Mabel’s summers were always idyllic. Every year she travelled with her mum to the beautiful seaside town of Riversley On Sea. With its horseshoe bay and stunning lighthouse, it had been a haven for holidaymakers for generations. This year was no exception as they headed to Owl Cottage, her grandparent’s B&B, with the newest member of the family, Sprocket, the Old English Sheepdog.
Her grandad had taught her photography from an early age and after an unexpected encounter with Tim, the new handyman, Mabel heads off to take her first picture of summer. She frames the lighthouse in her lens and once again spies the elderly lady looking wistfully out to sea. Who is she?
Unpacking her things, leads to a surprise find of her great grandmother’s old love letters and along with the help of Tim, Mabel seeks to discover who the mystery E is and why her family won’t talk about the lighthouse.

In the late 1980s, Daniel and his family have just arrived at Owl Cottage for their annual summer holiday. But this year is very different, this year Daniel has promised himself that he’ll tell the girl he loves how he feels about her.
As childhood friendship blossoms into first love, Daniel’s holiday is soon coming to an end, will their holiday romance become something lasting?

Friendships blossom and love blooms over the decades under the sun kissed sands at Riversley on Sea, but what mysteries lie hidden in the lighthouse and what secrets will finally be revealed?
