About this listen

‘Her best yet - romantic, real and compelling’ Phillipa Ashley

Welcome to Halfmoon Quay, the picture-perfect village clinging to the edge of the Cornish coast

Everyone knows Rick Penrose is the person in the village to turn to for help. Friendly and reliable, not to mention drop-dead gorgeous, he’ll do anything for anyone. When his teenage crush Anya moves back to the quay for a fresh start, he has the perfect solution. She needs a job and his great uncle needs help to run his hotel. It’s a win-win.

Following the death of her husband, Anya Stokes discovered everything about her life was a lie. Without her beautiful home and the luxuries she took for granted, Anya and her daughter, Freya, have no choice but to move in with her aunt and uncle in Halfmoon Quay.

As she begins to turn her life around, Anya realises the perfect man might have been right under her nose all the time. But there’s a fine line between helping and taking over and Rick doesn’t always know where it is. Then Anya discovers he’s been keeping things from her and it’s like the past is repeating itself…

Head to the glorious Cornish coast with bestseller Sarah Bennett for this unashamedly heartwarming and uplifting listen. Perfect for all fans of Cathy Bramley, Katie Fforde and Phillipa Ashley.

A lovely story line that allows you to escape to the beautiful south. Gutted that I couldn’t jump straight to the sequel.
