Will one summer in Sicily change her life for ever?
After her marriage falls apart, Ursula Quinn is offered the chance to spend the summer working at a hotel on a beautiful island off the coast of Sicily, Italy. Excited by a new adventure, she sets off at once.

At Residenza dei Tringali, Ursula receives a warm welcome from everyone except Alfio, son of the Tringali family. He gave up his life in Barcelona to help his mother Agata with the ailing business, and is frustrated with Ursula’s interference – and she in turn is less than impressed with his attitude. As they spend more time together, though, they begin to see each other in a different light.

But what with Ursula’s ex-husband on her tail, family secrets surfacing and an unexpected offer that makes Alfio question his whole life, there’s plenty to distract them from one another. Can she face her past and he his future, and together make the most of their Sicilian summer?

Sky was fostered in Middledip and counts those thirteen months as the best of her childhood, when she learned how wonderful Christmas can be amongst people who care. When her adult life implodes along with her friendship with erstwhile foster brother Freddy, she returns to the village to buy the neglected Corner House.

Unfortunately, villager Daz wants the property for his own fresh start, after his girlfriend succumbs to the bright lights of London and his best friend gets mixed up in a fraud… Sky outbids him, but finds that them both living on Winter Street makes him impossible to avoid.

Sparkling sun, strolls in the gorgeous French countryside, that first sip of cool, crisp wine - Summer is Kat's favourite season. And this year should be no exception…
