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!
