What to expect
A BRAND NEW romantic, summery getaway read from bestseller Jennifer Bohnet ❤️✨ Perfect for the fans of Jill Mansell and Fern Britton.☀️🏝️
Every moment is a new beginning on the French Riviera 🇫🇷🌼
Five years ago, Adam and Lucy Belgrave took the plunge and bought a sprawling rundown farm in the South of France to bring back to life, much against the advice of Adam’s brother, Elliot.
Today, that dream is becoming a reality and the farm is beginning to thrive and Elliot finds himself grateful for the refuge it provides after his career falters and his marriage fails.
After the death of her beloved granny, a bitter divorce and surprise redundancy - the saying ’sad things come in threes’ resonates with Briony Dymond's life. With her mother by her side, Briony travels to France to learn some news that will change her life completely. Will she have the courage to embrace granny Giselle’s special wishes?
As spring returns to the French Riviera both Elliot and Briony seek to put their pasts behind them and look to find happiness in the future. But can the past give up its hold on the present?
A wonderfully, warm and enchanting tale of new beginnings, second chances and seizing the moment.
