Wanting nothing more than to be a normal, independent twenty-something living it up in ol'' London town, Kate finds herself a prisoner in her grandmother''s Kensington terrace, daydreaming about the holiday that could have been. But when Kate is almost run over by the ridiculously good looking Jack Baker, it leaves her wondering if being out and about is such a good idea after all, especially when she catches herself laughing at his jokes.

I will be desperately waiting for part 2 in September.'' Samantha on Goodreads ''Again Ms Duggan had created a winner. Paradise City was a perfect introduction to the series and characters. I was left needing more and it had so much laugh-out-loud fun. This really did have everything from intrigue to addiction, realism of high school antics, steamy sizzles and fast paced readability. I am certainly hooked and desperately want more of all these characters. I highly recommend this to all new adult readers, fan-bloody-tastic!'' Turner''s Antics ''This is my first taste of Duggan''s work and it won''t be the last ... It''s a story that will have you coming back for more.'' Sassy Book Lovers ''convincing and authentic ... Perfect for fans of Abbi Glines and Anna Todd, PARADISE CITY is a fun and exciting read about love, family and surviving high school.'' Fictional Thoughts
