Welcome to Apple Hill Bay, where the emerald sea sparkles, golden sands glitter and sunshine and romance sizzle. From the bestselling author of The Christmas Tree Cottage comes this summer’s hottest love story.
From the moment Fern Lucas arrived at its stunning shores, she knew Apple Hill Bay would forever be the place she calls home. Living in her little beach hut with her beloved dog Bones, and her artist business on the verge of taking off, life couldn’t be more perfect. Or so Fern thinks…
When a competition for a mural commission at Blackberry Beach pits her against the gorgeous Fletcher Harrison, sparks fly instantly. Within days their electric chemistry has them tumbling deep into love. Within weeks they can’t imagine a future without each other.
But Fletcher has a secret, a past he can’t escape, a past that he believes means he can’t give Fern the life they’ve dreamed of. And that past is about to catch up with him…
Get ready to fall head over heels this summer with this scorching romance, guaranteed to set hearts on fire. Perfect for fans of Jo Thomas, Sue Moorcroft and Phillipa Ashley.
Thank you to Holly for letting me take part in this tour. I absolutely love Holly’s writing style and always look forward to a new book by Holly.
This book is the first in a new series set in Apple Hill Bay. This story follows Fern and Fletcher. From the very first moment these two meet its obvious that they are meant to be. The chemistry is instant and electric. I can see why Fern fell for Fletcher because I was mesmerised by him from the very beginning. Both characters have their past to overcome. I really liked Fern and could easily see myself being part of her friendship group.
Being a big dog lover Bones was one of my favourite characters. He is adorable with bounds of energy. He really stole my heart.
I loved meeting Fern and her family. I look forward to hopefully seeing more books for each of Fern’s brothers.
This story is perfect to read during this heatwave!
