One seaside town. One fresh start. And the last man she ever expected to fall for.
When Izzy Bishop’s life unravels in London, she escapes to the charming seaside town of Sturcombe Bay. She hopes a temporary teaching job at the local primary school will give her space to start again.
Life by the sea is exactly what Izzy needs. Warm, welcoming neighbours, a cosy café on the seafront and quiet beaches where she can finally relax.
If only the builder renovating the cottage next door wasn’t so determined to get under her skin.
Dan Tuckett is confident, charming and undeniably frustrating, and their first encounter leaves Izzy determined to steer clear of him.
But when Dan’s shy young nephew, Connor, joins Izzy’s class, she begins to see a different side to him — the caring, protective man behind the teasing smile. And the more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to ignore the spark between them.
Both Izzy and Dan are nursing broken hearts. But sometimes a fresh start can lead to the one thing you never expected — a second chance at love.
About Susanne McCarthy
I'm a Londoner, though I haven't lived there for many years. But if you're born a Londoner you're always a Londoner. And what could be better than growing up in London in the 60s? The clubs, the live music, the shops - all now passed into legend.
I got fed up with school and left before taking my A levels. Over the next few years I had lots of jobs - measuring fabric in Jones and Higgins in Peckham, cleaning chalets at Butlins Bognor Regis, even a short stint in the Civil Service. Then I decided it was time to grow up, so I went to Liverpool to train as a teacher. I loved life at University, but I wasn't so keen on teaching, so I switched to adult education, which suited me fine.
Shortly after I met my husband we moved to Shropshire, where we lived on the side of a hill with a series of rescued Afghan Hounds, a couple of small terriers, some cats, some birds, some fish, and an iguana called Spike.
A few years ago we decided to move to Devon. My husband is a Devonian, and had always wanted to come home. And me... I wanted to live near the sea. So now we are settled here in South Devon, a twenty minute stroll from the beach. And I love it!
