In grey, 1930s England, Bea has grown up kicking against the conventions n of the time, all the while knowing that she will one day n have to marry someone her parents choose - someone rich enough to n keep the family estate alive. But she longs for so much more - for n adventure, excitement, travel, and maybe even romance. When n she gets the chance to spend the summer in Italy with her bohemian n uncle and his fiancee, a whole world is opened up to Bea - a world n that includes Ben, a cocky young artist who just happens to n be infuriatingly handsome too. Sparks fly between the quick-witted n pair until one night, under the stars, a challenge is set: can n Bea and Ben put aside their teasing and have the perfect summer romance? n With their new friends gleefully setting the rules for n their fling, Bea and Ben can agree on one thing at least: they absolutely, n positively will not, cannot fall in love... A long, n hot summer of kisses and mischief unfolds - but storm clouds are n gathering across Europe, and home is calling. Every summer has to n end - but for Bea, this might be just the beginning. n
