ESCAPE TO THE SUN

Boldwood Books

17August 2026

One honeymoon. One broken promise. One unforgettable escape.

Alone on her dream Caribbean Christmas cruise after her husband's betrayal, Hannah is determined to leave her heartbreak behind, honeymooning in solitude.

Until she meets Captain Louis King: charming, confident, and completely off-limits. She's sworn off love, and he's the man steering the ship.

But as island nights glow and the ocean carries them closer together, Hannah's carefully rebuilt walls begin to crack.

When the voyage ends and the islands fade behind her, Hannah must decide if this Caribbean escape was only about healing, or the start of something she was never meant to find.

A glamorous, sun-drenched romance of second chances, for fans of Sheila O'Flanagan, Ruth O'Leary and Lucy Diamond.
