Even when you’re lost, love can find you . . .
Sometimes it takes losing everything to find the person you need . . .
Most people travel to Croatia for its endless sunshine, pebbly beaches and crystal clear sea.
Kate goes there to disappear.
She needs to escape from a life that has fallen apart in spectacular and public fashion, and no one on the beautiful island of Hvar knows who she is or what she’s running away from.
Until she meets another lonely soul.
Alex is different to any man Kate has ever known, yet the connection between them is undeniable. She soon begins to open up in ways she never has before – not even to herself. But Kate is not the only person in Hvar hiding secrets. And, as she is about to discover, it is always only a matter of time before the truth catches up with you . . .

I loved this evocative, emotional and escapist read
I absolutely loved it - the romantic, evocative escape everyone needs this summer
Lovely characters, a wonderful setting, a beautiful story. Insightful and sensitive - Isabelle Broom at her very best.
Q: What do you get if you cross a born travel writer with an incurable romantic? A: The novels of Isabelle Broom. With its shimmering setting and heart-swelling, offbeat romance plot, The Getaway is exactly that - a much-needed, totally immersive escape from real life. I loved it
A one-way ticket to sunshine and romance, the story of two people finding each other and - in doing so - learning how to live. Uplifting, funny and full of heart, Kate and Alex's story is as addictive as sunset cocktails, full of characters you want to meet and settings that make you want to jump on the next plane to Croatia. It is compelling, beautiful and wholeheartedly romantic. An absolute delight.
A gorgeous, warm-hearted love story, beautifully depicted and filled with characters you'll fall for . . . the very best of tantalising and escapist fiction, set against the heavenly backdrop of Croatia. A compelling read about self-discovery, sun and secrets I found impossible to put down
A breathtaking romance in a stunning location: the perfect summer escape. I adored The Getaway and I think I'm in love with Croatia too!
The Getaway is even better than the real thing. Vivid, funny, tender and warm - no, hot! Red hot. A simply stunning setting and a gloriously romantic plot that will put a smile on your face. Isabelle Broom always sweeps you away
Evocative and escapist, I feel like I got to travel to Croatia from my sofa! Isabelle writes such warm, relatable characters. I inhaled this.
This is armchair travel at its best
A sunny location, a smart plot and a dash of romance - perfect escapism
This escapist novel is the ray of sunshine we all need in our lives!
An absolute treat of a book that made us long to be on a beach!
This joyful slice of sunshine is exactly what we need in our lives right now
Romantic and charming, it will whisk you away to sunnier climes
We couldn't turn the pages fast enough reading this - a brilliant story
This escapist novel is the ray of sunshine we all need in our lives!
A reminder of when you could just hop on a flight to the beautiful coast of Croatia
An emotional, romantic read
A treat of a book that made us long to be on a beach
Isabelle Broom excels at writing about exotic locations and this engrossing tale is the perfect summer escape
