One Thousand Stars and You

Take the romantic trip of a lifetime

Summary

Escape to the glistening sands of Sri Lanka in this romantic and heartwarming read about how one woman's life changed forever . . .

'An irresistible love story'
Daily Express
____________


One spark will light up both their lives.


Alice
is ready to settle down. It might not be the adventurous life she once imagined, but more than anything she wants to make everyone happy - her steady boyfriend, her over-protective mother – but first . . . A once in a lifetime trip to Sri Lanka.


Max
is shaking things up. After a devastating injury, he is determined to prove himself. To find the man beyond the disability, to escape his smothering family and go on an adventure.

This trip to Sri Lanka is Alice's last hurrah - her chance to throw herself into the heat, chaos and colour of a place thousands of miles from home.

It's also the moment she meets Max.

Alice doesn't know it yet, but her whole life is about to change.

Max doesn't know it yet, but he's the one who's going to change it.
