A Cornish Summer’s Kiss

From the top 10 bestselling author of The Cornish Midwife.

Two years after losing her husband, Finn, Lexie Turner is still struggling.

She knows she needs to move on, but she has no idea where to begin. Packing up her life in London, Lexie heads to the coastal town of Port Kara to spend the summer working out her next move. With only her beloved Labrador for company, it’s the perfect place to start again.

But life in Port Kara is nothing like Lexie expected! Soon, she finds herself drawn into the close-knit community, unable to hide away. And when she meets local man, Elliott Dorton, Lexie begins to feel her broken heart slowly come back to life…

Elliott is kind but adventurous and his job requires him to take risks daily – something Lexie isn’t ready to deal with. Can she trust in Elliott and risk her heart breaking a second time, or will their one Cornish summer be all that Lexie can hope for?

From Jo Bartlett, the bestselling author of The Cornish Midwives Series, comes another emotional read about second chances and having the courage to grab them with all your heart.
