Prickly Heat , by Louise Candlish
Eleanor Blake, distraught after the break up with her fiance Will, has decided to do what most would scarcely dare: secretly follow him to his holiday hideaway with the girlfriend who took her place. But on the shimmering Sicilian island of Panarea, Eleanor should be the first to suspect that things are not as they seem when Frannie, a head turning beauty of truly invincible charm, befriends her. And the high-spirited scene at the Albergo delle Rose sweeps her up all too easily, where guests include the attractive - and confusing - young archaeologist Lewis. Amid the high-octane glamour and natural beauty of the island, Eleanor experiences the passions and comedies of a very unusual holiday, culminating in a final, drama-filled confrontation with Will.
