'When Pippa Carmichael inherits a house on a deserted tropical island, it couldn't have come at a better time for her. Life's been tough lately; she's lost her job, given her boyfriend the flick, and now it's time for her to make a new start. With her two best friends, Tamsin and Nell, Pippa heads off to Pentecost Island to investigate her inheritance and is surprised to find there is another resident on the family island.

'Reclusive author, Rafe Renella, is not impressed when a boatload of women turns up on his island, interrupting his peaceful existence. He is less impressed when he meets Pippa, the sassy new owner of Ma Carmichael's sprawling house.

'Can these two live in harmony on the same small island, or is Pippa's dream destined to fail?'
