Secrets and Second-Chances at Saffron Bay: An uplifting, heartwarming story of love and second chances
When Alice Loveday inherits a tumble-down seaside cottage from the father she never knew, she leaves behind city life and heads for the picturesque Cornish village of Saffron Bay. But the tight-knit community isn’t as welcoming as she’d hoped, and the Loveday name still carries the shadow of a scandal no one wants to speak of.
Determined to make a fresh start, Alice throws herself into restoring the cottage, and into village life. But the more she learns about her father’s past, the more she realises that some secrets in Saffron Bay run deep. And when she crosses paths with Luke Richards, the kind local builder with a complicated history of his own, Alice must decide whether to guard her heart or risk opening it to love, and the possibility of belonging.
As storms roll across the coast and old wounds are laid bare, Alice discovers that second chances can come from the most unexpected places... and that sometimes, coming home is the bravest thing of all.

Overall I enjoyed the book, however some of the plot twists were easily guessed. Lots of likeable characters, lovely setting, and heartwarming ending.
