She's afraid to love again.
Liz has a secret. No, it's not her cheating ex who won't leave her alone (everyone knows about him). No, it's not her crazy mother acting crazier (which everyone, especially her identical twin, knows about). Her secret is about Luke. No, it's not the fact they've been sleeping together (though that is a secret, sort of). Her secret is that she might be in love with him. But, after everything she went through with her ex, she's done with love.

He won't give up on her.
Luke has other plans. He's watched over Liz for years while she was with a man that didn't deserve her. Now, he'll prove to her that they do belong together, even while a woman from his own past reenters his life, challenging his and Liz's love.

Can they find a way towards each other?
Between dueling exes, frustrating family, and the wedding of the year, can they find their way towards a future together? Come for one last visit to the seaside to find out...

*Includes multiple epilogues featuring characters from the series (and some Vallerian royals) in the future!

This novel features a woman recovering from an abusive relationship and a man moving past his divorce, a family made of friends that loves one another (even while they annoy each other), and a look behind fictional pub walls.

This is a standalone book in the series with no cliffhanger, and features sexy scenes and swearing. Emotional trigger warning: abuse.
