Lila had a favourite rock to sit on towards the back of the cove, where she often ate her breakfast, gazing out at the tumbling Cornish sea. As the sun rose that morning, Lila wished with all her heart that the grey-green waves could wash away her old life. That Magpie Cove would help her move on, and to forget... When aspiring pastry chef Lila Bridges flees her life in the city after a heartbreaking tragedy, she finds herself working behind the counter at Magpie Cove's most beloved local establishment - Serafina's Café. The sweet, buttery aroma of freshly baked chocolate croissants, the cheerful gossip of the regulars and the elderly owner Serafina's feisty humour are a much-needed balm to Lila's broken heart. For the first time since it happened, Lila is beginning to laugh again... But when Serafina unexpectedly passes away, the future of the café looks bleak. Nathan Da Costa, Serafina's estranged son, inherits, and returns to Magpie Cove determined to inject some big-city glamour into the place. To Lila, it seems impossible that dour, money-obsessed Nathan could be related to dear Serafina. He may have his mother's mop of curly dark hair and deep brown eyes, but he has none of her warmth or heart. Lila needs this job and the sense of peace the town has brought her, so she's determined to make it work with Nathan as her new boss. But her resolution is tested when the secret Lila has been keeping about what brought her to the cove begins to unravel, just as she discovers an unexpected, sweeter side to Nathan. Will trusting Nathan Da Costa with her long-held secret be Lila's new beginning in Magpie Cove, or her emotional undoing? Be totally transported to the windswept beaches of Cornwall with this heart-warming and unputdownable story that will leave a huge smile on your face.

Daughters of Magpie Cove

Connie stared out at the quiet Cornish sea as the hazy early morning light bathed the horizon in a beautiful golden glow. She inhaled the salty, cleansing ocean air, looked down at the handwritten note and wiped away the lone tear that had started to fall... Connie hasn't been back to Magpie Cove - a seaside fishing village nestled between the cliffs - for years. When she thinks of the cove's cobbled streets and cheerful cottages, she has to fight to push down memories she'd rather keep buried in the past. When her mother unexpectedly calls with news that makes her heart sink, Connie is torn. The tiny museum that's been in her family for generations will have to close if they can't find a way to save it. The sepia photographs and smuggling memorabilia are precious to the village, and determined to preserve their shared history, she knows it is finally time to go home. The dusty old museum, tucked away down a narrow, twisting lane, needs more than a coat of paint to bring the tourists back in. Soon Connie is in her element, creating charming new exhibits on local legends. She's even thinking of offering boat tours around the beautiful caves along the shore. A chance encounter with handsome entrepreneur Alex Gordon leaves Connie breathless. With his dark eyes and broad chest, he is not at all who she expected to meet. And Alex's offer to help Connie with the museum only brings them closer. Perhaps embracing a new start in her old home isn't the worst idea she's ever had... But just as Connie starts to feel like she could have a future in Magpie Cove, the one person she has tried to forget resurfaces, putting the museum's safety and her happiness at risk. What happened all those years ago has always stopped her from opening her heart. Can Connie finally find the strength to move on with Alex, or will she be forced to run again, this time for good?
