What to expect
They've both been burned by love before, but will they take a second chance?
A year on from the demise of an unhappy marriage, Kate Stretton grabs the opportunity to move to the other end of the country and start afresh in Cornwall with her teenage daughter, Mollie. Unused to the slower pace of life, Kate leaps at the chance to take on Polkerran Point's ailing annual arts and music festival.
Soon, though, she locks horns with local Rick Devonshire, the main sponsor for the festival. Rick's marriage has fallen apart in spectacular fashion, and the last thing he needs is Kate pushing to go against the festival's traditions.
Between unhelpful locals, taunting messages from her ex and trying to be present for her daughter, Kate's life is rapidly spiralling out of her control. It will take the whole village to make the festival a success, but with her determination and growing friendship with Rick, she might just do it…
A sweet and emotional romance for fans of Trisha Ashley, Jo Bartlett and Phillipa Ashley.
