Summary
'Warm, emotional, cosy and ridiculously easy to lose yourself in, this was exactly the escape I needed 💛' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Can love begin before time runs out?

Pippa Bell never expected to flee her own wedding — or to end up stranded on Puffin Island at the beautifully ramshackle Clockmaker’s Cottage, the perfect place to get away from it all for the summer.

Her stay gets off to a rocky start when she discovers she’s sharing with her old university nemesis, Theo Blake. But, faced with a ferocious summer storm and trapped inside the tiny house, they end up working together to discover long-buried secrets about the cottage’s original owners.

As the storm rages outside and the cottage works its magic, Pippa discovers that sometimes the best shelter is found in the most unexpected arms…
