from swimsuits. Now, a long-planned reunion on Portugal’s sun-soaked coast might be just what she needs to start over.

Reuniting with old friends means cocktails by the pool, belly laughs, and maybe—just maybe—flirting with the outrageously handsome landscape gardener, Eduardo. But when Debs realises he understood every word of her mortifying chat about post-40 sex lives, she’s ready to sink into the sand. Until she notices the way he keeps looking at her… and how her heart isn’t quite so broken anymore.

This trip was supposed to be about letting loose. But can Debs shake off her insecurities long enough to take a real chance on herself—and on Eduardo?

A heartwarming, feel-good summer escape about friendship, love, and second chances—perfect for fans of Carole Matthews, Nicola May, and Milly Johnson.
