Can two lonely souls find a second chance at happiness?

Winner of the Romantic Novel of the Year 2012.

Jemima Hutton’s dream of her bespoke jewellery being sold across the country collapses when a high-end boutique stops carrying her work.

Desperate to find a new outlet, she stumbles upon a quirky little music shop hidden down a cobbled alley in York. The shop’s owner, enigmatic and reclusive Ben Davies, reluctantly agrees to stock her creations.

As complete opposites, both Jemima and Ben must learn to navigate their new partnership. But as they grow closer Jemima discovers there’s more to Ben and his seemingly quiet life.

Ben used to be the frontman of a famous rock band. Then suddenly, and with no explanation, he notoriously deserted the band on their US tour.

Jemima wants to know why. But if Ben trusts her with his secret, she must share her own. And her past is something she is determined to keep hidden.

But secrets have a way of coming to light and, as they learn to trust again, it’s not their secrets, but their hearts that are no longer safe . . .

This heartwarming romance of second chances and new beginnings is perfect for fans of Mhairi McFarlane, Sarah Morgan, Susan Mallery, Laura Jane Williams, Beth Moran, and Jo Barlett.
