Five-Star Summer by Sarah Morgan (NEW)

The job opportunity of a lifetime. A hotel in need of saving. A guest with a secret. The scene is set for a sparkling summer of unlikely friendship, defying the odds, and finding help in the most unlikely of places.

Perfect beach reading for fans of Emily Henry and Meghan Quinn.

Manager of the Alexandra Hotel, Cornwall, should have been Evie’s dream job. Instead, she’s buckling under the weight of trying to save the hotel she grew up in. It’s a magnificent building, but having been run into the ground by the previous manager, it will take a miracle to turn its fortunes around, and Evie is seriously short on miracles. All she has is grit, and a hoard of unruly staff who are more likely to reminisce about her as a baby, or speculate about her sex life, than take her seriously as a professional. She needs help, ASAP. Enter Abby. Parachuted in from Boston by the hotel’s umbrella company to identify the root cause of the problem, her instant rapport with Evie is an instant problem. It’s clear Evie is out of her depth, but it’s also clear that Evie needs support and advice, not censure. Evie could even be the best friend she never had. But the biggest problem of all? Abby is in Cornwall incognito, and when her true identity is uncovered, their friendship is going to go up in flames. Abby’s goal was to help Evie, but her arrival triggers a seismic unravelling of secrets and lies. And it’s not just the hotel’s reputation that needs rebuilding – Evie and Abby will also have to tear down their lives in order to rebuild from the ground up…
