’What a lovely warm feeling this book gave me, I loved the storyline loved the characters – would recommend.’ NetGalley Reviewer
Escape with a feel-good romance that will warm your heart this summer!
Emily Hendrickson is tired of being the wedding guest and never the bride. Working at her local paper as a wedding columnist, she can’t wait to write her own happy-ever-after.
When she bumps into her childhood sweetheart Calvin Albright, her world is knocked off balance. Calvin has returned to the quiet town of Hebblestone desperate for a fresh start. After his wife tragically died two years ago, he wants nothing more than to find a new home and settle down with his son, Isaac.
Isaac can see how lonely his dad is – he’s determined to help him find love again and complete their family…
Uploading a video to his blog in search of a new girlfriend for his dad, he convinces Emily to use the local paper to make the video viral and sift through the potential candidates.
But as the letters to Calvin begin to flood in, could the promise of love be closer to home than they think?

Story
April Statham had it all - until her husband left her for a blonde 10 years her junior. Now she’s 35, single and starting again. So she does what anyone in her position would do: she impulsively invests her life savings in the chalet park she used to visit as a child, on the beautiful Cornish Coast. The Shady Pines Chalet Park is...ramshackle. But it has one big advantage - it is as far as physically possible from April’s ex, his new fiancée and her old life. With gorgeous handyman Cillian O’Leary, April is looking forward to the challenge.

When Elodie applies for the job of librarian in peaceful Willow Grove, she’s looking forward to a new start. As the daughter of a media empire, her every move has been watched for years, and she longs to work with the thing she loves most: books. It’s a chance to make a real difference, too, because she soon realises that there are other people in Willow Grove who might need a fresh start—like the homeless man everyone walks past without seeing, or the divorcée who can’t seem to escape her former husband’s misdeeds.
