Single mum Holly Wilson arrives on the beautiful island of Mauritius for her latest assignment as undercover travel blogger, Liberty Sands.
Protecting her identity is part of the job, but when she meets Robert and Rosemary and their good friend Philippe, a dashing Frenchman who may be able to help mend her broken heart, maintaining her secret and equilibrium is not so easy.
Philippe has not been completely honest though and when Holly discovers the truth, she feels used and betrayed. She ends their relationship without giving him a chance to explain.
But Philippe is not prepared to to give up without a fight.
Page turner... I absolutely loved this book. The characters were well portrayed and believable, giving a sensitive and at times emotional account of their own personal journey which led me to get teary eyed and empathise with them. I was gripped from the beginning to end and cannot wait for the sequel.
