Book description
Six months ago, city girl Sophie Mills gave up everything to move to
Cornwall. All to be with the man she thinks she loves, and his
two daughters who she knows she loves.
But adjusting to life as a semi-permanent mother in the countryside
isn't quite as easy as Sophie imagined it would be. Designer shoes
aren't nearly so readily available - not that she ever has any
occasion to wear them - and her best pair of vintage Manolo's have
already found their way into the girls' dressing-up box. Sometimes
Sophie doesn't recognise herself; which most of the time makes her
happy but every now and then scares her to death.
The hardest thing of all is making that final commitment to actually
move in with Louis and the girls - she's been the longest paying guest
of the Avalon B&B, St Ives in the history of the establishment.
And as she tries to adapt to country life, her newly adopted family
and discovering more about Louis's past, she begins to wonder if she's
got what it takes to make it all work ...
