"Readers will be swept up by well-drawn characters, each with her own romantic predicament, in this deft fictional examination of fragile and frayed familial bonds."—Shelf Awareness on The Island Villa
A messy family drama and a steamy little romance unfold under the Mediterranean sun for the perfect summer escape...
Celebrated romance author Catherine Swift has topped the bestseller lists for decades, though her personal story hasn't been quite so successful. Three failed marriages have left her relationship with her daughters strained, but that's about to be rectified. Engaged yet again, Catherine is counting on this wedding to be what finally brings them together as a family, and she'll do whatever it takes to make that happen.
Adeline doesn't know what's worse—that her mother is getting married a fourth time, or that she's being guilted into witnessing the train wreck at Catherine's luxury villa in Corfu. It brings back the pain of her parents' split, of her mother's infidelity and the baby that was the result. Not that she blames her half sister, Cassie, but then she's never made an effort to know her, either.
Find out what happens when a career-driven woman exchanges her briefcase for a Christmas-kissed cottage in USA Today bestselling author Sarah Morgan's heartwarming story, The Holiday Cottage!

        Best-selling romance novelist Catherine Swift is thrilled to be getting married for a fourth time. While her younger daughter, Cassie, is excited for her mother, her older daughter and Cassie's half-sister, Adeline, is not. Even though she won't admit it, Adeline has not healed from her parents' divorce when she was eight. Catherine cheated on Adeline's father, became pregnant with Cassie, divorced Adeline's father, and married her affair partner. Adeline is about to RSVP ""no"" when her father convinces her to go to the wedding, held at Catherine's villa in Corfu. When the sisters arrive in Greece, they are shocked to discover the identity of Catherine's fianc�. This shock gives way to the uncovering of family secrets and the healing of decade-old hurts. As Cassie and Adeline discover their own love stories, they also learn much more about their mother and their own past. Astute readers will easily work out the twists in the book well before the characters do, but those looking for a quick summer read will enjoy the romance, the Greek setting, and the family drama.
