      It's their twenty-year school reunion but the Plunkett sisters have their own reasons for not wanting to attend ... Caroline, now a successful knitwear designer, spends her time flying between her business in England and her lover in Italy. As far as she's concerned, her school days, and what happened to her the year she left, should stay in the past. Eleanor, meanwhile, is unrecognisable from the fun-loving girl she was in school. With a son who is barely speaking to her, and a husband keeping a secret from her, revisiting the past is the last thing on her mind. But when an unexpected letter arrives for Caroline in the weeks before the reunion, memories are stirred. Will the sisters find the courage to return to the town where they grew up and face what they've been running from all these years? The Reunion is a moving story about secrets, sisters and finding a way to open your heart.

      Lizzie O'Grady is about to change her life. After one too many New Year's spent watching bad television, and one too many dull outings with dependable fiance Tom, she decides to chuck it all in, throw her backpack into her little Fiesta, and set off into the Wild West - of Ireland, that is - on the road trip of a lifetime. Along the way she manages to meet a cast of interesting characters, live in a caravan, accidentally get a new job, and lose the boring fiance. But, as is often the way in life, things are not as they should be. Pitching up in the little seaside town of Merway, she doesn't intend to stay long, but the down-at-heel charm of the place and the warmth of the locals draw her in. As winter turns to summer, Lizzie begins to realise that the past cannot be shrugged off like an old winter coat, and that here, too, she must make difficult choices.

      Hannah è una vera maga in cucina: torte, pasticcini e dessert prelibati non hanno segreti per lei. Sin da bambina, il suo sogno è sempre stato quello di aprire un negozio dove vendere gustose e coloratissime cupcake. E finalmente sta per realizzarlo: il Cupcake Club sarà una novità assoluta per la tranquilla cittadina irlandese di Clongarvin, e lei è pronta a lavorare sodo perché sia un successo. Ma proprio il giorno prima dell’inaugurazione, la vita di Hannah viene sconvolta: il suo fidanzato, Patrick, le confessa di essere innamorato di un’altra e va via di casa. All’improvviso, il coronamento di un sogno sembra coincidere con il peggiore degli incubi. Hannah non può fare altro che rifugiarsi nel suo dolce mondo di pan di spagna appena sfornato, glasse al caffè, vaniglia, gocce di cioccolato e nocciole tostate. E dal bancone del suo negozio osserva la vita degli abitanti di Clongarvin, che continua a scorrere tra nuovi amori, pettegolezzi e colpi di scena. Ma presto Hannah scoprirà che anche per lei il destino ha in serbo una dolcissima sorpresa…
