Czech-born, Germany-based author Roxann Hill's novel Love is Pink! has been translated into English and is due for release in December 2014. The summary says: "Michelle has everything: good looks, a great job, a fancy apartment, and cash to burn. She also has a boyfriend, Valentin - her dream man. There's just one tiny snag: his wife. Valentin promised Michelle that as soon as his children were grown, he would leave his marriage to be with her. But when the time comes - and to no one's surprise but her own - Valentin chooses his wealthy wife, leaving Michelle stranded in the French Alps. Michelle finds herself lost and without a way back to Berlin. Out of options, Michelle hitches a ride in a rickety pink Citroen with the attractive but ostensibly penniless David and his precocious daughter, Emma. Over the course of their three-day trip, Michelle comes face-to-face with the life she's created. With David and Emma offering a fresh perspective, Michelle redefines what love is, and wonders whether it might truly be pink."
