What to expect
‘Fun and sexy – a perfect beach read’ THE SUN
‘Brimming full of joy and sunshine’ JULES WAKE
Previously published as a Summer Scandal
As the mercury rises, so does their chemistry…
When Violet inherits a crumbling Victorian pier in the quirky seaside town of Swallow Beach, she sees more than peeling paint – she sees potential. Her vision? An adults-only boardwalk of boutique shops, artisan offerings and second chances.
Not everyone is thrilled with Violet’s bold plans, but she finds an unexpected ally in Calvin: gorgeous, mysterious and surprisingly handy. He’s got secrets he’s not sharing – and looks at Violet like he’s got nothing to lose.
As sparks fly and passions ignite, Violet must navigate small-town drama, nosy neighbours and a connection that might be more than just a summer fling.
Will this seaside romance survive the heat – or burn out before the summer ends?
