Previously published as Picnic Days at the Cornish Bakery by Sarah Hope


Running from her cancelled wedding and the betrayal of her sister, the last thing Jessie wants to think about is relationships, especially happy ones. So when she is faced with the prospect of having to plan other people’s weddings, she decides to try to focus on the present, instead of the past.

Upon her arrival in idyllic Penworth Bay, she is immediately enveloped into Elsie’s cosy bakery family and welcomed into the close-knit community of the bay. Jessie becomes part of the team and quickly learns she can call the rest of the bakery family her true friends.

Kind, handsome Simon Groves comes to her rescue after a terrifying roadside incident and soon Jessie finds she no longer needs to pretend to be happy, because she is. Officer Groves shows her there is hope after her failed relationship and she soon begins falling in love.

Will the surprise arrival of her sister and her mum jeopardise Jessie’s newfound happiness? Will she be able to continue to look to the future or will the past dramas pull her home again, away from her new life in the bay and away from her fledging romance with Officer Groves?

Can Jessie and Simon’s relationship survive past trauma and challenges, or will they end up going their separate ways?

Step back into sunny Penworth Bay and enjoy the hustle and bustle of the height of the tourist season. Experience the thrill of the fair and the chill of the water around your ankles when you paddle in the sea.
