‘Polly Babbington creates utterly magical books.’

The delightfully romantic and heartwarming tale of a new life in Pretty Beach, get ready to completely lose yourself in a cosy, old house and sweet love story on the coast this summer.

A sweeping, sparkly blue beach town surrounded by water, crisscrossed with sweet old laneways, filled with wonderful characters and overlooked by a quaint old blue and white lighthouse.

We meet the lovely Sallie Broadchurch and follow her bringing back to life an unloved old boathouse - pretty, forty and very much looking for a new life by the sea.

Holly and Xian are the gorgeous owners of the Pretty Beach Bakery, along with Holly’s son Rory, a doctor in the city and Sallie’s best friend Nina. Top it all off with Ben Chalmers, dashing owner of Ben Chalmers Seaplanes, a lot of history behind him and wondering quite what’s happening when a new neighbour arrives in his little town by the sea.

Fall in love at Pretty Beach with the perfect romantic story to escape for summer 2021.

'Polly just keeps giving such fantastic stories with amazing characters. I just can’t wait for the next book.' G. Harry, Amazon Reviewer.

Summer Weddings. We catch up with Sallie Broadchurch who followed her heart to a new life, new friends and an old house by the sea. She didn’t think it could get much better… until she met Ben Chalmers, the dashing pilot who just so happened to live next door and her life took an unexpected turn she hadn’t seen coming.

We follow the next part of her journey as she settles into her new world with a beautiful old orangery, the bonniest baby in Pretty Beach, a society wedding and it seems as if her dream life really has come true.

But not everything is as simple as it seems and when Sallie starts receiving unwanted messages she realises not quite everyone is as happy as she is and Pretty Beach begins to take on a whole new look.

‘5 stars all the way yet again for another wonderful read.’ JudeP Amazon Reviewer

Winter in Pretty Beach. The delightfully romantic story of Pretty Beach continues as the sweet, little coastal town is covered in a blanket of snow.

Sallie Broadchurch upped sticks from the drudge of her old life, was swept off her feet by a dashing pilot and is undoubtedly living the dream with her own wedding business, a gorgeous old boat house by the sea and a vintage orangery she’s bought all ready to host events.

Then, when luck comes her way she finds herself creating a winter wonderland at the Orangery on the beach. But not everything is quite as dreamy as she thought… and real life throws up a few problems.

Will Sallie and Ben get what they really want for Christmas or will fate deal a blow that will overturn all their plans?
