Synopsis

Brought to you by Penguin.

Tammy loved her childhood growing up in the harbour town of Porthmellow. But when her father went bankrupt and her mother abandoned them, she was quick to learn that nothing lasts forever.

Now, Tammy spends her days creating works of art in the golden Cornish sand, and is determined to protect herself from further heartache. But everything changes when she meets Ruan – a gorgeous solicitor who has moved to Cornwall for a fresh start.

Just as Tammy starts to question if Ruan could be the one to break down her walls, she discovers he has a secret – one that unravels everything she thought she knew about her past.

Can Tammy find the courage to trust again? Or will Ruan’s secret push her away forever?

Quotes

When I see Phillipa Ashley’s name on the cover of a book, I know I’m in for a glorious escape.

One Cornish Summer with You had me hooked from the very first page. Tammy and Ruan are very appealing, sympathetic characters and I was rooting for them throughout. As ever, Phillipa doesn’t let you get to the happy ending without a few twists, turns and tugs at the heartstrings, but I enjoyed every moment.

With beautiful descriptions that make you feel like you are there, One Cornish Summer with You is a perfect holiday read you won’t able to put down. Highly recommended!
