Life doesn't always go to plan . . .

After a messy breakup and a nightmare boss, Kate swaps the chaos of London for the calm of Starry Cove-the charming seaside village she loved as a child. She arrives hoping for peace and a fresh start. But life has other plans: Kate soon discovers she's going to be a mother.

As she navigates small-town life (and morning sickness), Kate finds friendship in the 'coastal girls'-a warm, welcoming group who help her land a job with Piers, the reclusive owner of the local manor. He's guarded, grumpy and impossible to read... but there's more to him than meets the eye.

As feelings grow and secrets slowly come to light, Kate must decide if s he's ready to open her heart again-and whether Starry Cove could be the home she's been searching for all along.
