A Villa with a View

A Villa with a View by Julie Caplin transports readers to the idyllic white sandy beaches and turquoise blue seas of the Amalfi coast. But for Lia Bathurst, this dream destination holds an unexpected surprise: meeting her real father for the first time. A father she never knew about until just weeks ago. Standing outside the gates of a charming pink villa, Lia finds herself refused entry by the insufferable, yet undeniably handsome, Raphael Knight, her father's business manager.

When an old black and white photo proves Lia’s claim, Raphael is suspicious of Lia’s intentions. Determined to ensure Lia has no ulterior motives, he decides to keep a close eye on her. As the Mediterranean sun heats up, so does the chemistry between Lia and Raphael. Could their enforced proximity blossom into something more enchanting?
