Lexi is looking for no-strings-attached fun with a stranger. She deserves one night for herself, doesn't she?

Zeke is looking for love. But for one night with a woman like Lexi, he'll break his rules . . .

Sparks fly at the pub, one passionate kiss leads to another and they end up stumbling home to the marina together.

The next morning, hungover and shaken by an amazing night together, Lexi is more than ready for Zeke to leave. There's just one small problem . . . the houseboat they stayed on has been swept out to sea.

As their supplies start to run dangerously low, and the waves pick up, Zeke and Lexi soon realise there's much more on the line than their new relationship.

How long can they really survive on a drifting houseboat in the North Sea? Will search and rescue find them? And who will they be if they both make it back to dry land?

Swept Away blew me away. It’s a seriously good book. It packs a pinch as a rom com /chick lit type book, sure, but it’s got so much more depth to it than that. The author has taken a fascinating plot line and layered it with detailed character analysis and social commentary. Beth O’Leary knows how to create an interesting character but this time she has taken them into the realms of representing modern gender perspectives and she has done it without being preachy or obvious or condescending. This is her best book yet.
