Coming Home to Sturcombe Bay: An uplifting and heartwarming small town romance of second chances

By Susanne McCarthy

They were never truly over - and this time love might just get it right.

After ten years of globe-trotting, Cassie Channing returns to Sturcombe Bay to care for her ailing grandmother. Only to find herself face-to-face with Liam Ellis - the man she once loved and left behind.

A devoted single dad and vet, Liam has moved on since the day Cassie left, or so he tells himself. But the moment she steps back into the village, old feelings come rushing back.

Liam's determined to keep his distance - but the spark between them is impossible to ignore. And, as Cassie settles into village life and grows close to his daughter, staying away gets harder.

The more time Cassie and Liam spend together, the more the heat between them intensifies - but so do the unresolved tensions from the past.

With Cassie's flight booked to leave in six weeks, they both must decide if the love they never really got over is worth a second chance.

This second-chance, single dad romance about 'the one who got away' is perfect for fans of Sue Moorcroft, Phillipa Ashley, Julie Shackman, Sarah Bennett and K.T. Dady.
