Publisher's Synopsis
A fresh start
It's been a year since book editor Melissa Martyn's husband passed away. Now it's time to write a new chapter for herself.
And so she is welcomed back to the cozy Cornish village of Penworthal. Her close-knit group of girlfriends even start a book club to get Melissa back into the swing of things in Cornwall.
It seems she's met with open arms by all but one.
A chance for forgiveness
English literature professor Nathan Kellow blames Melissa for the death of her husband - his best friend.
But Nathan has a secret. He has always been drawn to Melissa. And now he hates himself more than ever for the feelings he's desperate to quash.
Keeping the barrier between himself and Melissa firmly in place is the easiest way to do that.
A love that could heal all
But Melissa and Nathan soon bond over their shared love of books, drawn together by the mutual attraction they'll do anything to deny. Especially to each other.
Because they fear they're doing the unforgiveable . . . Falling in love. Is fate offering Melissa and Nathan a second chance at a happy ending, or is this going to be a heartbreak they'll never forget?
This utterly heart-warming romance about friendship, love, new beginnings and the power of words is the perfect read for fans of Lost for Words, Philippa Ashley, Heidi Swain, Sue Moorcroft or Beth Moran.
