Brought to you by Penguin.

A hot Italian summer. Two seemingly happy couples. And one dark secret that, once spilled, could ruin them all...

Laura's marriage is at a crossroads.

When she discovers Villa Luna Rossa, a crumbling villa in the Italian countryside, she convinces her husband Nick to embark on a new life there.

But as the intense summer heat rises, Laura quickly realises that her issues with Nick haven't been left behind.

So it's a relief when their first guests arrive - a glamorous American couple.

Laura can't help but be drawn to these strangers.

As she gets closer to the couple, though, she realises that everyone at Villa Luna Rossa is hiding something. And as the summer draws to a close, no secret will be safe...

Written in an urgent, breathless style with a fascinating structure, Italy is evoked in all its sultry beauty, while drama throbs and secrets surface. A quintessential summer read If you enjoyed Kate Riordan's South of France set novel The Heatwave, then you're guaranteed to love Summer Fever , which transports readers to a crumbling villa in the Italian countryside . . . Full of forbidden desire and dark secrets, this sultry psychological thriller pulses with suspense and simmering tension A sexy summer read with a twist. If you're looking for a summer read to devour by the pool or on the beach, look no further Tense and atmospheric. A dark, sultry, summer read Sexy and atmospheric - incredibly smart escapism. I was gripped throughout and so surprised and delighted by the ending Sultry, sexy, and suspenseful - Summer Fever is scorched with tension. Psychologically complex characters and a beautifully evoked Italian setting make this an utterly page-turning summer read Steamy, febrile, hypnotic. Kate Riordan is the Queen of the sexy summer psychological drama The characters leapt from the page, and yet they have such nuance and depth, Kate really knows how to get under their skin; and the villa and setting, that brooding Italian charm with and edge of menace. Laura, Nick, Bastian and Madison will stay with me, their relationships authentically complicated and compelling A sexy, sultry, immersive read Expand reviews
