Love, rivalry, and writing in a Tuscan paradise. Relax. Indulge. And
discover the writer within... Patricia Wilson's carefully composed ads for
the writers' retreat she runs at her thirteenth-century Italian castle
promise so much. But while the splendour of their surroundings and chef
Aldo's melanzane never fail to wow the guests, huge maintenance bills and
bad news from the bank threaten to close Patricia down. It's make or break
time for the Castello. Each of her seven aspiring authors arrives with the
inevitable baggage alongside their unpublished manuscripts. But this August
something is different, and soon lifelong spinster Mary is riding on the
back of Aldo's vespa, and smouldering odd-job man Fabio has set more than
one heart racing. As temperatures rise, the writers gossip, flirt and
gently polish their prose by the pool. But with ghosts, scorpions, and some
unexpected visitors to contend with, one thing's for sure: neither the
Castello, nor Patricia, has ever seen a summer like this.
