A Reverse Age Gap, Single Mom, Summer Romance At twenty-three, I lost everything. My husband. My love for life. My will to live. All I had left was my beautiful baby boy. Somehow, I picked up the pieces of myself and my life, and I moved to Sizzle Beach, the one place I was hoping I would still find happiness. The moment my toes touched the sand, I sat on the ground, clutching Alex on my lap, and I cried. I cried because I still had something in this world that brought me peace. With my dad's help, I bought a small house and turned the front half into a bookstore, leaving the back half as my house. Seven years later, I've mostly found my footing. Every day still hurts, but I'm living. But it's not until Slater--a sinfully hot lifeguard--dances into my life that my soul lights on fire again. He's sweet, kind, and so good with Alex. He makes me burn inside in a way my husband never had. I may have been drowning in the deep end, but Slater is about to pull my head above the water. Trigger warnings: military casualty

‘Glows with warmth and wit’ Jenny McLachlan, author of Flirty Dancing ‘A witty, feel-good romp of a book’ Emma Carroll, author of Letters from the Lighthouse ‘So warm and funny with characters who feel like friends’ Keris Stainton, author of Starring Kitty Elektra James is back and her life is more hilariously chaotic than ever! Elektra is hoping for BIG things this year... She's finished her first feature film (even if her character was unexpectedly killed off half-way through filming), hosted the party of the year (well, before her mum arrived and threw everyone out - how embarrassing!) and managed to become Archie Mortimer's Actual Real Life girlfriend (for now anyway...), so things are most definitely moving in the right direction. But with social media to navigate (#actinggoals #instanightmare), GCSEs looming and a seemingly never-ending parade of failed casting calls, Elektra's road to acting stardom is proving to be as rocky as ever. Full of humour and warmth, this is the perfect series for fans of Holly Smale, Katy Birchill, Beth Garrod and Marianne Levy.
