Daughters of Magpie Cove

Connie stared out at the quiet Cornish sea as the hazy early morning light
bathed the horizon in a beautiful golden glow. She inhaled the salty,
cleansing ocean air, looked down at the handwritten note and wiped away the
lone tear that had started to fall... Connie hasn’t been back to Magpie Cove –
a seaside fishing village nestled between the cliffs – for years. When she
thinks of the cove’s cobbled streets and cheerful cottages, she has to fight
to push down memories she’d rather keep buried in the past. When her mother
unexpectedly calls with news that makes her heart sink, Connie is torn. The
tiny museum that’s been in her family for generations will have to close if
they can’t find a way to save it. The sepia photographs and smuggling
memorabilia are precious to the village, and determined to preserve their
shared history, she knows it is finally time to go home. The dusty old museum,
tucked away down a narrow, twisting lane, needs more than a coat of paint to
bring the tourists back in. Soon Connie is in her element, creating charming
new exhibits on local legends. She’s even thinking of offering boat tours
around the beautiful caves along the shore. A chance encounter with handsome
entrepreneur Alex Gordon leaves Connie breathless. With his dark eyes and
broad chest, he is not at all who she expected to meet. And Alex’s offer to
help Connie with the museum only brings them closer. Perhaps embracing a new
start in her old home isn’t the worst idea she’s ever had... But just as
Connie starts to feel like she could have a future in Magpie Cove, the one
person she has tried to forget resurfaces, putting the museum’s safety and her
happiness at risk. What happened all those years ago has always stopped her
from opening her heart. Can Connie finally find the strength to move on with
Alex, or will she be forced to run again, this time for good? From USA Today

Reviewer. Kennedy Kerr has written and published poetry, children's and adult
books. She lives in London and is originally from the West Country, which gave
her accent a subtle (yet noticeable) pirate twang as well as a love of cream
teas and all things mystical. She is the proud owner of a cuddly black cat
called Twinkle, who evidently believes she is a princess. Kennedy also loves
cooking and baking all types of food, which is almost as much fun as eating
it.
