  • "Manchmal braucht es zum ganz grossen Glück eine einzige kleine Lüge Gwen Merchant kann nicht klagen: Sie führt eine nicht sehr aufregende, aber harmonische Ehe, hat eine etwas exzentrische, aber treue Freundin, und nach dem frühen Tod der Mutter ist sie im Erwachsenenleben von Katastrophen verschont geblieben. Alles läuft in geregelten Bahnen - bis zu dem Tag, an dem ihr in einer Eisdiele ihr Exfreund Elliot über den Weg läuft. Um den letzten Wunsch seiner sterbenden Mutter zu erfüllen, bittet er Gwen, zum Schein seine Ehefrau zu mimen - ein Wochenende mit Folgen. Und Gwen muss erkennen: Das Herz lässt sich nicht täuschen - erst recht nicht das eigene ... Bridget Asher lebt mit ihrem Ehemann und ihren vier Kindern in Florida. 'Verlieben war nicht abgemacht' ist ihr erster Roman bei Goldmann."
  • "BONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from Bridget Asher's The Provence Cure for the Brokenhearted. What would life be like with the one who got away' From the acclaimed author of My Husband's Sweethearts comes this bighearted, funny, fiercely perceptive tale about a happily married woman and the little white lie that changed everything. For Gwen Merchant, love has always been doled out in little packets'from her father, who lost himself in work after her mother's death, and from her husband, Peter, who's always been respectable and safe. But when an old college boyfriend, the irrepressible Elliot Hull, invites himself back into Gwen's life with a surprising proposition, she suddenly starts questioning everything she's ever expected from love. Elliot, it turns out, is in need of a pretend wife, just for the weekend, in order to fulfill his dying mother's last wish. But as Gwen finds herself drawn into Elliot's quirky, wonderful family'and uncovers a few secrets about her own'a pretend relationship just might turn out to be the most real thing she's ever known."@en
