What to expect
The perfect treat for fans of Poldark, Dilly Court and Downton Abbey - discover the second in a heartwarming new series set in the 1920s in a glamorous hotel on the Cornish Riviera . . .
Welcome to Fox Bay Hotel, where family fortunes rise and fall . . .
1929, Cornwall. Fiona Fox, youngest child of the celebrated Fox family, is a devoted volunteer at the local lifeboat station, giving all her free time and her energy to the selfless crew. But when she seizes a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to do more, she sets in motion a chain of events that sparks danger and intrigue at Fox Bay Hotel.
The stranger she brings into her family home provides an unsettling presence over Christmas, and when visiting 'Hollywood Royalty' is drawn into the web, Fiona has to decide how much her promises are worth after all.
But the glamorous visitors have their own secrets, and their own reasons for hiding out at Fox Bay. As those reasons become apparent, Fiona must choose between betraying a close friend, and keeping her word... And lives are at stake whichever way she turns.
Set against the dramatic Cornish coastline, this tale of secrets and strangers will delight fans of Rosie Goodwin and Evie Grace.

Critics Review
-
Having read the first in the Fox Bay series, I couldn't wait to read the sequel. It was great to meet up again with the amazing, well drawn characters from the first book and see what the future holds for them, especially the younger daughter, Fiona, who comes into her own in this story. The cast is also swelled by more fascinating characters in this intriguing saga that is full of twists and turns. As before, the author's style is natural and well expressed, dialogue and characterisation spot on. Her descriptions of the Cornish countryside and seascape - and the weather - made me feel as if I was there. A brilliant read, and I can't wait to find out what happens in book three.
