Welcome to The Coastal Kettle, a sun-drenched seaside tearoom where friendship is brewed strong and secrets run deeper than anyone suspected...
When Belle's fiancé calls off their wedding just nine days before the ceremony, her carefully planned life crumbles. With nowhere else to turn, she flees to the south coast to stay with her beloved godmother Diana - only to discover that Diana has gifted Belle everything she has: a seaside house and a charming tearoom, The Coastal Kettle.
Starting over in the picturesque village of Spindrift Bay, Belle throws herself into renovating the tearoom and learning to bake. Between rescued kittens, new friendships and the kindness of locals like handsome vet Luke, she begins to heal. But when Belle uncovers a decades-old family secret hidden in the house, she faces an impossible choice: reveal the truth and risk destroying the lives of those she's grown to love, or keep a secret for the woman who gave her everything...
A heartwarming tale of found family, second chances and the courage to start again. Perfect for fans of Heidi Swain, Phillipa Ashley and Holly Martin.
About the Author :
Hannah wrote her first book, about a dalmatian, when she was eight years old and she hasn't put her pen down since, although life's interventions have put up some stiff competition for her time and energy. Hannah has loved romantic fiction since those early days of 'Sweet Dreams' novels and, with a good wind behind her, can remember the names of all Jilly Cooper's 'book title' heroines, although her favourite was always Harriet. Hannah lives in London with her husband, John, and six year old daughter, Rose, both of whom also love books, although neither is exactly Hannah's target audience. Maybe one day she'll write a novel about a Formula One driver who loves puppies. Maybe. When she isn't writing, Hannah works as a teacher and Assistant Head in a small and unusually lovely school in south west London. Hannah joined the Romantic Novelists' Association New Writers' Scheme in 2020, graduating in 2023, and will always be grateful to them for their expert support and guidance as well as their championing of the genre.
