      "When her dreams of young love were cruelly shattered, Nerissa Morgan found it hard to move on. Now, at forty-three, everyone around her is enjoying life while she's just going through the motions. With her boss retiring and rumours of a new doctor coming in to take over the practice she manages, change is coming, whether she's ready for it or not. Following the death of his beloved wife, Tom Nelson buried himself in work at his busy inner-London GP practice. When his teenage children find themselves in trouble at school, he realises he's completely lost touch with them. Desperate to reconnect before it's too late, he whisks his family away to the pretty seaside village of Mermaids Point determined to make a fresh start. But all is not as idyllic as it seems. With his predecessor reluctant to let go of the reins and the children as distant as ever, the last thing Tom needs is an undeniable attraction to the woman he unexpectedly finds himself sharing a roof with..."--Provided by publisher

      Bestselling author Alex Nelson is slowly coming apart at the seams after a failed marriage and an abrupt change in career leave him at a crossroads in life. When an unexpected opportunity arises to escape to the idyllic village of Mermaids Point, he's hot on the heels of his brother, Tom, who has recently moved there. Buying a rundown bookshop might be just his latest harebrained scheme, but Alex has never been one to do things by halves. After spending her early years caring for her mother, Ivy Fisher is finally ready to start living her own life. But when the impossibly charming, impossibly good-looking Alex Nelson swoops in and snatches her dream out from under her nose, it really is the last straw. Forced by circumstances to spend more time with him, Ivy finally gets a peek of the real man beneath the confident exterior, and she likes what she sees. But just when things are starting to come together for them, Ivy is reminded why men can never be trusted. Is Alex who he says he is, or is he using Mermaids Point as nothing more than research fodder for his next bestseller?

      One Shrink's Sensible Advice for Finding a Lasting Relationship

      From the New York Times bestselling authors of F*ck Feelings, this irreverent roadmap offers essential guidance for those disillusioned by the pursuit of true love, aiming for a real, lasting relationship. Many believe romantic partnerships are challenging due to complex emotions, but the authors argue that the root of the problem lies in our tendency to choose partners based on feelings like love, excitement, and attraction. Instead of chasing the elusive notion of true love, Dr. Michael Bennett and his daughter Sarah provide practical criteria for identifying good partnerships that can foster genuine love, even when the initial romance fades. They encourage readers to let go of preconceived notions about ideal partners and evaluate the pros and cons of eight common traits: charisma, beauty, chemistry, communication, sense of humor, family stability, intelligence, and wealth. The Bennetts suggest that focusing on mutual attraction, respect, shared interests, and goals will yield better results, whether meeting someone at a bar, online, or through a friend. With quizzes, case studies from Dr. Bennett’s practice, and humorous flow charts, this book is filled with advice to help you navigate the pitfalls of relationships and find a meaningful connection.
