'Fun and sexy – a perfect beach read' THE SUN Previously published as One Hot Summer She wants solitude. He needs to disappear. Neither expect the sparks. Alice flees from prying eyes to the solitude of Borne Manor, after her husband's scandalous affair makes headlines. She's heartbroken, humiliated and in desperate need of a fresh start (not to mention a tenant to help pay the bills). Enter Robinson: a smouldering six-foot-something pillar of pure, denim-clad temptation. The country music star has a bruised heart of his own and a need to go off-grid. Renting Alice's guest house seems like the perfect escape. Neither of them is looking for love. But as summer heats up, so does the tension – steamy glances, late-night confessions and one kiss that changes everything. What begins as a simple arrangement quickly turns into a sizzling affair. Can two hearts burned by betrayal find harmony again? Or will their song fade when the summer ends?
