Synopsis

Our Perfect Storm is a dream of a love story: breathtakingly romantic, sizzling with chemistry and set in a stunningly beautiful location.’ Rosie Walsh, Sunday Times and international bestselling author of The Man Who Didn't Call

'Charged with chemistry and rippling with atmosphere’Holly Miller, bestselling author of The Sight of You

'A gorgeous story of childhood friendship shifting into something more - full oflaughter and yearning and huge trees and stormy seas, and the feeling of being somewhere magical with a person you love.' Holly Gramazio, New York Times bestselling author of The Husbands
'Beautiful, emotional love stories set in breathtaking places' Paige Toon

'Carley Fortune is the master of the love story' Annabel Monaghan

Two best friends. Seven days in paradise. One last chance to fall in love or fall apart.

Frankie and George have been best friends since they were eight. They’ve always clashed and come back together—it’s what they do. Until now. On the eve of her wedding, Frankie doesn’t know where they stand or even if George will show up as her best man.

As she loses hope, in walks George. For one glorious evening, Frankie’s life is finally perfect. But it all comes crashing down when her fiancé dumps her the next morning, leaving only a note behind.

Crushed and confused, Frankie only wants to wallow. But George has a different idea. He wants her to go on her honeymoon. With him. For one week, to the lush rainforests and misty beaches of Tofino.

Frankie agrees, seeing the trip for what it really is: one last chance to repair their friendship. Even if it means unearthing secrets and long buried feelings neither knows how to handle. Even if it means falling apart for good.

PRAISE FOR CARLEY FORTUNE:

'Funny and sexy, this promises to be the escapist novel of the summer' HEAT

'A dreamy read full of romance ' VIP Magazine

'With summery weather, stunning sunsets and boat trips, it's impossible not to feel the holiday spirit while reading this book' Mirror

'Swoon-worthy, sun-drenched. . . Beautifully described scenery and a heart-fluttering friends-to-lovers story make this one of 2025’s best romances.' Culturefly
