When Sparks Fly

It's not just the leaves that are falling

Moving back home was never part of Lia's plan. But then again, neither was everything falling apart. Now she's back in the seaside town she swore she'd outgrown - living with her parents, sleeping in her teenage bedroom, and trying not to think too hard about the life she left behind in London.

At first, it's exactly as she feared: the same pub, the same people, the same routines. Comfortingly familiar and yet completely suffocating. Until one slightly chaotic night leads to her getting locked in a pub toilet with a handsome stranger. He's charming, funny, mysterious - and gone before she even learns his name.

In a town this small, he's bound to turn up eventually - but when he does, Lia realises it's going to be far more complicated than she thought.

When her past and present start to collide, Lia has a choice: keep chasing the life she thought she wanted, or stay put and see what happens when the sparks start flying.
