A Pretty Beach Dream

Contemporary romance.

Perfect for fans of Rachel Hanna and Pamela Kelley.

Chock full of friendship, community, romance, old British cottages and Spring in Pretty Beach. Delve back into the next part of this cosy little town by the sea as the sweet, little coastal town wakes up to a new year and begins to bloom.

Get ready to fall in love with Pretty Beach all over again as the sparkly blue beach town, surrounded by water, overlooked by a quaint old lighthouse and filled with wonderful characters, welcomes us into its fold as the blossom falls and flowers bloom.

Juliette Sparkles, resident Pretty Beach midwife, fell hook, line and sinker for Luke Burnette and strolled off into a wonderful Christmas after a very lovely kiss under the mistletoe. Now, we catch up with her as Spring begins to warm up Pretty Beach and her dreams of an old house, riding around Pretty Beach on a blue vintage bike and planting a garden all of her own really do start to come true.

But, as she is surrounded by daffodils and tulips, the ups and downs of the last few years begin to fade and everything is looking ever-so rosy, some tragic news comes her way and she doesn’t know quite how to react and knocks Juliette’s world for six.

As Pretty Beach blossoms and blooms we find out that for Juliette and Luke, the pair who pretty much fell in love from the day they laid eyes on each other, it’s not always quite as easy as it seems.

Will it all work out for Juliette or will things from the past make her realise that there is no such thing as living the dream?
