THE ADDICTIVE NEW NOVEL FROM THE AUTHOR OF RICHARD & JUDY PICK THE HEATWAVE

'A sexy summer read with a twist. If you're looking for a summer read to devour by the pool or on the beach, look no further' EVENING STANDARD

Nick and Laura are the hosts: pretending their marriage isn't on the rocks. Madison and Bastian are the guests: neither is remotely who they claim to be. Under the scorching Mediterranean sun, no secret is safe.

No betrayal goes unnoticed. Two couples. But will either survive the summer?
