Sparks fly when a young woman finds herself cast on a Love Island- inspired reality show and
has to choose between her heart and her strategy in this sizzling new queer romantic comedy
from the beloved author of Wanderlust . This summer things are about to heat up. Cas
Morgan has spent years of her life watching Hot Summer the hit reality dating show that pairs
together a bunch of sexy singles in an exotic island location. Like the rest of the TV-watching
UK public she’s captivated by the hot contestants outrageous fights and hilarious banter.
But she never quite thought she’d be a part of it until her company secures a partnership with
the production team behind the show and Cas is handpicked as a contestant. She won’t get any
extra help making it through the eight weeks in the hot Cypriot sun but if she does well and
makes it to the finals her long-awaited promotion will be secured. Cas is ready to spend the
summer trying to make herself more likeable to win over the voting public—and if not likeable
then at least iconic. But just as she steps into the villa her entire plan goes off course.
She’s instantly smitten with fellow contestant Ada who shockingly appears to be on the show
to find a genuine relationship one Cas can't give. Ada is gorgeous and charming and seems to
like Cas exactly as she is sharp-edges and all. Cas isn't used to the side of herself Ada
brings out and when their connection becomes undeniable—and Cas's own standing in the villa
precarious—she's torn between listening to her heart or sticking to her strategy.
