Would You Like A Sneak Peek into An Island Heatwave?

October 28, 2022 by Helena Halme

I’m afraid I’ve had to postpone the publication of An Island Heatwave, Book 6 in the Love on the Island series. The good news is that you can now take a sneak peek into the forthcoming novel. Scroll down to find out more.

Why I Postponed the Publication Date

Some of you may know that I recently traveled to the Åland Islands (where the Love on the Island series is set) because my stepdad was seriously ill. Sadly he lost his fight with cancer last Sunday.

There is also serious illness in the Englishman’s side of the family, which after nearly forty years of marriage is my family too.

All of this means that I’m not able to complete the edits to An Island Heatwave in time to publish the book at the end of this month. Due to the strict (and rightly so) Amazon rules on preorders, I’ve had to unpublish the title. The book is nearly ready and just needs a couple of rounds of editing, but I am not able to concentrate on writing at the moment.

I’d rather give out a good story than rush the process when my mind is elsewhere.

An Island Heatwave will be out in the spring of 2023.  If you pre-ordered a copy, Amazon will refund you. (You should already have been recompensated.)

I’m sorry you have to wait a bit longer for the book to come out. I hope that when you do eventually get to read it, you’ll love it!

A Sneak Peek

I’m pleased to let you know that you can now download an exclusive sneak peek into the new novel. You can read the first chapter of An Island Heatwave by tapping on the link here: https://dl.bookfunnel.com/i6vw9bgwvy

A heatwave on the beautiful Scandinavian islands brings relationships to the verge of a breakdown.

Alicia is happily reunited with her husband, surgeon Liam, but her ex-lover, Swedish reporter Patrick, can’t accept their affair is over.

Young single mom Frida and her Romanian lover are trying to find a way to be together. There are many obstacles in the way, not least her recent inheritance which Andrei thinks is tainted.
The unwelcome reappearance of an all-too-familiar Russian fugitive brings more trouble for the islanders.

As the heat rises, secrets are unraveled, and one woman’s life takes an unexpected turn.

Chapter One of An Island Heatwave is only available to my Reader’s Group, so I will ask you to sign up to my mailing list. Naturally, you can unsubscribe at any time.

I hope you enjoy this exclusive sneak peek into my forthcoming novel!
