Angélique Renard crossed the Channel for ten days of freedom. Falling for the man blocking her hotel entrance was definitely not on the itinerary. Three months after walking away from a relationship that left her feeling more like somebody’s beautiful accessory than herself, Angélique arrives in Plymouth determined to enjoy one gloriously uncomplicated holiday. No schedules. No expectations. No man telling her what she ought to want. Then she meets Ben Salisbury. Ben is a marine engineer, born-and-bred Plymouth local and quite possibly the most irritating man Angélique has encountered on either side of the Channel. He thinks she’s too polished. She thinks he’s far too pleased with himself. Unfortunately, they also happen to find each other extremely attractive. When a last-minute crisis lands Angélique a starring role in a campaign promoting Breakers’ Square, Ben is roped in as her reluctant local guide. Suddenly they’re sharing early mornings, harbour adventures, awkwardly convincing photographs and rather too much time together for two people who insist they don’t particularly like each other. The bickering is easy. Ignoring the chemistry is considerably harder. And as Angélique’s ten-day escape begins to feel less like a holiday and more like somewhere she belongs, there’s one inconvenient detail neither of them can joke away: Her ferry home is already booked. Warm, funny and full of seaside chemistry, The French Connection is a feel-good romantic comedy about unexpected connections, second chances at being yourself and discovering that sometimes the best part of getting away is finding a reason to come back. The French Connection is a complete standalone romance with a happily-ever-after and can be enjoyed in any order as part of the Love on Breakers’ Square series.
