*Wattys 2018 Shortlist * Wenn wir aufeinandertreffen, sprühen keine Funken. Wenn wir aufeinandertreffen, gehen wir in Flammen auf. Sein Name lautete Ches. Das war alles, was ich wusste. Keine Vergangenheit und keine Identität. Alles an ihm strahlte Gefahr aus, doch ich schaffte es einfach nicht, mich von ihm fernzuhalten. Ich war Metall und er der Magnet, welcher mich anzog. Doch nicht nur mich zog er an; auch Dunkelheit und Ärger und Geheimnisse begleiteten ihn, wie Motten das Licht. Ich war vielleicht gebrochen, aber wenn er mich für schwach hielt, machte er einen Fehler. Ich würde jedes seiner Geheimnisse lüften. Und wenn ich brennen musste, um seine Dunkelheit zu vertreiben, würde ich jede Sekunde im Feuer genießen.

Nachfolger zu "Reichst du mir deine Hand". Kann unabhängig vom ersten Band gelesen werden, aber kann auch Spoiler beinhalten. In sich abgeschlossen. „Wovon ich spreche?", schrie ich hysterisch und lachte laut und falsch. „Hattest du nicht mal gesagt, du stellst keine überflüssigen Fragen?" Hugh war zu ruhig und das brachte mich nur noch mehr zur Weißglut. „Warum sollte ich es dir jetzt erklären? Ich habe es drei Mal versucht und jedes Mal hast du abgeblockt. Ich habe keine Lust mehr darauf!" „Liv. Rede", forderte mich Hugh auf. Er griff nach meinen Oberarmen und drückte fest aber nicht schmerzhaft zu. „Ich würde nie fremdgehen! Wenn du mir mal eine Minute zugehört hättest, hätten wir uns die letzten Tage sparen können!" In mein Geschrei mischten sich die ersten Schluchzer. Wuttränen liefen mir über die Wangen. „Alle sagen immer, dass du objektiv und rational eine Situation beurteilst. Aber wo war dein Urteilsvermögen in deiner Kanzlei? Und warum tut es so verdammt weh, wenn du mich mit diesem kalten Blick ansiehst?" Meine Stimme brach. „Warum, Hugh?" Wie eine Urlaubsbekanntschaft und Heldentat das Leben verändern, erfährt die 27 jährige Liv , als sie für ein Klassentreffen nach Fuerteventura reist und dort durch Zufall den schweigsamen Hugh kennenlernt. Immer wieder kreuzen sich ihre Wege und jedes Mal fragt sie sich, was der unbekannte Mann hinter seiner Maske, die sein Gesicht bildet, versteckt. Als dann das eine zum anderen führt und Liv am nächsten Morgen zurückreist, glaubt sie, Hugh und seine Freunde nie wieder zu sehen. Doch manchmal ist die Welt kleiner, als man denkt. Und das Wiedersehen umso komplizierter. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Das wundervolle Cover ist von kathiiinathiiie. Die Rechte der Geschichte liegen alle bei mir.

„Wenn du dich hier wohlfühlst, warum zum Henker willst du dann kündigen?" „Ich will nicht, ich muss. Ich werde alles, was mich umgibt mit mir runterreißen. Das kann ich dir und deiner Firma nicht antun." „Dumme Ausreden. Nenn mir einen Grund, warum ich dir nicht helfen sollte? Warum ich dir nicht meine Hand reichen sollte?" „Ich würde das Entsetzen in deinem Blick nicht ertragen", flüsterte ich. Und wieder liefen mir die Tränen über die Wangen. Nachdem April jahrelang von Job zu Job gesprungen ist, will sie nun eine feste Anstellung finden. Dass ausgerechnet sie die Stelle als Adam Blacks persönliche Assistentin bekommt, hätte sie nie erwartet, denn viel kann sie nicht vorzeigen. Zu Beginn scheint es nicht schlecht zu laufen, aber als April merkt, dass sie ihrem Chef viel zu nahe kommt und es mehrere gute Gründe gibt, warum sie das nicht tun sollte, nehmen die Probleme erst ihren Anfang. Denn wie soll sie die Hand eines anderen ergreifen, wenn sie Angst davor hat, Menschen an sich heran zu lassen? Und wie soll sie den Menschen, denen sie ihr Vertrauen geschenkt hat, erklären, dass es jemanden gibt, der sie tot sehen möchte? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Das wundervolle Cover ist von kathiiinathiiie.
