Aphrodite’s Swimsuit by Georgia Scott

Rough Water Books are pleased to announce the publication of a new book for 2026 by Georgia Scott, author of American Girl: Memories That Made Me.

Aphrodite’s Swimsuit: A swim has repercussions which neither of them could have foreseen. 1995. The Baltic coast. Days are warm. The Cold War is done. What’s a diplomat to do but learn the language, get a tan, and fall in love? Anthony Prentice, pronounced Antony, is tall, dark, handsome and smart except when it comes to mixing drinks. At a beach party, he invites a married woman for a swim not realizing until too late the risk that she takes. “Aphrodite” as he calls her, tells her side of that night and the consequences which saying yes have for the rest of her life.

A reverse age gap affair. A forbidden romance. Aphrodite’s Swimsuit is a warning.

Available in paperback from Amazon and other leading book stores.
