St Aidan: a cosy Cornish village where friendships are made for life and it’s always cocktail hour somewhere...

Working up the courage to take a big, important leap is hard, but Jabari is almost absolutely ready to make a giant splash. Jabari is definitely ready to jump off the diving board. He’s finished his swimming lessons and passed his swim test, and he’s a great jumper, so he’s not scared at all. “Looks easy,” says Jabari, watching the other kids take their turns. But when his dad squeezes his hand, Jabari squeezes back. He needs to figure out what kind of special jump to do anyway, and he should probably do some stretches before climbing up onto the diving board. In a sweetly appealing tale of overcoming your fears, newcomer Gaia Cornwall captures a moment between a patient and encouraging father and a determined little boy you can’t help but root for.

When a Southern lawyer decides to change her life, a summer in Cornwall offers new beginnings—and new love—in this contemporary romance. Career-obsessed lawyer Samantha Muir is on assignment in London when she learns that she’s being passed over for partner. Rather than return home with her tail between her legs, she promptly heads for Paddington station and buys a ticket for Cornwall. All Samantha wants is a little time to reinvent herself. But she finds much more when she steps off the train in Little Penhaven. The charming Cornish village is a world away from Samantha’s life in Knoxville, Tennessee. And local farmer Caden Day is unlike any man she’s known before. A good-looking guy with a bad reputation, he’s exactly the sort Samantha would normally avoid. But there’s nothing normal about her summer in Little Penhaven. And as Samantha and Caden get to know each other, they discover a love that’s nothing less than extraordinary.

Claudia thought she knew how this summer was going to go. Turns out, she didn't have a clue... It's been two years since Claudia arrived on the beautifully rugged Cornish coast with nothing but a suitcase to her name. She'd walked out on the husband who had never loved her, ditched the corporate job she'd never wanted and vowed that no gym membership card would come within ten feet of her ever again. Swapping boardrooms and cocktails for a little shop right at the end of the beach road should have been a bit of a shock. But from the moment she first laid eyes on the empty, run-down store, Claudia knew this was where she was meant to be all along. After all that upheaval, Claudia was looking forward to a quiet summer, full of the usual holiday makers and long walks along the clifftops. But life in her patch of paradise is about to change in more ways than one. Enter recently widowed Jason, dragging his sullen teenage daughter Millie in tow. Millie and Claudia immediately hit it off. And while Millie loves everything about Claudia's free-spirited way of life, practical architect Jason is less than thrilled about his daughter's new interests. He doesn't shy away from telling Claudia exactly what he thinks and sparks fly every time they meet. But as circumstances throw Claudia into Jason's path in increasingly unexpected ways, she begins to glimpse what lies beneath his fiery temper and sharp tongue. Claudia was sure her new life was perfect in every way. But was there something missing after all? The perfect summer holiday escape, full of warmth, humour and heart. Fans of Sarah Morgan, Cathy Bramley and Phillipa Ashley will be charmed by this seaside romance.
