***
An older woman. A younger man. A temptation impossible to resist…
Wife, mother, friend – Eve Armanton is all of these things. But who is she really? Now her son has left home, Eve no longer recognises the middle-aged woman staring back at her each morning – or the cold, loveless marriage she finds herself left in.
A chance meeting with Micajah Burnett, the son of an old school friend, stirs Eve in ways she hasn’t felt in years. Micajah offers youth, desire and freedom – and Eve takes the dangerous and liberating step into a passionate affair. Eve is about to discover who she was, who she is and who she can be. Only one thing is certain – nothing will ever be the same again…
A sweeping and emotionally charged story of forbidden love and self-discovery, perfect for fans of Susan Lewis, Liane Moriarty and Diane Chamberlain.
Critics Review

Praise for A Stolen Summer:
‘It is a ravishing love story, hot-blooded, poignant, often dark, filled with yearning, sharply funny, marvellously observed… I wished it would go on and on and never stop.’ Joanna Lumley
‘Lovely and lyrical. An erotic adventure that will have readers turning the pages well into the night.’ Candace Bushnell
‘At last. A sexy and serious novel that deals with that persistent prejudice – love between an "older woman" and a younger man. Sensational’ Rachel Johnson
‘Absolutely terrific: powerful, beautifully paced, controlled and assured.’ Elizabeth Buchan
‘Intriguing, Sexy and Honest’ Joanna Briscoe
'A delicious novel – elegant, poignant, erotic.’ Kate Beaufoy
‘Allegra Huston is a fluid, intelligent storyteller, a writer of beautiful, sexy prose. I love her frankly gleeful portrayal of a woman following her own desires and instincts, wherever they lead, to unexpected and unplanned adventures. Say My Name is the Fear of Flying for the 21st century.’ Kate Christensen, author of The Great Man and Trouble
‘Say My Name is a dazzling debut about a highly-charged and very sensual affair. Skilfully crafted, original and beautifully written, it is an engaging and erotic read. Loved it!’ Santa Montefiore
‘Beguilingly sexy and seriously smart all at once! How unusual, how delightful, how fun!’ Lara Santoro, author of Mercy and The Boy
‘Something to heat up your holiday’ The Daily Express
