The Love Game

‘Fun and sexy – a perfect beach read’ THE SUN

‘Brimming full of joy and sunshine’ JULES WAKE

Previously published as A Summer Scandal

As the mercury rises, so does their chemistry…

When Violet inherits a crumbling Victorian pier in the quirky seaside town of Swallow Beach, she sees more than peeling paint – she sees potential. Her vision? An adults-only boardwalk of boutique shops, artisan offerings and second chances.

Not everyone is thrilled with Violet’s bold plans, but she finds an unexpected ally in Calvin: gorgeous, mysterious and surprisingly handy. He’s got secrets he’s not sharing – and looks at Violet like he’s got nothing to lose.

As sparks fly and passions ignite, Violet must navigate small-town drama, nosy neighbours and a connection that might be more than just a summer fling.

Will this seaside romance survive the heat – or burn out before the summer ends?
