When "romance" needs a life-jacket, maybe it isn't meant to be! For some people, romance is to be avoided at all costs: 1) to avoid being hurt. 2) it's simply not worth the effort. 3) who could possibly fall in love with them anyway? If questioned, Fern Mortimer would tick all of the above. Following a hit-and-run, she is left in a wheelchair, and has since mastered the art of being invisible. Recovery is slow, and she hides away at her parents' house, taking one online course after another. It's easier to be a hermit. But there comes a time when she's fully qualified, and the big wide world beckons. A few months into a new job, and with a reputation as The Ice Queen, she doesn't expect to make any long lasting friends. An invitation to join a co-worker and her friends on a girly holiday to The Algarve comes as quite the surprise too. When Nessa won't take no for an answer, and against her better judgement, Fern agrees to the trip. Is this her chance to prove the old Fern still exists? After all, it's Just a Simple Little Holiday. What could possibly go wrong? A cosy mystery series with a hint of psychopath
