The path to true love never did run smooth… Famous actor-turned-director Felix Paschal – real name Adam Sinclair – has bought Samphire Bay’s iconic Art Deco house, not only for the privacy it grants him, but also as the location for the new historical drama he is directing. The sprawling house desperately needs a housekeeper.

Luckily for Adam, local musician Emma desperately needs money, as she and her band try to make it big. Being a housekeeper proves to be both fulfilling and entertaining, especially when Adam’s show starts filming and sparks fly between the two.

Not everyone is happy with the new resident – from nasty texts and disturbing letters to fake news leaked to the press, both Adam and Emma will have to work hard to protect their home.

A fun and uplifting seaside romance for fans of Jessica Redland, Christie Barlow and Holly Martin.
