The amazing June Patrick has penned another commercial hit, THE VALENCIA EXPAT CLUB, available today in audiobook from Simon Maverick and in ebook and print wherever books are sold.
A juicy, heartwarming novel set against stunning Spanish settings, where delicious food, romantic adventures, and the transformative magic of starting over in Spain lead Dahlia Delaney to uncover family, friendship, self-discovery, and an unexpected new beginning.
Dahlia Delaney’s marriage just imploded, her friend group picked a side (not hers), and her fancy San Francisco life now fits into a single suitcase. Armed with a broken heart, a freelance marketing gig, and one blurry childhood memory of her abuela’s garden, she impulsively hops on a flight to Valencia, Spain, to reconnect with distant family—and maybe herself.
But Valencia isn’t just sunny plazas and sangria. There’s her chaotic new job at a quirky expat bar, a family she barely knows but who embrace her like she’s always belonged, and a brooding American bar owner who’s frustratingly attractive and entirely too familiar.
As Dahlia stumbles through language mishaps, clashing cultures, and late-night paella with new friends, she begins to realize that the fresh start she came for might turn into something even better—if she can let go of the life she planned and embrace the one unfolding around her.
Perfect for anyone who’s ever dreamed of starting over somewhere with better wine, The Valencia Expat Club is a sparkling, laugh-out-loud romantic escape about second chances, delicious detours, and finding home where you least expect it.
June Patrick writes witty, escapist stories and book club fiction set in swoony, faraway places. From the glittering beaches of the French Riviera to sultry Spanish nights, she’ll steal you away to your dream destination.
She is obsessed with all things European and dreams of moving to the Riviera where she can run around all day like Grace Kelly.
A Northern California native and reformed nomad, she now calls Colorado home with her husband and toddler, where they begrudgingly battle snow.
