Summary

Under the golden Cornish sun, buried treasure and family secrets will change Emma’s life forever…

Emma loved her life in the seaside village of Silver Cove. But when the discovery of sunken treasure ignited a feud between her family and that of Luke, her first love, everything fell apart. Heartbroken and betrayed, she fled.

Now, as she wades into the sparkling surf for the first time in fifteen years, she remembers everything she loved about this beautiful place. Then a huge wave knocks her off her feet. Dripping wet, Emma is rescued by none other than Luke – who is, to her dismay, even more handsome than ever.

As their paths continue to cross, and Emma is reminded of everything she ran away from, she starts to wonder if returning home was a huge mistake.

Or could the real treasure have been waiting here for her all along?

A heart-warming read full of sun, sea, friendship and romance perfect for fans of Sarah Morgan and Trisha Ashley.

A perfect summer escape

Phillipa Ashley never lets me down. Another wonderful story that left me feeling warmed by the hidden beauty of life and the world around us, the amazing things we take for granted and the power of friendship.

Olivia Darnley’s narration helped to bring the story to life with the perfectly paced flow of storytelling, dramatic tones and accents.

I thoroughly enjoyed this and recommend it to anybody looking for a feel-good story that feels real.

Another lovely feelgood book

Another lovely episode in the life of Falford from the pen of an author who makes Cornwall come alive for her readers. Each of her books gently educates as the background to the plot and her characters are genuine and credible. The narrator does a good job of differentiating between voices which for the audio listener is vital.
Five stars all the way

I absolutely loved it

This book is absolutely fantastic, you are whisked away to the beautiful Cornish places. What a great story, I loved how the story twist and turned and went back to past to tell the story of the two main characters. All characters in the book main or supporting were fantastic and just added to this book. I wished it could go on and on, and was so pleased there was an epilogue so you can tie all end up and finish the story. I would recommend this book to all, what a great way to escape a few hours listening to or reading this book, another gem by Phillipa Ashley.

Pure escapism! I was whisked away to beautiful Cornwall and I could almost smell the sea air. The characters were believable, and I felt I was there watching the story play out. A compelling read
