Oliver is Declan's type on paper. But can what happens in the villa stay in the villa?

For boxer Declan King, his performance on the UK's #1 reality dating show, Summer of Love, will be the hardest of his life. Millions are watching his dates with bikini-clad bombshells as he compete to win, but he's rapidly losing his heart to the one person he shouldn't want...

Oliver Wright, a ballet dancer, needs the prize money to move to New York to get his ex-girlfriend back. But when his and Declan's on-screen bromance leads to a behind-the-scenes kiss, they can no longer deny their attraction to one another.

With meddling producers, fame-hungry co-stars and viewers watching their every move, they must decide what they are willing to give up to live in the public eye, even if it means each other.

Funny, sweet and swoony, this is the perfect read for fans of Red, White and Royal Blue, Something to Talk About and The Charm Offensive.
