Story
April Statham had it all - until her husband left her for a blonde 10 years her junior. Now she’s 35, single and starting again. So she does what anyone in her position would do: she impulsively invests her life savings in the chalet park she used to visit as a child, on the beautiful Cornish Coast. The Shady Pines Chalet Park is...ramshackle. But it has one big advantage - it is as far as physically possible from April’s ex, his new fiancée and her old life. With gorgeous handyman Cillian O’Leary, April is looking forward to the challenge.

Alice Rose is a foundling, discovered on the Yorkshire moors above Haworth as a baby. Adopted but then later rejected again by a horrid stepmother, Alice struggles to find a place where she belongs. Only baking - the scent of cinnamon and citrus and the feel of butter and flour between her fingers - brings a comforting sense of home. So it seems natural that when she finally decides to return to Haworth, Alice turns to baking again, taking over a run-down little teashop and working to set up an afternoon tea emporium.

Publisher's Summary
You won’t want to miss the next spellbinding chapter in the Love Heart Lane series - where friends are there for you no matter what.
When Julia Coleman meets Flynn Carter again in the cosy village of Heartcross it can only mean trouble. Flynn might be rich, brooding and sexy, but Julia knows first-hand he’s ruthless, and she plans to watch his every move.
When Julia discovers Flynn’s plans for beautiful Starcross Manor, her greatest fears come true. Because Flynn’s dreams of turning Starcross into a luxury hotel could ruin Julia’s dreams...and finish off the community of Heartcross for good.
Flynn makes it clear he doesn’t want trouble, and he’s not the man Julia thinks he is. As he sets about convincing the community he’s changed, he hopes he can convince Julia to give him another chance too....
