Second Chance Summer

'This summer's essential read' Milly Johnson 'This book is like a warm summer breeze' Kate Rhodes 'Delightful' Veronica Henry The brand-new novel from the Sunday Times bestseller - available to pre-order now! From the moment Lily Harper arrives at a remote retreat on the breath-taking Scilly Isles, she is itching to get back to civilisation - and her thriving business. Slowing down simply isn't in her vocabulary, and so she quickly clashes with the gorgeous but dour Sam who runs the retreat. Just as Lily is about to give up and leave, disaster strikes, and she is involved in an incident that changes her perspective on everything. Lily is no longer sure she wants to return to the life she thought she loved. But will she have the courage to give the retreat, and Sam, a second chance? ________ Praise for Phillipa Ashley: ''Read it and feel like you've had a holiday!'
