Following her break-up from Gavin, Mackenna has left London to live with her widowed father in Cliffhaven, the Sussex seaside town where she grew up.
A quiet life in Cliffhaven is just what Seth needs, too. Recovering from a breakdown after what he sees as his failure to make the grade as a doctor, he’s staying with his aunt, Sarah, while he reassesses his future.
When Mackenna and Seth meet, it’s hardly love at first sight. At least, not for Mackenna. Seth? Well, he’s none too sure. But it’s obvious to him that Mackenna isn’t over Gavin, no matter what she says.
As for Mackenna, every prickly encounter with Seth sends her running in the opposite direction.
Mackenna enjoys spending time in Sarah’s bookshop, and the two have become friends. It’s not, therefore, the most pleasant surprise when she discovers Seth is Sarah’s nephew.
Sarah, too, is in for a shock when she recognises Eliot, Mackenna’s father as someone from her past. But surely, she’s mistaken? It was over thirty years ago, after all.
Eliot himself is in no doubt. His daughter’s friend is not just Sarah from the bookshop, she is the Sarah. The girl who sang in The Grey Stallion pub. And there’s something else Eliot is equally certain about. He’s fallen in love at first sight. For the second time. With the same person.
But is going back ever a good idea? Sarah certainly doesn’t think so.
Mackenna can’t ignore her growing feelings for Seth. But she has a secret, and until she shares it, the ties with Gavin will never be truly broken.
Genre: General Fiction
