A Second Chance Summer: An addictive second chance romance full of tension, heartbreak, and hot summer nights on the Cornish coast (Coming Back to Cornwall Book 1)

A Second Chance Summer is the first book in the Coming Back to Cornwall series. Ten years after a transformative summer, Alice and Julie return to Cornwall hoping to recapture the magic of their past—lazy beach days, old friendships, and a sense of freedom they fear was fleeting. However, life has changed for both of them. They return for different reasons, seeking a fresh start in the place where everything began. For Julie, it means embracing newfound freedom. For Alice, the goal is clear: find Sam and determine whether their love can survive a second chance. As they reconnect with old friends and form new bonds—including with a guarded single mother and her daughter—tensions rise. Secrets emerge, loyalties are tested, and in a small coastal town, privacy is scarce. When Alice and Sam finally meet again, the attraction remains. But whether it's enough for a real second chance becomes the central question. The story explores themes of small-town romance, slow-burn tension, emotional second chances, and found family within a beach-town summer setting.
