Set in the scenic north Atlantic coastal beauty of New Hampshire, Return to Periwinkle Cove is a heartwarming read ideal for fans of second chances, city to country change-ups, and clean and wholesome romance - with a little bit of mystery added for good measure.
Sadie Mellors is stuck in a New York rut when she gets a shocking phone call that turns her life upside down.
Her sweet-hearted but ingenuous mother is in a coma in hospital, her life hanging in the balance after an overdose of sleeping pills.
It's up to Sadie to come to her mother's rescue and this means making significant changes in both their lives.
She decides to move back to the old family home in Periwinkle Cove. Here she discovers her mother's curious abandoned projects scattered across the property.
One of the first visitors to offer Sadie help is Ben Ellis, a divorcé who works across the road at the Seacoast Science Center. The handsome marine biologist had been keeping an eye on Sadie's mother after her husband died, and now he wants to help Sadie make a success of the saffron project left floundering in the fields of Periwinkle Cove.
But it's not as easy as it first seems. Sadie's mother needs nursing, Ben's father and ex-wife want to change his mind about every decision he makes, and there's a strange link between the deactivated artillery station on Battery Hill, where Sadie and Ben love to walk, and unusual goings-on around Periwinkle Cove.
Will Sadie and Ben be able to unravel the mystery hiding in plain sight?
Will Sadie's mother and Ben's father be able to resolve their differences in time to save the Periwinkle Cove project?
And is it even possible for New Hampshire to replace New York when it comes to love, life, and everlasting happiness?
Take a walk along the wild north Atlantic coastline and join Sadie, Ben, and Pogo the curious but loveable dog, and discover why new beginnings and second chances are only ever a heartbeat away.
