Die siebzehnjährige Sloane hätte nie gedacht, dass sie nach ihrem Umzug von New York nach Florida so schnell Freunde finden würde – vor allem nicht in der glamourösen Vera und ihrem Zwillingsbruder, dem ernsthaften und stillen Gabe. Durch sie beginnt Sloane, sich ganz allmählich zu öffnen. Und lernt bei ihrer Suche nach einem verschollenen Bild schließlich sogar, wie viel Liebe im Leben und in ihr steckt ...
Devon würde eigentlich nichts an ihrem Leben ändern. Sie ist zufrieden damit, heimlich in ihren besten Freund verliebt zu sein und die Zukunft zu ignorieren. Aber das Leben macht nicht mit. Erst zieht ihr Cousin Foster, ein unverbesserlicher Sonderling mit einem überraschenden Talent für Football, bei ihnen ein. Dann taucht der unausstehliche, überhebliche und unerträglich attraktive Ezra auf. Devon hätte nie erwartet, dass Foster der Bruder wird, den sie nie haben wollte; oder dass Ezra ihre Lieblingsschriftstellerin Jane Austen liest, selbst wenn er Stolz und Vorurteil zunächst für die Fortsetzung von Verstand und Gefühl gehalten hat.

A baker’s apprentice reluctantly embarks on an adventure full of magic, new friendships, and a prince in distress in this deliciously romantic young adult fantasy. It’s not all sugar and spice at Basil’s Bakery, where seventeen-year-old Aurelie is an overworked, underappreciated apprentice. Still, the job offers stability, which no-nonsense Aurelie values highly, so she keeps her head down and doesn’t dare to dream big—until a stranger walks in and hands her a set of Seeking stones. In a country where Seeking was old-fashioned even before magic went out of style, it’s a rare skill, but Aurelie has it. The stranger, who turns out to be a remarkably bothersome bounty hunter named Iliana, asks for Aurelie’s help rescuing someone from the dangerous Underwood—which sounds suspiciously like an adventure. When the someone turns out to be Prince Hapless, the charming-but-aptly-named prince, Aurelie’s careful life is upended. Suddenly, she finds herself on a quest filled with magic portals, a troll older than many trees (and a few rocks), and dangerous palace intrigue. Even more dangerous are the feelings she’s starting to have for Hapless. The more time Aurelie spends with him, the less she can stand the thought of going back to her solitary but dependable life at the bakery. Must she choose between losing her apprenticeship—or her heart?
