What to expect

'Making Waves at River View Cottage is a delightful, well-written novel in an idyllic setting. What more could you ask for?' Jo Bartlett

Life doesn’t always give you a second chance to make another choice…

Cassie Lewis, a widow for over 20 years has begun to realise there must be more to life.
In-between working at the family boatyard in picture perfect Dartmouth and raising two children, she wonders where the years have gone.
Both her children, Tom and Polly, have inherited their father’s love of sailing and currently Tom is preparing for a gruelling round the world race. When an accident forces Tom to pull out, Polly, to Cassie’s horror, insists she is capable of taking his place.
As Polly prepares for the race, Cassie unexpectedly finds herself with two keen and eligible men vying for her love.
With her BIG 5-0 birthday approaching Cassie knows she has some big decisions to make but will the worry over Polly’s safe return, cloud her judgement?


A wonderful escape to the beautiful harbour of Dartmouth, Perfect for the fans of Lucy Coleman, Jo Thomas and Sue Roberts
Originally published in 2003 as Call of the Sea
