<p><strong>An absolutely hilarious, uplifting summer read about living life to the full!</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>Meg Larson</strong> thought she had everything she wanted: she works in the local bakery, she’s months away from marrying her high-school sweetheart, and home is beautiful, sunny <strong>Seashell Cove</strong>, where the sky is blue, the sea is turquoise and the sand is golden.<br />
<br />
Except that the bakery is up for sale and her fiancé <strong>Sam</strong>’s more interested in bikes than their relationship. When Meg receives shocking news about her family, he’s on a cycling tour and ignoring her calls – and posting selfies on Facebook with a female cyclist he looks far too cosy with...<br />
<br />
Luckily the bakery’s estate agent, <strong>Nathan</strong>, is understanding and funny, and as the summer goes on an unexpected friendship blossoms. When the bakery is given a second lease of life under a mysterious new owner, Meg realises a change might be exactly what she needs too.<br />
<br />
Will Meg find the happy-ever-after she dreams of in Seashell Cove?<br />
<br />
<strong>An uplifting, laugh-out-loud rom com that will make you dream of romantic days at the beach. Perfect for fans of Debbie Johnson, Holly Martin and Jenny Oliver. </strong><br />
