Chance Encounters. Forbidden Desires. Unforeseen Consequences.
Tiffany, Lisa and Kelly have just sat their A levels and are heading to Cornwall for the summer of their lives. Tiffany and Lisa have packed enough Joop perfume to last the season - no parents, no curfews, they can't wait to party. Kelly, on the other hand, has packed factor 50 and a stack of guidebooks to Cornwall's ancient sites. She can't wait to explore every single one of them. Their idea of a holiday in Cornwall couldn't be more miles apart. Watching her two best friends apply and reapply lip gloss since the M5, Kelly had a sinking feeling about how this summer might just unfold.
Ron is a self-made Cornish builder with an ego and a hot tub to match. Monica was his secretary once - a single mother who fought hard for everything she has. Now she shares his life. She knows they are made for each other. Ron, for some reason, hasn't figured that out yet.
Lucy Morrell could have had anyone. She chose Marcus. Working class Marcus, who gave her everything her privileged upbringing taught her to expect. Her mother Mary never quite understood why - and never quite let Lucy forget it. Lucy was part of the Polzeath Set. Marcus chose Fowey for their second home. This summer, with little Georgina between them, chance encounters on the sun-drenched sand slowly reveal a truth that can no longer be ignored.
What could possibly go wrong?
Perfect for fans of Fern Britton, Milly Johnson, Liz Fenwick and Katie Fforde.
