Sunshine and Secrets
Welcome to The Paradise Cookery School – a place where dreams, and chocolate, are made!
When newly heartbroken chef Millie Harper is offered a job overseeing the launch of The Paradise Cookery School, she jumps at the chance. Leaving her ex behind, Millie jets off to the gorgeous villa on a hilltop cocoa plantation in sunny St Lucia.
However, despite the beautiful location, Millie realises she faces a challenge to get the school ready on time. And snippy but handsome estate manager Zach Barker isn’t helping.
As Millie adjusts to the Caribbean pace of life, she discovers her own carefree side in the tropical paradise. But can she fulfil her promise? Or will fun in the sun prove too much of a distraction?
A glorious, uplifting romance that fans of Jenny Oliver and Sandy Barker will love.
Please Sunshine and Secrets was previously published as Sunshine & Secrets at the Paradise Cookery School and has been updated and re-edited for summer 2023.

About the author
Daisy James
37 books165 followersDaisy James loves writing stories with strong heroines and swift-flowing plot-lines. She especially likes to create sunshine-filled settings in exotic locations - the Caribbean, Tuscany, Cornwall, Provence - so she can spend her time envisioning her characters enjoying the fabulous scenery and sampling the local food and drink.
When not scribbling away in her peppermint-and-green summerhouse (garden shed), she spends her time sifting flour and sprinkling sugar and edible glitter. She loves gossiping with friends over a glass of something fizzy or indulging in a spot of afternoon tea - china plates and teacups are a must.

It's a romcom, & U anticipate the ending, but, it's the way it gets there that counts, makes it very difficult to put down.
