The most romantic house in Cornwall has got a new owner…

Journalist Georgie Monroe has watched as it has been transformed into a high-tech glass palace, renovated by a mystery buyer.

When she’s invited to report on an event there, she comes face to face not only with her first love, architect Ethan Sparks, but also with their complicated past. Finding themselves trapped inside when the house malfunctions, Georgie realises that they — and the house — are still keeping secrets.

But have Georgie and Ethan left it too late to start again, or can they write the next chapter of their love story together?

A little spicier than I’m used to

Great writing, cute story, couldn’t put it down. However, it’s a little bit spicier than I’m used to in my innocent little English countryside romances that I normally read… some steamy scenes! I read everything by Cressida McLaughlin and highly recommend all of her books.
