Overview
Each morning as bookseller Florrie Appleton cycles along the promenade of her seaside hometown, watching the surfers far out in the bay, breathing in the fresh salty air, she counts herself lucky. She has a small but picture-perfect cottage overlooking the sea, a group of friends she can always rely on, and the job of her dreams at her favourite bookshop. But when tragedy strikes, her little slice of heaven is in danger of being lost forever.
To save the bookshop from closure, Florrie finds herself thrown together with the elderly owner's handsome grandson, Ed Hartes, who has a habit of making butterflies dance in her stomach. But the only romance Florrie has time for lies within the pages of her favourite novels, and her instincts are telling her to be wary. There's something Ed's keeping from her, and she can't face another heartbreak.
When Florrie stumbles upon a mysterious stash of yellowed letters in the storeroom, it seems Ed isn't the only one with secrets. The old bookshop is full of stories waiting to be told and they aren't only within the pages of the books....
An uplifting, emotional feel-good read, perfect for fans of Jessica Redland, Jenny Colgan and Phillipa Ashley.
