Still damaged by her brief and disappointing marriage, Izzy Vinnicomb is not looking for love. A qualified vet with ambitions to become an equine specialist, she makes no compromise for men.
When celebrated artist Peregrine Holt moves in next door, her resolve begins to waver. A talented sculptor, he patiently chips away her defences, rebuilding her confidence, slowly exposing her hidden strength and beauty.
Why not? Peregrine Holt is only here for the summer. A temporary affair is just what she needs to get her over a dry spell. So what if the circles he moves in are a world apart from her own? So what if she's falling harder than she planned? Isn't she a sharply intelligent professional, who knows better than to throw it all away on a relationship that is leading nowhere?
The perfect romance to read on the beach, or curled up on the sofa.
