Coming face to face with your first love - now a property tycoon - is a terrible idea when you're menopausal, freshly divorced, and the manager of a crumbling holiday park on the edge of heaven, that would make a great addition to his portfolio. Ali Royall arrives at
Cornflower Cove desperate for a fresh start. After walking away from her failing marriage and a stressful high-powered career, managing her oldest friend's struggling holiday village on the stunning Dorset coast feels like the peaceful reset she needs.
Quiet mornings. Stunning views. Sea air. No drama. Until
Nick Aster walks back into her life.
Twenty-five years ago, Nick was the man Ali loved most - until he broke her heart. Now he's a devastatingly handsome property developer with a dangerous smile, a talent for getting under her skin and plans to buy the very holiday village she's determined to save.
Nick says it's business. Ali knows it's personal.
As Cornflower Cove fights to survive, old wounds reopen and long-buried feelings refuse to stay buried. Between forced proximity, late-night planning meetings, simmering arguments, seaside chaos, family secrets, and chemistry hot enough to rival the Dorset summer, resisting Nick becomes almost impossible.
But trusting him again? That could destroy her.
