Summer Under a Starry French Sky
On sale
2nd July 2026
Price: £9.99
Daredevil stunt double Amber is fearless in every way… except when it comes to love. She isn’t scared of high-speed car chases. Or of being beaten up. Or even of diving off a cliff – literally. But relationships? That’s where you really get hurt.
So when she finds herself spending the summer working on a film set in the rolling French hills she’s 100% clear: romantic as the setting may be, she’s not open to anything besides casual flings.
Enter scruffily handsome archaeology academic Romain. He’s furious to be missing an important dig to work instead as an on-set historical accuracy advisor for a ridiculous Hollywood movie, and his scathing tone soon starts to irritate Amber no end. After a disastrous run-in one night she vows to avoid the grumpy professor for good.
And yet. As long hot days melt into slow evenings drinking wine under the stars, everyone on set finds themselves changed by the sensual French summer unfolding around them. And Amber and Romain can’t help but feel their own walls start to come down too…
But can a change of setting ever really be enough to bring about a change of heart?
