The brand‑new book from bestselling author Catherine Walsh about two exes running a summer guesthouse on an otherwise uninhabited Irish island
Two exes. Only one island. Paradise just got complicated.
After a painful break‑up with her boyfriend, Grace is ready to leave Toronto for a fresh start and accepts a position as caretaker and B&B host on a remote Irish island for the summer.
It’s backbreaking work, with no electricity and just a donkey and a handful of guests for company, but she’s sure this is exactly where she needs to be. And putting three thousand miles between you and your ex is never a bad thing, right?
Yet, when she arrives on the island, her carefully planned journey of healing and self‑discovery falls apart in an instant. Because her fellow caretaker is none other than Nathan: the very ex she’s running from.
They clash spectacularly, but Grace is determined to win the breakup by seeing this summer through, or at least outlasting Nathan. One thing is certain: this island isn’t big enough for the both of them.
