A refreshingly modern fairy tale and instant New York Times bestseller that Love Hypothesis author Ali Hazelwood hails as "an uplifting, feel-good, romantic read."
After a wild bet, gourmet grilled-cheese sandwich, and cuddle with a baby goat, Alexis Montgomery has had her world turned upside down. The cause: Daniel Grant, a ridiculously hot carpenter who’s ten years younger than her and as casual as they come—the complete opposite of sophisticated city-girl Alexis. And yet their chemistry is undeniable.
While her ultra-wealthy parents want her to carry on the family legacy of world-renowned surgeons, Alexis doesn’t need glory or fame. She’s fine with being a “mere” ER doctor. And every minute she spends with Daniel and the tight-knit town where he lives, she’s discovering just what’s really important. Yet letting their relationship become anything more than a short-term fling would mean turning her back on her family and giving up the opportunity to help thousands of people.
Bringing Daniel into her world is impossible, and yet she can’t just give up the joy she’s found with him either. With so many differences between them, how can Alexis possibly choose between her world and his?
'In this vivid, affecting novel of intertwined destinies and the
enduring power of love against the bleakest odds, Levensohn weaves
a tale saturated with historical accuracy and yet surprisingly
intimate. A Jewish Girl in Paris delivers romance and intrigue to
spare, but the novel's real power lies in its portrayal of how
deeply and sometimes mysteriously we can find ourselves connected
to the past, and to each other.' - Paula Mc Lain, New York Times
bestselling author of The Paris Wife and When the Stars Go Dark
Paris, 1940, a city under German occupation. A young Jewish girl,
Judith, meets a young man, the son of a wealthy banker and Nazi
sympathizer - his family will never approve of the girl he has
fallen in love with. As the Germans impose more and more
restrictions on Jewish Parisians, the couple secretly plan to flee
the country. But before they can make their escape, Judith
disappears . . . Montreal, 1982. Shortly before his death, Lica
Grunberg confesses to his daughter, that she has an older
half-sister, Judith. Lica escaped the Nazis but lost all contact
with his first-born daughter. His daughter promises to find the
sister she never knew. The search languishes for years, until
Jacobina is spurred on by her young friend Beatrice. Soon the two
women discover a dark family secret, stretching over two continents
and six decades, that will change their lives forever . . .
Inspired by true events and set against the backdrop of the Second
World War, Melanie Levensohn's A Jewish Girl in Paris is a powerful
novel about forbidden love, adapted from a translation by Jamie Lee
Searle.

verhaal van Hadassa, ’n jong Joodse meisie wat as slaaf weggevoer is,
maar steeds vashou aan haar geloof in God. Al voel sy verskeur deur
haar liefde vir ’n aantreklike jong edelman, word Hadassa ’n baken van
hoop en lig te midde van die duisternis en verval rondom haar.
’n Eggo in die duisternis vertel die verhaal van Markus, ’n welgestelde
Romeinse edelman. Diep geraak deur Hadassa se opregte geloof, begin hy
wonder of daar nie méér in die lewe is nie. In sy soeke na betekenis en
geloof, word hy gelei deur ’n sagte fluistering uit die verlede wat hom
kan bevry van die duisternis in sy siel.

She's good at achieving her goals but the game just got a whole lot more complicated . . .
College senior Sabrina James has her whole future planned out: graduate from college, kick butt in law school, and land a high-paying job at a cut-throat firm. Her path to escaping her shameful past certainly doesn't include a gorgeous hockey player who believes in love at first sight. One night of sizzling heat and surprising tenderness is all she's willing to give John Tucker, but sometimes, one night is all it takes for your entire life to change.
Tucker believes being a team player is as important as being the star. On the ice, he's fine staying out of the spotlight, but when it comes to becoming a daddy at the age of twenty-two, he refuses to be a bench warmer. It doesn't hurt that the soon-to-be mother of his child is beautiful, whip-smart, and keeps him on his toes. The problem is, Sabrina's heart is locked up tight, and the fiery brunette is too stubborn to accept his help. If he wants a life with the woman of his dreams, he'll have to convince her that some goals can only be made with an assist . . .

1875. Wanneer Kathryn Walsh in die myndorp Calvada aankom, is liefde
die laaste ding waaraan sy dink. Haar welgestelde stiefpa het haar
weggestuur uit Boston om ’n erflating te kom opeis van ’n oom wat sy
nooit geken het nie: ’n klein koerantkantoortjie in die hoofstraat van
’n dorpie vol bordele en kroeë, en ’n skynbaar waardelose myn.
Kathryn besluit om haar oom se koerant weer op die been te bring en
bevind haar kort voor lank midde-in ’n storm tussen twee van Calvada se
magtigste mans. Kathryn is egter vasbeslote om aan te hou sê – en skryf
– waarin sy glo.
Matthias Beck, kroeg- en hotel-eienaar, sien onmiddellik dat die
beeldskone, uitgesproke rooikop net so vasberade soos haar oom is. En
hy weet haar strewe na geregtigheid kan ook háár dood veroorsaak ...
Die aantreklike hotel-eienaar en die eiesinnige juffrou Walsh sien dat
hulle tog vir dieselfde ding baklei: ’n dorp waarop hulle trots kan
wees. Almal wil graag ryk word in die myndorpie, maar dit is ’n liefde
baie kosbaarder as goud wat almal in die dorp uiteindelik sal red.
