Ten years ago, Sarah fell in love with her best friend. There was only one problem. Nobody was allowed to know. For almost a year, Alex Parker was hers in empty classrooms, behind the sports hall and everywhere no one else could see them. At sixteen, Sarah thought keeping their relationship secret made it exciting. Until Alex broke her heart. She hasn't seen him since. Now, ten years later, their childhood friends are getting married, and Sarah has agreed to spend two weeks at a villa with the people she grew up with. Including Alex. She tells herself it doesn't matter. Whatever happened between them belongs firmly in the past. But there's something in the way Alex looks at her that brings back memories she'd rather leave there. And suddenly ten years doesn't feel nearly long enough. Thrown together through beach days, dinners, old photographs and increasingly inconvenient proximity, Sarah begins to realise that forgetting your first love is considerably easier when you're not having to share a villa with him. Especially when Alex seems to remember everything too. A second-chance romance about first love, old secrets, and the terrifying possibility that some feelings don't disappear just because you want them to.
