Emily Bennett is quite comfortable with her life in Margaret River, thank you very much. But when her friends convince her to swap her familiar routine for two weeks in a luxury Bali villa, she figures sunshine, cocktails and pool days can’t be that bad.
What she’s not expecting is Matt.
Seeing her ex for the first time in years is awkward enough. Sharing a villa with him (and his new girlfriend) is another thing entirely.
Determined not to let that ruin her holiday, Emily throws herself into Bali: beach clubs, surf lessons, scooters, monkeys, questionable cocktails and even Zac, a charming surfer who proves a very welcome distraction.
But two weeks under the same roof is a long time to avoid someone you once loved. And as old memories begin to surface, Emily starts to wonder whether there was more to their breakup than she ever knew.
Because what happens in the villa doesn’t always stay in the villa.
A warm, funny romantic comedy about friendship, second chances, and the unexpected places life takes us.
