Kelsey Summers is looking for love in all the wrong places…
Spending a few months travelling around Europe – with no parents, no responsibilities and a no limit credit card – Kelsey’s having the time of her life.
But when she completely embarrasses herself in front of the hottest guy she’s ever seen, she soon realises there’s more to life than the next party.
What she doesn’t realise is that although she’s on a journey to find herself, she will end up finding The One...
The twists and turns of the plot make entertaining reading and keep the pages turning right to the last one.
