Delila má na háku všechny a všechno. Je fotografka, žije v New Yorku, postel nemá nikdy prázdnou a zoufalé vzpomínky na dětství dávno pohřbila. Jenom těch zakázek by snad mohlo být víc. Do zatraceného Bright Falls se vrátí jenom proto, aby nafotila svatbu své nevlastní sestry, a pak adié. Tedy… To si myslela do chvíle, než blíže poznala Claire. Claire je jedna z nejlepších kamarádek Deliliny sestry. Zůstala sama na výchovu dcery, potýká se s nespolehlivým bývalým, vlastní knihkupectví a vede dost jednotvárný život, v němž Delila působí jako zjevení s katastrofickým potenciálem. Když je okolnosti během mnoha předsvatebních akcí svedou dohromady, Claire si už není jistá, zda má sílu odolat Delilinu kouzlu. A co hůř, začíná si myslet, že ani odolat nechce… Delila Greenová má všechny na háku je romantický příběh o druhých setkáních a o tom, jak se i seberozdílnější životy někdy můžou protnout v tom nejméně pravděpodobném momentě.

Pro Astrid Parkerovou je jakékoliv selhání nepřípustné. Před rokem se rozešla se snoubencem a od té doby se soustředí na svou kariéru. Když dostane nabídku, aby se jakožto interiérová designérka ujala renovací penzionu Everwood, okamžitě po ní skočí. A nejen proto, že se má tenhle projekt vysílat v televizi jako součást populárního pořadu. Pro Astrid je Everwood ideální rozptýlení od zpackaných vztahů i příležitost, jak si konečně vydobýt uznání své panovačné matky. Jenže Astrid vůbec nepočítala s Jordan Everwoodovou, vnučkou majitelky penzionu a truhlářkou, která má mít společně s Astrid renovaci na starosti. Jordan nesouhlasí s žádným pokusem o modernizaci, který Astrid navrhne. Jordan je totiž za každou cenu odhodlaná udržet historii své rodiny co nejvíc nedotčenou, zvlášť když je její vlastní osobní život v troskách. A když Jordanino odhodlání přeroste v úplně malinkou sabotáž, která Astrid zvedne mandle, produkce pořadu Astrid a Jordan požádá, aby se v zájmu zábavy pro diváky do své vzájemné rivality trochu opřely. To by se ovšem ona rivalita nesměla postupně měnit v něco úplně jiného. V možnosti, kvůli kterým se Astrid bude muset rozhodnout, co pro ni znamená úspěch: život a kariéru, které se od ní očekávají… nebo život, jaký doopravdy chce?

"A clever and steamy queer romantic comedy about taking chances and accepting love-with all its complications-by debut author Ashley Herring Blake. Delilah Green swore she would never go back to Bright Falls-nothing is there for her but memories of a lonely childhood where she was little more than a burden to her cold and distant stepfamily.

When Delilah's estranged stepsister, Astrid, pressures her into photographing her wedding with a guilt trip and a five-figure check, Delilah finds herself back in the godforsaken town that she used to call home. She plans to breeze in and out, butthen she sees Claire Sutherland, one of Astrid's stuck-up besties, and decides that maybe there's some fun (and a little retribution) to be had in Bright Falls, after all. Having raised her eleven-year-old daughter mostly on her own while dealing with herunreliable ex and running a bookstore, Claire Sutherland depends upon a life without surprises.
