The Cornish Cottage by the Sea

A new start by the sea...

For Jo Jenkins, life has always been about putting others first. But with her children grown and her ex-husband as rotten as ever, she knows it's time to put herself at the heart of the story. So, when she inherits a beautiful beachside cottage in Cornwall, she grabs the chance to start over.

The crumbling old cottage needs a little love, but so does Jo. And with the help of her new friends - a kind-hearted jeweller, a no-nonsense businesswoman, and a local Jack of all trades with a past of his own - Jo begins to rebuild more than just bricks and mortar.

But tucked away inside the cottage is a secret that could change everything. As the waves roll in and the sea air clears her mind, Jo must decide if she's ready to let go of the past. Will she finally learn to embrace the life she truly deserves?

Escape to the windswept shores of Cornwall in this heartwarming story of love, friendship, and fresh starts. Perfect for fans of Jill Mansell, Phillipa Ashley, and Emma Burstall.
