'This epic road-trip is full of glamour, romance and sizzling sexual tension, but at its heart is a truly heart-warming tale of self discovery - you'll not want to miss a moment of it.' - Chick Lit Love
Home-loving Laurie thinks she's happy - she has a safe, reliable boyfriend and working in her local library is what she thought she always wanted. That is until she inherits a vintage Ferrari from her eccentric Uncle Miles and the conditions of the inheritance are far from simple. To keep the car Laurie will have to drive across Europe with the gorgeous but unreliable Cameron Matthews as her guide... and Cam's motives for helping are not all that altruistic.
Cam isn't particularly thrilled about escorting his late pal Miles' dull mouse of a niece on this wild goose chase but all he has to do is get Laurie safely to Italy and he's sure the Ferrari is his.
But Uncle Miles had a few tricks up his sleeve and the route he's planned takes Cam and Laurie on a road trip they'll never forget. From sampling the delights of the Loire Valley to the breathtaking beauty of Lake Garda, this is one journey that has more twists and turns than either of them could ever have imagined...

Praise for Jules's fabulous debut `Talk to Me', published by Choc Lit:
'A heart-warming debut.' - The Bookseller
'Jules Wake's Talk to me is the next wave in chick lit - it is a brilliant novel that is funny, clever and romantic. Not since Sophie Kinsella and Helen Fielding, has there been such a coup d'etat for the genre. If you can only take one book with you on holiday this year- then this is that book.' - Elder Park Book Reviews
`Jules Wake has gifted us with an incredible debut for this story has love, intrigue and danger' - Love of a Good Book
Jules Wake's earliest known declaration that she planned to be a writer came at the age of ten.
Along the way she was diverted by the glamorous world of PR and worked on many luxury brands, taking journalists on press trips to awful places like Turin, Milan, Geneva, Paris, Brussels and Amsterdam and occasionally losing the odd member of the press in an airport. It gave her the opportunity to eat amazing food, drink free alcohol as well as providing opportunities to hone her writing skills on press releases and to research European cities for her books.
Eventually the voices in her head persuaded her it was time to sit down and write the novel she'd always talked about. Her debut novel, Talk to Me in 2014, was quickly followed by the bestselling From Italy With Love, published by HarperImpulse which reached the top ten in the Amazon Kindle charts. This was followed by From Paris With Love This Christmas and more recently, the best-selling Escape to the Riviera published by Avon in June last year.
Jules' current book Christmas at Covent Garden is a Kindle bestseller. She also writes cosy romance as Julie Caplin and her next book, The Little Cafe in Copenhagen, will be released in February 2018.
