It’s no use having a good plan when life gets in the way. Hotel manager Lene learns this the hard way when she catches her boyfriend cheating with her best friend. But things get even worse when she suddenly loses her job. What will happen to her dream of owning a hotel?

An unexpected inheritance lures Lene from the Allgäu to Sylt at just the right time. But why does it have to be a run-down guesthouse? And with a grumpy Viking neighbor to boot? Yet, it would be a shame if she let that deter her, as she has plans for the proceeds from the sale of the inn.

Neighbor Jasper unexpectedly turns out to be a helpful ally in the renovation work. He also repeatedly engages Lene in deep conversations about the meaning and absurdity of plans, where their opinions couldn’t be more different. Despite everything, her heart races every time she sees him.

An unexpected offer ultimately throws all her plans into disarray, and in the end, the question arises of how much spontaneity life can really handle when the heart has a say too. A charming summer novel for comfort and dreaming! "Island Love on Sylt" is the beginning of the Island Dreams on Sylt series by bestselling author Julia K. Rodeit.

Julia K. Rodeit is the pseudonym of crime author Katrin Rodeit, who lives with her family on the edge of the Swabian Jura. Since murdering people became quite exhausting and sometimes boring, she decided to reveal her romantic side as Julia K. Rodeit. She now mainly takes her readers to her favorite region: the German coast. Her sensitive love stories, sprinkled with a good dose of humor and deep emotions, regularly top the bestseller lists.
