Ein CEO zum Verlieben. Ein Geheimnis, das alles zerstören könnte. Und ich – seine Assistentin, die ihn kein zweites Mal verlieren darf. Sechs Jahre nach unserer verbotenen Nacht arbeite ich noch immer an Dante Callahans Seite – kühl, perfekt, unantastbar. Doch unter dem maßgeschneiderten Anzug lauert ein Mann, der mich mit jedem Blick an den Rand des Abgrunds treibt. Dante ist mein Boss, mein größter Fehler … und meine größte Versuchung.

Here are tales of love and war, modesty and frivolity, laughter and tears. Louisa May Alcott wrote many, many short stories. This collection shares but 6/7 of them. (Summary by Carolyn Frances)

When frail, sickly Rose Campbell is left an orphan following the death of her father, she moves with her eccentric bachelor uncle to a place she will come to know as “Aunt Hill”. There, she meets her six aunts, each of whom has conflicting ideas on how to raise their little niece and her seven rowdy boy cousins. Through Uncle Alec’s guidance, Rose begins a new milestone and acquires valuable lessons about health, education, and character building. As Rose begins to bloom with health and vitality, she finds new happiness and learns the importance of family love that “ties all bonds”. ...

A book of short stories by Louisa May Alcott, author of Little Women and Eight Cousins. It includes Two Little Travellers, a story about two very different little girls, Lunch, a story of two women who resolve to stop the schoolboys from eating unhealthy lunches, How They Camped Out, a story of a sleighing party gone wrong, and 10 more bits and pieces from Aunt Jo's Scrap-Bag. The series is not about any characters from the Little Women books - doubtless the publisher relied on the popularity of that series to sell this one. Aunt Jo's Scrap-Bag Shawl-Straps: A Second Series of Aunt Jo's ...

A collection of short stories by Louisa May Alcott that were written with the intent to entertain the whole family and to fill children's heads with wonder and delight. (Summary by Jennifer Stearns)

All but three of these stories were told to my little niece during our quiet hour before bedtime. They became such favorites with her and her friends that I wrote them down in several small blue books, and called them LULU'S LIBRARY. Having nothing else to offer this year, I have collected them in one volume as a Christmas gift to my boys and girls from their old friend AUNT JO. - Summary by Louisa May Alcott

Unlike the other volumes in this series, which are books of childrens' stories, Shawl-Straps is a novel. It is the story of Amanda, Matilda, and Lavinia, three sisters who are travelling in Europe. The book is based on Louisa May Alcott's own travels with her sister. She states in the preface: "There is a sort of fate about writing books of travel which it is impossible to escape. It is vain to declare that no inducement will bribe one to do it, that there is nothing new to tell, and that nobody wants to read the worn-out story: sooner or later the deed is done, and not till the book is safely...
