What to expect
‘[A] sweet and sexy romance… the perfect book to bring to the beach’ Laurie Gilmore, #1 New York Times bestseller
***
In the sun-soaked street of Athens, Will might find that his love story might not be the one he’s expecting…
Three years ago, Will turned down Ollie’s proposal and has regretted it ever since. Now, Ollie is marrying someone else in Greece, the very place they once dreamed of saying “I do”, and Will is invited. With only twenty-five days until the wedding, is it finally time for Will to tell Ollie he made a mistake?
But a chance encounter with his childhood friend Sam, who just happens to be impossibly handsome, complicates everything.
Against the stunning backdrop of ancient ruins and vibrant nightlife, Will must confront his past, his desires, and the true meaning of love.
