♥♥'''Welcome to Seagull Bay♥♥♥
A brand new cosy English seaside town romance series brimming with friendships. These heartwarming stories find familiar characters returning time and time again, where every new blossoming romance sees townsfolk of varying ages finding love.
Dr Anika Patel has spent her life being the good daughter, the reliable doctor, the woman who never causes trouble. But when her parents begin pushing harder for an arranged marriage she can never accept, Anika does the one thing no one expects—she leaves.A fresh start in the cosy coastal town of Seagull Bay should give her room to breathe. Instead, she finds herself working long hours at the local surgery, dodging worried calls from home, and keeping the biggest part of herself hidden from the family who think they know her best.
Veterinarian Samantha Hawkins knows all about long hours. Between farm emergencies, anxious pet owners and late-night call-outs, she barely has time to eat, let alone fall in love. Her last relationship ended because she was always needed elsewhere, and she has promised herself she will never let anyone feel second-best again.
Then a winter emergency at Poppy Farm throws the overworked doctor and the exhausted vet together. What begins as professional respect soon turns into something warmer: shared coffees, snow-dusted walks, stolen smiles, and the unsettling feeling that they may finally have found someone who understands the weight of being needed by everyone.
But Anika is still hiding the truth from her parents, and Samanthais terrified her busy life will break another heart. As Christmas approaches and Seagull Bay gathers around them, both women must decide whether love is another demand on their already stretched lives—or the safe place they have both been searching for.
A heartwarming winter romance about courage, family expectations, second chances, and finding love where you least expect it.
