What poured out couldn't be taken back...
Clara returns to the heat of summer-this time in the Portuguese countryside, where the air tastes like wine and memory lingers in every glance. Among stone houses, vineyards, and strangers with watchful eyes, she begins to unravel again.
A wedding invitation leads to unexpected intimacy: a grip in the dark, an encounter beneath linen, the soft press of a woman's mouth, and the quiet surrender to a stranger's bed. What begins as curiosity spills into something deeper, more vulnerable-something Clara may not be able to contain.
Spill is a literary summer novella for readers drawn to emotional depth, sensual transformation, and the lingering ache of desire. The second book in Isabel Clarke's That Summer series, it blends poetic storytelling with intimate atmosphere-for fans of Ana s Nin, European summers, and stories where memory clings like skin.
