See moreFrom holiday fling to homecoming ... A whirlwind island romance becomes something more in an uplifting romantic comedy about finding yourself after heartbreak.
(This book is an adult romance novel that contains mature themes and content.)
A week on Pearl Island is exactly the R&R that perpetual planner Andie Alcott needs. Except instead of sipping pina coladas by the beach, she's busy throwing her freshly divorced bestie, Taylor, a girls' trip to remember, dealing with a double-booking fiasco and worrying about her ailing father on the mainland. But it's cool - she has it covered. After all, everyone would be lost without her, right?
The last thing habitually barefoot local Jack Cooper wants is the headache of managing tourist bookings. But since he's to blame for the island's dwindling supply of holidaymakers, he'll do whatever it takes to keep them happy - in particular, a beautiful visitor named Andie...
With sun-kissed sands, sapphire waters, oysters and wine, Pearl Island promises the perfect getaway - and maybe even a hot holiday fling. But what happens when the emotional baggage comes in excess, and island life suddenly feels all too real?

About the Author
Karina May is one of Australia's brightest new voices in women's commercial fiction. Her debut print novel, Duck a l'Orange for Breakfast (April 2023) was longlisted in the 2024 Indie Book Awards for Best Debut Fiction, with her second, Never Ever Forever (December 2023), hailed "a slickly written and highly entertaining summer read". Karina, alongside her friend and author Clare Fletcher, is the founder and co-host of the successful That Rom Com Pod. When Karina's not writing or interviewing fellow authors for the pod, she can be found researching her next travel adventure or sipping champagne at bookish events - all in the name of research of course.
