On a much-needed break to Tenerife, she stumbles across a Help Wanted sign for local pensioner, Hugo, and on a leap of faith she accepts the job. Hugo’s beautiful villa is under threat and, to complicate matters, his brooding (but handsome) nephew, Alex, has shown up full of suspicion towards Sophie. Her hands full dealing with difficult men and a clearly unreciprocated attraction towards Alex, Sophie needs to make a decision. Does her future lie in Tenerife or is her holiday officially over?

Her agent suggests an extended holiday to get her writing career back on track – 6 months in a stunning villa on the gorgeous island of Tenerife. No WiFi, no TV, no distractions. Except for the very attractive, very lovely Sebastián who comes by every day to clean the pool. Soon Ivy’s on a roll with her new novel and her relationship with Sebastián is growing into something more, despite the secrets he’s keeping. But her ex isn’t done with her – professionally or personally. And with Sebastián not telling Ivy the whole truth, maybe a return to London is best... Sunset on the Square: In her late 50s and having lived in Tenerife for over 15 years, there’s not much on the island that can surprise widowed Elspeth. Until her hotelier friend asks her to put up a guest after they’ve overbooked – and handsome Charles is suddenly staying in very close quarters.
