THE BRAND NEW CORNISH NOVEL FROM BESTSELLING AUTHOR HILARY BOYD

Peggy Gilbert wasn’t quite ready to leave London behind. But partner Ted’s yearning for a fresh start has led to a leap into the unknown.

Life on the Cornish coast hasn’t quite been what she expected; despite the healing sea breeze, she yearns for the bright lights of the city.
But when neighbour Lindy offers her a lifeline, she finally begins to embrace village life, basking in the friendship of someone who seems to be its beating heart. But beneath Lindy’s seemingly perfect surface simmer secrets that are soon threatening Peggy’s future in Pencarrow Bay.
Can she fight to remain in the community she has come to love? And save her future with Ted?

Perfect for fans of Phillipa Ashley, Jill Mansell, Jenny Colgan and Trisha Ashley
