What to expect

‘Make sure you pack this gem alongside your plane tickets and sun cream. It's packed with all the ingredients necessary for a PERFECT holiday’ SAMANTHA TONGE
Previously published as The Bed and Breakfast on the Beach
One Greek island. Three best friends. Endless heat – on and off the beach …
When life implodes for lifelong friends Winnie, Stella, and Frankie, they do the only sensible thing: impulse buy a crumbling B&B on a sun-drenched Greek island. Villa Valentina is supposed to be their fresh start.
But paradise has its own surprises – like a basement full of gin, unexpected guests and a world-famous rock band staying next door.
Frankie’s not looking for romance, but the band's devastatingly sexy, tattooed frontman is hard to ignore – and even harder to resist. Winnie’s drawn to Jesse, their brooding neighbour with secrets of his own. And as for Stella? She’s ready to burn the rulebook and light up the island.
A gorgeous, spicy summer romance celebrating the power of female friendship – proving you're never too old for a new beginning … or a hot vacation fling
