory that canadians are 'nice'.

After a boating incident lands Evan in the hospital, Mel is mistaken for his fiancee by his welcoming yet quirky family. And, in exchange for Evan's help with her social media content, Mel agrees to fake their engagement for just one week.

But reeling in their budding feelings for each other proves more difficult than expected.

Is Mel willing to sacrifice her picture-perfect life in the city for a chance at true love in the wild?

Daar is mense wie se lewens van die begin af anders verloop. Sulke mense se liefde lê nie op die gewone plekke en paaie nie, maar juis daar waar min ooit die moed sal hê om hul toekoms te gaan haal.

Dan red die Namavrou Letgoed haar uit ’n sandstorm en leer haar die geheime van Die Poort, wat tydens die heuningmaan ’n magiese plek word. Hier maak tyd soms ’n deur agtertoe oop …

Twa die Tydloper is ’n aangrypende roman oor een mens se groei wat lesers sal meevoer en met nuwe oë na die wêreld om hulle sal laat kyk.

In 2012 verdwyn Binnelanders se geliefde Elise Kruger sonder waarskuwing van kykers se televisieskerms af.

Hier het sy besef dat sy haar rol en haar lewe soos sy dit ken, kwyt is.

Lindie Stander: Agter my glimlag is die eerlike ervaring van dit wat kykers nie op skerm sien nie: die verpletterende verlies van haar pa, haar worsteling met dwelmmisbruik en rehabilitasie, ’n lewe met depressie en ’n gewonde vrou se genadelose soeke na ’n liefde wat kan heelmaak.

In haar bekende, deernisvolle stem vertel Lindie haar hartverskeurende, maar hoopvolle verhaal soos net sy kan: sonder skroom en met ’n goeie skeut humor.
