It was supposed to be the perfect summer escape . . .

Down in Cornwall, the sun is shining and a row of three holiday cottages are fully booked. Em's in the first one, with her blended family - fingers crossed they're still together by the end of the fortnight. Maggie's in the second cottage with her bolshie teenage daughter, hoping that some sea air and sunshine will reunite them. And then Olivia arrives in need of sanctuary, and perhaps the chance to work through the secret that has weighed on her for so long.

As the lives of the three women become tangled together, it's not long before everyone's wondering - will this holiday turn out to be a scorcher . . . or simply too hot to handle?
