Sunshine and Secrets (The Paradise Cookery School series #1)

Welcome to The Paradise Cookery School – a place where dreams, and chocolate, are made!

When newly heartbroken chef Millie Harper is offered a job overseeing the launch of The Paradise Cookery School, she jumps at the chance. Leaving her ex behind, Millie jets off to the gorgeous villa on a hilltop cocoa plantation in sunny St Lucia.

However, despite the beautiful location, Millie realises she faces a challenge to get the school ready on time. And snippy but handsome estate manager Zach Barker isn’t helping.

As Millie adjusts to the Caribbean pace of life, she discovers her own carefree side in the tropical paradise. But can she fulfil her promise? Or will fun in the sun prove too much of a distraction?

A glorious, uplifting romance that fans of Jenny Oliver and Sandy Barker will love.

Please Sunshine and Secrets was previously published as Sunshine & Secrets at the Paradise Cookery School and has been updated and re-edited for summer 2023.
