'Let me tell you this book is truly beautiful and such a lovely read' ★★★★★ Reader ReviewAn opportunity of a lifetime…

When Jenny has the chance to leave her days of sofa surfing behind and move to the beach to run her best friend’s ice cream parlour, she jumps at the opportunity.

With no relevant experience, she’s certainly kept busy with learning new skills to manage the ice cream parlour at the same time as juggling motherhood and trying to settle into their new home.

But when Nick, her best friend’s ex, comes into her life, ill feelings quickly turn to friendship, leaving them both wanting more.

Can Jenny put her feelings aside or will truths be told that might change her mind about her and Nick’s future?

A story of community, trust and the importance of friendship, perfect for fans of Holly Martin, Jessica Redland and Polly Babbington.
