Jennifer is here to marry the man of her dreams, but could an unexpected wedding guest turn her perfect day into nightmare?

Garinne and Aidan celebrate their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary, while secretly wondering if it's all a sham. Divorced dad Rudy arrives for a rare holiday with his beloved little boy - though his ex-wife may not see it in the same light. And thriller - writer Corrine observes all from the sidelines, as she battles with writer's block and self-doubt. Is the inspiration she needs closer than she thinks?

Summary

In this wonderful collection of interlinked short stories Sheila O'Flanagan transports her readers to the Caribbean island resort of White Sands, where visitors arrive hoping their dreams will come true - which they sometimes do.

In touching, poignant and delicious tales of life by the ocean, Sheila introduces some of the most likeable and interesting characters she's created. There's Tara, who's arrived with the man she wants to marry only to find that a rejected lover is planning to get in the way; Grainne, who's been sent with her husband by their children to celebrate the anniversary of a shotgun wedding twenty-five years earlier, and who thinks the time has come to move on - or has it? Rudy's on an idyllic break with his young son which is set for an unexpected ending; and Isobel - of ISOBEL'S WEDDING - has arrived with no idea that her ex-lover Nico might be staying just next door. Romance is very much alive in the hot Caribbean nights...
