Every book in the Halfmoon Quay series can be read as a standalone.
Sometimes you have to run away to find where you belong...
When Ed Penrose returns to Halfmoon Quay unannounced after months working in the Caribbean, he's just looking forward to sleeping in his own bed. But unbeknown to him, his picturesque cottage by the sea has been rented out to Frankie Webber, the fiercely guarded star of a hit TV show. Frankie fled to Cornwall to escape from the public spotlight so Ed's arrival at her door is both untimely and unwelcome.
Their friendship doesn't get off to the smoothest start, but as Ed helps Frankie discover the magic of a Cornish Christmas, something begins to change. Ed is only home for a few weeks and Frankie's career is waiting in London but as she is swept up in the welcoming warmth of the boisterous Penrose clan, Frankie feels her defences lowering.
Can a man trying to outgrow his reputation as the family liability and a woman afraid of trusting anyone be a match? Or will their chance of a festive romance fade when the new year begins?
It only takes a little Cornish magic to discover the true meaning of Christmas...
The perfect, feel-good, cosy festive romance to curl up with by a roaring fire. Just right for fans of Trisha Ashley, Sarah Morgan, Cathy Bramley and Phillipa Ashley.
