A Mediterranean escape!
Heartbroken jilted bride Immi Marlowe flees to Isola dei Fiore, desperate to get away. But just around the corner from Villa Rosa, a gorgeous billionaire is waiting to sweep her off her feet...
Matt Stark shares Immiâs sense of adventure, and on the islandâs golden beaches they form a connection that neither wants to end. Immiâs stay is supposed to be temporaryâbut with her secret past revealed, how far will Matt go to prove they can go the distance?
Immi noticed that Matt was still holding her hand; she really ought to find a tactful way of removing her hand from hisâ¦
Yet for the life of her she couldnât pull away, because she liked the feeling of his fingers tangled with hers.
They lay there in a strangely companionable silence, just watching the stars, and Matt pointed out a couple more constellations. âThat oneâs Lupusâthe wolf.â They lay until the air started to get chilly, and then Matt sighed. âI guess weâd better get back.â
He saw her back to the houseâand they still seemed to be holding hands.
This time he kissed her on the cheek. âGoodnight, Immi.â
Her skin tingled where his lips had touched her, and it was the easiest thing in the world to kiss his cheek back. Except somehow heâd moved, and she ended up brushing her mouth against his. It felt as if sheâd been galvanised. She felt him go very still, too. And then he dropped the blankets and cushions heâd been holding in his free hand, slid his arms round her and kissed her properly.
It felt as if she were floating among the stars theyâd just been watching.
Four sisters escape to the Mediterranean...
Only to find reunions, romance...and royalty!
Villa Rosa holds a very special place in the hearts of Posy Marlowe and her three sisters. Itâs filled with memories of idyllic summer holidays on LâIsola dei Fiori. And her recent inheritance of the beautiful but fading palazzo from her godmother, Sofia, couldnât have come at a better time for them all!
Now, this summer, they all escape to LâIsola dei Fiori and discover Villa Rosa again.

YOU WERENâT SUPPOSED to be jealous of your twin.
Especially when you knew sheâd just been through a rough time and she deserved every bit of happiness. And especially when it was her wedding day.
Immi really hoped that Andie was feeling so loved-up with Cleve that her twin-sense was temporarily muted and she had no idea that one of her bridesmaids was having a serious wobble.
Though, actually, Immi had a feeling that all three of the bridesmaids were having a serious wobble right now. Posy, the baby of the family, had a smile so bright and brittle that it was practically cracking. The same was true of Portia, the oldest of the Marlowe girls: the family rebel who was behaving so perfectly that she might as well have âfaking itâ written across her forehead in bright red lipstick.
Maybe she should suggest a midnight rendezvous on the beach, where the three of them could sit and talkâjust as they had when theyâd been children, snuggling up beneath a duvet and having whispered conversations late into the night. Maybe they could help each other with their problems. But Posy seemed to have closed off to everyone since sheâd joined the ballet corps and Portia wasnât given to talking about personal stuff.
And what did Immi have to whine about anyway? She had a job she loved, helping to run Marlowe Aviation, the family firm; and she was in the run-up to her wedding to Stephen Walters, who was all set to be promoted to her fatherâs second-in-command at work.
Except Stephen didnât look at her the way that Cleve looked at Andie.
And Immi had a nasty feeling that she didnât look at him the way that Andie looked at Cleve: as if there was nobody else on the surface of the planet.
