The Summer Island Swap

After a stressful year, Sarah is dreaming of the five-star getaway her sister Amy has booked for them. White sands, cocktails, massages, the Caribbean is calling them.

So now Sarah’s battling mosquitos, trying to stomach fish soup and praying for a swift escape. Life on a desert island though isn’t all doom and gloom. They’re at one with nature, learning about each other and making new friends. And Sarah can’t help but find herself distracted by the dishy, yet incredibly moody, island man running the resort. Even if she’s sure he’s hiding a secret...
