"The perfect summer novel--sharp, smart and so much fun!" --Viola
Shipman, USA TODAY bestselling author
A messy family drama and a steamy little romance unfold under
the Mediterranean sun for the perfect summer escape...
Celebrated romance author Catherine Swift has topped the bestseller
lists for decades, though her personal story hasn't been quite so
successful. Three failed marriages have left her relationship with her
daughters strained, but that's about to be rectified. Engaged yet again,
Catherine is counting on this wedding to be what finally brings them
together as a family, and she'll do whatever it takes to make that
happen.
Adeline doesn't know what's worse--that her mother is getting married a
fourth time, or that she's being guilted into witnessing the train
wreck at Catherine's luxury villa in Corfu. It brings back the pain of
her parents' split, of her mother's infidelity and the baby that was the
result. Not that she blames her half sister, Cassie, but then she's
never made an effort to know her, either.
Cassie, on the other hand, is thrilled by her mother's news and admires
Catherine's resilience. She's equally excited about meeting the mystery
groom, and at the prospect of spending her summer in Corfu, where she
can process a secret of her own she's been keeping from everyone.
As Cassie and Adeline arrive on the island, they each have very
different expectations of what this week will bring--they haven't been
entirely honest with their mother about their lives, either--but in the
lead-up to the wedding, all will be revealed, for better or worse.
