Second Chances at Puffin Cove - An Uplifting Cornish Romance #1012167

She came to Cornwall for one summer. She never expected to find her way home.

Burned out and signed off work after collapsing at a glittering London gala, events manager Ellie Rowntree inherits half of her late grandmother's seafront tea room and boat-trip business in the tiny fishing village of Puffin Cove. There's just one problem: the other half belongs to Sam Pascoe, a gruff boat skipper and widowed dad she never knew existed.

Gran's last letter asks for one thing. Give the tea room a single summer. Open the doors, put the kettle on, and stay until the village regatta in August.

So Ellie rolls up her sleeves. There are scones to perfect, a crumbling building to paint, puffin trips to fill and a whole village of nosy, big-hearted neighbours who seem determined to help. There's ten-year-old Robyn, who counts every puffin on Carrek Island and isn't about to trust anyone who might leave. And there's Sam, quiet and steady, who has already lost too much to risk his heart again.

But Ellie is keeping two secrets: a developer's letter hidden in a drawer, and a dream job waiting for her in London. When a summer storm sweeps in over the cove, she will have to decide what home really means.

Second Chances at Puffin Cove is a sweet, uplifting romance full of sea air, cream teas and found family, with a guaranteed happy ending.
