Love is the hardest game.

Olivia escapes London to overcome memories of heartbreak, and moves to Appleton Vale to ghostwrite the autobiography of former world number one golfer and global icon, Sebastian Bloom.

But he doesn't make things easy for her; Olivia is not ready for a new relationship, and fights her feelings for Sebastian.

Their story comes to a head at the most prestigious golf tournament in the world, The Open Championship, where Sebastian's return to form sets up an explosive clash with his lifelong rival, Troy McLoud.

As the lives of Olivia, Sebastian and the residents of Appleton Vale interweave, passions flare and stakes rise.

The Sweet Spot is a classic love story set in the sleepy West Country village of Appleton Vale, and in the glittering world of professional golf.
