What to expect
A BRAND NEW instalment in the gorgeously romantic Halfmoon Quay series from top ten bestseller Sarah Bennett, perfect for fans of Cathy Bramley, Katie Fforde and Phillipa Ashley š š¦
Is home always where the heart is? āØ
Running a cafĆ© by the sea in Halfmoon Quay should be a dream job for Issy Kernow, but the view reminds her of everything sheās lost since her parentsā death. Sheās relied on no one but herself and her eccentric grandmother, Maud. But as Maud finds unexpected love, Issy begins to feel restless and lonely. Could it be time for a change?
Liam Penrose has always lived up to his familyās expectations, but after a failed relationship and a job he hates, life in London isnāt fulfilling. When a gift from his great-uncle offers the chance to take over a run-down hotel in Halfmoon Quay, Liam is torn. Returning home means a career changeāand a chance to reconnect with Issy, his teenage love who slipped away years ago. Is it too late for Liam to risk everything and return to the life he once dreamed of?
In this heart-lifting story of love and second chances, will Issy and Liam discover that, when everything changes around them, some things were always meant to be?
