Getting Away
Sometimes being in the wrong place at the wrong time can lead to an unexpected romantic adventure.
Nancy Smart is in the wrong place at the wrong time when she becomes accidentally embroiled in a plan to kidnap the heir to a fortune and her ordinary life is turned upside down.
Back in the gang’s tropical hideaway, the homemade rum starts to flow and friendships are formed. She even finds herself falling in love with the ruggedly attractive head honcho, Joe. Despite the palm trees, the glistening ocean and the warm sunset kisses, this is not a holiday and Nancy cannot stay much longer. However, the bungling gang’s incompetent plot seems doomed to failure. Sympathising with their plight and not wanting to see them go to prison, she agrees to collaborate with her captives as they hatch a new and improved plan.
Soon, Nancy finds herself leading a wild goose chase across the streets of Europe, with the police in hot pursuit. With everybody’s freedom resting on her shoulders, does she have enough courage to succeed? And if she does, can she ever see Joe again without putting all their lives in danger?
This pacy romantic adventure is the debut novel by author Amelia Short. Full of love, laughter and incompetent kidnappers. Think Bridget Jones meets Ruthless People!

About the author
Amelia Short
4 books6 followersGreetings!
My name is Amelia Short and I love writing books set in is sunny, far away places.
I am lucky enough to live by the seaside in beautiful Devon, England with my husband, where I like to take inspiration from the rolling waves and fresh sea air. It’s the perfect place for long walks where I can think through my plot lines or listen to podcasts and audiobooks.
I love to travel and explore as often as my work and finances will allow. I like nothing more than to delve into a good holiday read (even before the flight has taken off!) and hope my book will give my readers the same enjoyment.
I am currently enjoying writing my Romantic Comedy series, A Place in Greece.
Happy reading!!

A great holiday read! Not like your usual holiday romance, and making pals in the most unlikely of situations. It also takes you back a good few years, with a nod to some old school favourites. I really enjoyed thos author's debut release!
