Book description
Chloe needs a holiday. She's sick of making wedding dresses and
her partner is having trouble at work. Her wealthy friend Gerard has
offered the loan of his luxury villa in Spain - perfect.
Hugh is not a happy man. His immaculate wife seems more
interested in the granite for the new kitchen than in him, and he
works so hard to pay for it all, he barely has time to see their
children. But his old schoolfriend Gerard has lent them a luxury villa
in Spain - perfect.
Both families arrive at the villa and get a shock: Gerard has
double-booked. An uneasy week of sharing begins, and tensions soon
mount in the soaring heat. But there's also a secret history between
the families - and as tempers fray, an old passion begins to resurface...
