    About this audiobook

    ***THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER***
     
    Escape to the seaside this summer with the brand new novel from Heidi Swain, the Sunday Times bestselling author of feel-good women’s fiction. Think idyllic beaches, refreshing rock pools and breathtaking romance. The PERFECT summer read!
     
    Following a shocking revelation within her family, Tess Tyler is looking to escape her hectic city life – and where better to hide than Wynmouth, the seaside town she visited as a child, with its sandy beaches, stunning rock pools and welcoming community. But little does she realise, Wynmouth isn't quite the haven she remembers it to be, and her real life is still threatening to catch up with her . . .
     
    Also returning to Wynmouth is Joe. Having fled over a decade ago after an accident that changed his life forever, he’s back and is determined to face his demons. But, like Tess, Joe realises that the town is nothing like he remembers and quickly his arrival brings old tensions to the surface.
     
    As the pair begin to familiarise themselves with the town they once knew, they each realise that the secrets they carry are becoming harder to conceal – but will revealing them bring the answers they’re looking for? Will Tess and her new friends finally get the second chance they’ve been hoping Wynmouth will give them?

      Fun as always. Every one of Heidi's stories are interesting and enjoyable to listen to. Karen Cass is the perfect narrator.
    • 5/5
      Really good twist to story, could never have predicted it. Just a good feel good book
    • 5/5
      You will love Ms. Swain’s characters and hope for the best as the story unfolds. It is a refreshing change from the cozy mysteries. Thoroughly enjoyed the book and the narrator is fabulous.
    • 4/5
      Fun and lighthearted, if a bit formulaic. I enjoyed it.
    • 5/5
      My favourite Heidi Swain so far! Absolutely loved the setting and the way she managed to weave in themes of beach clean ups, preserving the seaside and mens mental health and yet still manage to make the whole thing feel light hearted.
    • 5/5
      Heidi & Karen are the make the perfect duo. This is my favorite so far.
    • 5/5
      The twists this one makes are well played! Love all of this one.
    • 5/5
      Best read this summer. Not as predictable as some in this category! Bravo!
    • 4/5
      I enjoyed this story and the plot lines kept me intrigued. Got a bit annoyed by some of the main characters assumptions without the facts, and also the build up to the romance was great and lots of chemistry but so little details provided at the end! Always a bit of a let down!
    • 5/5
      Great storyline that had a few revelations along the way. Love, loss and inspiration made it great to to listen to.
