One seaside town. One fresh start. And the last man she expected to fall for.

When Izzy Bishop’s life in London unravels, she escapes to the charming seaside town of Sturcombe Bay. A temporary teaching post at the village primary school, a cottage by the sea and the promise of quiet mornings on the beach. It's everything she needs to put herself back together.

Then she meets the builder next door.

Dan Tuckett is charming and far too sure of himself. He turns up at all the wrong moments, says all the wrong things, and gets under Izzy's skin from the second they meet. She's sworn off men — and she's certainly not falling for this one.

But when Dan's shy nephew, Connor, walks into her classroom, Izzy catches a glimpse of the man beneath the teasing grin. He’s protective and gentle and the more time they spend together the harder it becomes to ignore the spark between them.

Both Izzy and Dan are nursing broken hearts. But sometimes a fresh start can lead to the one thing you never expected — a second chance at love.

A warm, uplifting small-town romance about second chances, friendship and finding love where you least expect it. Perfect for fans of Sarah Morgan, Phillipa Ashley, Katie Fforde, Millie Johnson, Emma Bennet, Jill Mansell, Heidi Swain and Jenny Colgan.
