"...it will sweep you into a glorious, romantic summer
haze!" - thebookactivist
A long, hot Italian summer. A duel of kisses. The rules:
sparks must fly. Dreams must dance. Neither party must fall
in love.
In grey, 1930s England, Bea has grown up kicking against the conventions
of the time, all the while knowing that she will one day
have to marry someone her parents choose - someone rich enough
to keep the family estate alive. But she longs for so much more
- for adventure, excitement, travel, and maybe even romance.
When she gets the chance to spend the summer in Italy with her
bohemian uncle and his fiancée, a whole world is opened up
to Bea - a world that includes Ben, a cocky young artist who just
happens to be infuriatingly handsome too. Sparks fly between the
quick-witted pair until one night, under the stars, a challenge
is set: can Bea and Ben put aside their teasing and have the perfect
summer romance?
With their new friends gleefully setting the rules for their fling,
Bea and Ben can agree on one thing at least: they absolutely,
positively will not, cannot fall in love...
A long, hot summer of kisses and mischief unfolds - but storm
clouds are gathering across Europe, and home is calling. Every summer
has to end - but for Bea, this might be just the beginning.
