But the hotel’s manager, Chloe Townsend, is one very special lady. As she settles her guests in, it becomes clear that this weekend is going to bring some big surprises.Because some things are worth fighting for – and what seems like an unhappy ending can be a very exciting new beginning …And when the weekend draws to a close, no-one is going to be more surprised than Chloe herself.If you love MARIAN KEYES and SOPHIE KINSELLA you will love this!
