New Release: A Season in the Sun is a beautifully nostalgic novel of adventure, first love and discovery!
Thomas Bennett appears to have his future mapped out. Cambridge awaits, his family expects great things, and a safe, respectable life lies ahead. Yet Thomas cannot escape the feeling that another life is waiting somewhere beyond England.
Leaving home to work for Sunshine Holidays on Spain’s Costa Brava, Thomas steps into a world that is exhilarating, unpredictable, and completely unfamiliar. From the lively hotels and beaches of Lloret de Mar to the quieter streets and hidden corners beyond the resorts, this is where independence is first discovered and life begins to take a different direction.
What begins as a single season overseas soon becomes something far more meaningful. Long days navigating hotel life, welcome meetings, excursions, and demanding holidaymakers are balanced by laughter, friendship, romance, and a freedom Thomas has never experienced before.
But beneath the Mediterranean sunshine lies something deeper. As a connection with a local girl draws him closer to the real Costa Brava, Thomas begins to question whether the future chosen for him is the future he truly wants.
Warm, nostalgic, and deeply evocative, A Season in the Sun captures the golden age of overseas travel, before smartphones and social media, when friendships were formed face to face, experiences were lived fully in the moment, and an entire life could change beneath another sky.
The first novel in Wesley Baker’s Sunshine Seasons series, this is an uplifting story of adventure, first love, finding your own path, and one unforgettable summer that changes everything.
