Summer at the Cornish Garden Cafe
(2025)(A book in the Cornish Garden Cafe series)
A novel by Rachel Griffiths
Come to Cornwall and spend some time at the charming Cornish Garden Café. Surrounded by a beautiful, peaceful garden, the café is a haven at any time of the year. Breathe in the clean sea air, listen to the waves crashing against the shore and relax while you sip a refreshing drink and enjoy a tasty bite to eat…
Freelance journalist, Lena Teller, is renting a cottage in Cornwall for the summer. After a few challenging years, she’s decided to start writing her first romance novel and feels that three months of sun, sea, and cream teas will be the perfect inspiration.
Former professional footballer, Thomas Dryden, comes to stay in Cornwall with his sister, Marnie, and her family. Following an accident that left him with both physical and mental scars, he felt he had no choice but to quit the game. Thomas isn’t sure what comes next but knows that he needs to recover and spending some time in Cornwall seems like a good first step.
When Lena and Thomas meet, there’s a spark of attraction but both are wary. Their backgrounds are very different, and they both have heavy emotional baggage. Just as it seems like romance is blossoming, a story about Thomas appears online and he withdraws while he tries to work out if Lena has betrayed him.
Will Lena and Thomas find a way to trust each other, or will their doubts mean that this was never going to be more than a summer fling?
