Description
'Really really loved this! Woke up early to carry on reading... this ticked all the boxes for me' NetGalley reviewer, 5 stars
Summer doesn't last forever, but can a perfect one change your life?
For successful estate agent Freya Henderson, life is all work and no play. But, when she crosses paths with carefree young surfer, Luke Stevenson, there's no denying the attraction between them.
When Luke invites her to join him on a working holiday in France, it's a real dilemma. Is it time to throw caution to the wind? Perhaps an enchanting summer fling with no strings attached would be a great way to de-stress and finally allow herself some fun.
As he takes her on a magical mystery tour of gorgeous locations among stunning châteaux, picturesque villages and sun-kissed vineyards, Freya can't help feeling there's something missing in her life... perhaps even a man like Luke.
But how well does she know him? Is he just looking for a summer adventure, or is he running away from something?
As the summer draws to a close, can Freya and Luke simply slip back into their old lives, or will they be left wondering 'What if?'
Maybe this summer romance never has to end...
Absolutely perfect for fans of Karen Swan, Rosanna Ley and Sarah Morgan!

Person
Lucy Coleman always knew that one day she would write, but first life took her on a wonderful journey of self-discovery for which she is very grateful.
Family life and two very diverse careers later she now spends most days glued to a keyboard, which she refers to as her personal quality time.
'It's only when you know who you are that you truly understand what makes you happy - and writing about love, life and relationships makes me leap out of bed every morning!'
If she isn't online she's either playing with the kids, whose imaginations seem to know no bounds, or painting something. As a serial house mover together with her lovely husband, there is always a new challenge to keep her occupied!
