Mother-of-three Emelie is in a tough spot in life. Since the father of her children moved out, she has struggled to make ends meet. Budgets are tight, work is boring and she's reluctant to start dating again. She's just not ready. When things seem at their darkest, she receives an unexpected letter - and the content will change her life forever. Emelie has inherited a house on the island of Sardinön. And the house is chock-a-block full of Christmas decorations! Her children thrive in their new life on the island and want to stay so it's not long before the move to the Island is a done-deal. All that's left is to figure out the answers to two important questions: first and foremost, what's the deal with Andreas, the good-looking guy who inherited the guest house on the plot? And second, what on earth is she going to do with all the Christmas stuff? Annika and Jessika Devert are sisters from Gothenburg, Sweden. They've written several children's books together. The feel-good novel "Home for Christmas" is their first book for the adult audience.
On the island of Sardinön, Easter is fast approaching but Emelie still has some difficult questions on her mind. Should she take the job at the community centre? If her new partner Andreas has a child with a lesbian couple, and he moves in with Emelie – then she’ll have a baby in the house. Does she want that? And her finances are a constant worry, but it seems that the vase she’s been left by Aunt Astrid is worth a bit of money and perhaps that will improve her situation. But when the vase disappears, Emelie is dismayed and doesn’t know what to think. Could her neighbour Birgitta have stolen it? Or Kjell the restaurant owner? Instead of thinking about the future, Emilie plans an Easter party for the islanders, with a talent show and a festive buffet. On Easter Saturday they take a walk to the lighthouse on the cliff, where an unexpected surprise awaits her... "Home for Easter" is the cosy successor to the Devert sisters’ popular Christmas romance "Home for Christmas". Perfect for fans of Holly Martin, Poppy Dolan and Cathy Bramley. Annika and Jessika Devert are sisters from Gothenburg, Sweden. They've written several children's books together. The feel-good novel "Home for Christmas" is their first book for the adult audience.

L’obscurité est leur refuge. Le danger les réunit. Heaven pensait que Bolt était mort. Pourtant, alors qu’elle se reconstruit après dix années d’enfer, il réapparaît. Elle l’aime toujours, mais lui veut lui faire payer sa trahison : à cause d’elle, il est devenu un monstre, un réprouvé qui n’a eu d’autre choix que de devenir un tueur. Et désormais, c’est elle, sa cible. Le désir qui les a rassemblés suffira-t-il à la sauver ? *** – Tu sais, j’ai été élevée par un militaire, reprend Heaven. Je lâche un petit rire sans même m’en rendre compte. Elle me regarde avec surprise, et je peux la comprendre, ça ne me ressemble pas de faire ça. Je me ressaisis rapidement. – Ce n’est pas un secret, dis-je en vitesse pour expliquer ma réaction. Elle me fixe, probablement sous le choc car je viens de faire une phrase complète pour la première fois devant elle. Elle sourit un instant avant de reprendre son sérieux. – Je suis contente de constater que tu écoutes et que tu sais parler, mais laisse-moi finir avant de l’ouvrir, me répond-elle du tac au tac. Je sens que je vais en avoir pour un moment, alors je m’installe confortablement. Je me penche pour mettre mes avant-bras sur mes cuisses et je regarde les canards se jeter sur les bouts de pain lancés par des gosses non loin de nous. – Je disais donc, j’ai toujours vécu dans des bases militaires et ce n’est pas le top pour se faire des amis ou rencontrer un garçon. Ce qui fait que je ne connais pas certaines choses de la vie que des filles de mon âge ont déjà pu expérimenter. Je tourne la tête vers elle, me demandant où elle souhaite en venir. – Même si je me considère comme une fille intelligente, il y a des domaines où je suis totalement ignorante et maintenant que j’évolue dans le monde réel, je me sens vraiment arriérée. Quand ses yeux croisent les miens, je la vois rougir et c’est elle qui semble mal à l’aise à présent. – Arrête de me regarder comme ça, sinon je ne vais pas réussir à le dire ! bougonne-t-elle. Je me tourne de nouveau vers les canards en me demandant pourquoi elle imagine que sa virginité est un secret. Elle n’a que 16 ans, vient d’une famille un peu coincée et a toujours vécu dans des bases militaires, ça me paraît assez évident. – Je n’ai jamais embrassé personne, finit-elle par lâcher en vitesse. Ah. C’est pire que ce que je pensais. – Ce n’était pas important jusqu’à maintenant, mais les choses ont changé… Je garde le regard au loin, en attendant la suite, mais rien ne se passe. Elle reste muette pendant plusieurs minutes. – Apprends-moi, lâche-t-elle. Dark Soldier, de Jessika Kostigan, premiers chapitres du roman
