Sometimes the only way forward is to go back.
When Rowan Bellamy s marriage collapses in spectacular style, she retreats with her two children, Bella and Theo, to the last place she ever wanted to return her windswept Cornish hometown of Port Agnes. Taking the headteacher role at the local primary school is the easy part. Facing village gossip, curious neighbours, and old flames? Not so much.
Especially when one of those flames turns out to be Nathan Lark the boy who broke her heart and the man who now has a reputation as bruised as her own. With his young nephew Leo a pupil in Rowan s school, she and Nathan are thrown into each other s lives once more. And whether she likes it or not, the chemistry between them is impossible to ignore.
As salty sea air begins to soothe old wounds and Port Agnes slowly feels like home again, Rowan must decide if she s brave enough to let go of the past and open her heart one more time.
A heartwarming, emotional story of second chances, seaside charm and the healing power of coming home. Let top ten bestseller Jo Bartlett sweep you away with an uplifting, emotional read perfect for fans of Veronica Henry, Sarah Morgan and Cathy Bramley.
