A marriage in the spotlight

Joanna Whitman’s high-profile marriage held more secrets than she cares to remember, so when her ex-husband dies, she doesn't know what to feel. But when she discovers that he’s left behind a pregnant young woman, Joanna is forced to act. She knows exactly how brutal the spotlight on them both will be…unless she can find a way for them to disappear.

A beach house hideaway

Ashley Blake is amazed when Joanna suggests they lie low at her beach house in her sleepy Californian hometown. Joanna should be hating her, not helping her. But alone and pregnant, Ashley needs all the support she can find.

A summer of new beginnings

Joanna's only goal for the summer is privacy. All Ashley wants is space to plan for her and her baby's future. But when an old flame reappears, and secrets spill out under the hot summer sun, this unlikely friendship is put to the test . . .

‘As with all Sarah’s books, Sarah is so good at hooking you from the first page and keeping you there. I fell easily into the story, and never wanted to leave. Nobody does heartfelt, sexy romance quite like Sarah, and Joanna’s reinvention – rebirth, really – was so brilliantly done, I felt like cheering at the end. Beach House Summer is the book everyone needs on their summer TBRs. It’s a perfect blend of drama, friendship and heart-melting romance: sumptuous, escapist fiction at its finest’ Cressida McLaughlin, The Staycation
