When artist Jools Jones’, new man Finn Gallichan, leaves the Boardwalk to go travelling for several months she’s not too worried.

She has her paintings to keep her busy and helps her grandmother run their second hand bookshop, Boardwalk Books.

She’s happy to wait for Finn’s return, to pick up where they left off, as absence makes the heart grow fonder – right?

She’s soon drawn into helping Alan Hidrio trace a copy of a book he wrote years before and meets glass artist Marius Arnesen, who, fascinated by her paintings, offers her a place in an art exhibition.

When she begins to suspect that Finn isn’t quite the person she had hoped and Marius steps up to save someone close to her, she wonders if maybe she’s made the wrong decision…

Can Jools rely on her instincts? Or should she risk the chance of a future with Marius?

**A charming romance, perfect for fans of Holly Martin and Jo Thomas.
