The couple had agreed to settle on the island where the top secret lab was to be built. However, the situation gets out of hand, and as she tries to shed light on the past, Ornella becomes the target of an evil conspiracy. In this captivating novel, the author subtly and intelligently summons current events that are at the heart of a turbulent plot where viruses, conspiracy and love form an explosive cocktail.		The author: “En lisant les dix pages test, j'ai tout de suite aimé le style d'Angela : elle a parfaitement adhéré au rythme du roman, au ton et à l'ambiance, au point que je lui ai confié sans hésiter la traduction de mon deuxième roman et lui proposerai, en toute confiance, la traduction du suivant. ” “When I read the first ten test pages, I immediately liked Angela's style: she matched the rhythm, tone and mood of the novel perfectly and as a result I didn't hesitate in entrusting her with the translation of my second novel. And I will also ask her in complete confidence to translate the next one.” One of the first readers of the English translation said: “I don't normally read thrillers but wow you are quite right it is a real page turner and I got more and more into it. Quite along the lines of James Bond in places with incredible events happening in rapid succession - all somewhat unlikely but making for a good read. I liked the character portrayal of Pierre and the cool way he handled things in a crisis - quite a player. There is an impressive amount of information on viruses, which of course is very topical and must have taken quite a lot of intensive research. Certainly a book for our times.”

Each story is a stand-alone and can be read independently. This particular love story starts with a text message not intended for the recipient ... and well, I must admit, it does get a bit steamy towards the end! My challenge this time was its setting in Leeds, using British vocabulary and spelling and some choice Yorkshire expressions!		“It was wonderful working with Angela. Great insight, great advice, and most of all, great work. We discussed spellings (US or UK?), and idioms, and lingos. I love that one of my characters has the Yorkshire accent, and it's so real. I loved rereading my book in English, it's like discovering my story all over again. Thank you so much, Angela. :-) ” - Jo Ann von Haff “I'm really impressed with your translation of this book, Angela! It's an engaging plot with a lot of interesting characters, and you did a great job capturing the tender family scenes and the steamier parts. Awesome translation and I'm interested in reading the other volumes from this author!” - Corinne McKay “I really enjoyed Angela Fairbank's English translation of Jo Ann von Haff's erotic novel; the plot begins with a mis-sent text message, and really captures both the tender moments between Flora (the main character) and the other people in her life, and her budding romance with C, the author of the mis-sent message. This book is an engaging read, highly recommended!”

Happy Road Trip to You by Sophie Rouzier is Romantic Comedy Chick Lit with a travel theme. Who's never wanted to to receive a trip as a birthday present? If we were to ask French people what their dream destination for such a gift would be, without hesitating, they'd answer, the U.S.A. With one exception: Louis. This strapping young man with the vocabulary of a young lord of the manor, but a geek on the edges, who prefers numbers and his apartment to his fellow humans, is certainly happy about the trip, but manages to restrain his eagerness. His girlfriend, Chantal, of Nepalese origin, is organized yet shy, and always hides in the shadows. She thought she'd make him happy by planning a vacation. The highlights? Silicon Valley, then San Diego, and a very special event: Comic-Con. If every religious believer has their place of pilgrimage, then superhero fans also have theirs. It's here at Comic-Con where the stars of action movies and series meet their costumed fans from all over the world. Well, that was the plan anyway. Unfortunately, there was a tiny mistake with the reservations. Right Chantal? Forced to change plans, our lovebirds end up visiting all the symbolic places of the American West, while at the same time find themselves far outside their comfort zone. Due to some unexpected and surprising encounters, our heroes will discover a whole new section of American culture, and in so doing, will break some clichés and confirm many others. Two things are certain: 1) during this trip Chantal and Louis will make good use of their superhero costumes, and 2) they'll never ever go on a road trip together again. The U.S.A. won't want them back either! Too much adventure kills the sense of adventure.
Armance by Morgane Pinon is a Historical Romance. An abandoned mansion. Secrets behind a mirror. A tiny room that hasn't been opened for nearly 150 years... Sequestered behind a looking glass, a hidden closet contains the diary of Armance de Bellieu, a nineteenth century countess, who poured her soul into her writing never imagining for a moment it might be read one day. After 150 years of collecting dust, its yellowing pages are revealed to Florian Burnet, the new owner of this ancient manse. The young man will learn the hard way that the truth about this woman's past has been lost among the twists and turns of history. “Discover the coast of Brittany through this contemporary and historical romance.” “A linguistic and culinary journey.”
Heartquake by Sophie Rouzier is another travel-themed Romantic Comedy chick lit novel and the second installment of her story about Chantal. This time she's in Nepal.

She was born in Nepal and was adopted by a nice couple of Alsatians. She hasn't seen her twin sister since the orphanage. They were separated at age two. One day, however, she sees her on TV helping victims of the Nepalese earthquake. What an electric shock! Against all expectations, Chantal decides to fly to her country of origin and look for her. She ditches Louis, her lover, and her tidy life, and escapes her comfort zone. With Chantal, forget blueberry pie and taste momos, travel to Kathmandu and Pokhara, and hike the Annapurna mountain range without suffering from altitude sickness. This trip will wake her up and she'll surprise you.
