Sink or Swim

He’s a fish out of water, she’s fighting the current, but together will they Sink or Swim? Arriving back in the small Lake District town of Inglemere, Aria thinks she’s reclaiming her childhood home after her dad’s untimely death. Resentful of her self-involved stepmother, and dodging her insufferable ex, Aria has no choice but to move into the falling-apart fishing hut she’s been left instead.

Enter Nic, a southern property tycoon with a desperate plan to transform the untouched lake shore into a luxury haven for the rich. But when his development plans hit a snag, the only way forward is to convince the locals he’s one of them.

With Aria’s financial situation worsening, a deal with this handsome devil feels like her only option…
