I’m delighted to be part of the publication day push for this latest novel by T A Williams.
Her work has got in the way of relationships before–but never like this.
Anna’s job as a geologist takes her all over the world, including to the beautiful island of Elba, where she’s sent to look for precious metals. And the island isn’t the only thing that’s gorgeous–she can’t believe her luck when she meets windsurfer Marco and sparks fly.
But Anna must keep her role on Elba a secret to avoid upsetting the locals, which means lying to Marco even as they grow closer. When her old friend Toby visits, Anna suddenly finds herself torn between the attentions of the two men.
However, Anna’s not the only one keeping secrets. Is Marco being entirely honest with her? And why did Toby really come to visit? A fun and escapist romance, perfect for fans of Lucy Coleman and Alex Brown.
Author Bio – I’m a man. And a pretty old man as well. I did languages at university a long time ago and then lived and worked in France and Switzerland before going to Italy for seven years as a teacher of English. My Italian wife and I then came back to the UK with our little daughter (now long-since grown up) where I ran a big English language school for many years. We now live in a sleepy little village in Devonshire. I’ve been writing almost all my life but it was only seven years ago that I finally managed to find a publisher who liked my work enough to offer me my first contract.
The fact that I am now writing romantic comedy is something I still find hard to explain. My early books were thrillers and historical novels. Maybe it’s because there are so many horrible things happening in the world today that I feel I need to do my best to provide something to cheer my readers up. My books provide escapism to some gorgeous locations, even if travel to them is currently difficult.

Review-
I’m always thrilled whenever T A Williams releases a book and this one is just as enticing as the others!
Set on the Italian island of Elba, this is the third standalone story in the ‘Escape to Tuscany’ series. Having visited Elba, this was a delightful way to revisit the island and escape to the sunshine but, even if it’s somewhere new to you as a reader, you’ll certainly be drawn into the descriptions of its’ beauty as you turn each page.
Central character Anna finds herself torn between rugged windsurfer Marco and childhood friend Toby, who plans to visit during her stay. Both men are vastly different, drawing out the two sides of her personality, ‘Naughty Anna’ and ‘Sensible Anna’ as she wrestles with her conscience to determine which man deserves her heart.
Yet perhaps the sweetest relationship is the one she develops with elderly Jack who shares her love of geology and has a secret of his own that he has kept hidden for years. Labradors always play a key part in any T A Williams novel and adorable George is no exception!
A perfect summer romance!
