Meet Me at the Seaside Cottages

About the book

Everyone is on the hunt for their perfect house, but ultimately, home is where the heart resides...

Janey Carter has many blessings to count - a cozy seaside home in Carso that she painstakingly renovated, a fulfilling job as an audiologist, two wonderful children, and a circle of caring friends. However, ever since her husband walked out, her self-assurance has dwindled. And just when she thought things couldn't get more complicated, her grumpy 30-year-old daughter announces she's moving back in. Janey adores Essie, but their teenage years were a challenge, and having her back might put a damper on Janey's newly found dating prospects.

Essie Carter, despite her sullen exterior, is facing setbacks - she's recently been laid off, can't afford her Edinburgh rent, and her boyfriend is reluctant to make a commitment. With no other options, she surrenders to the idea of seeking solace in the seaside air. Life appears to be throwing curveballs at this young millennial.

Reuniting under one roof presents its own set of obstacles. Yet, through a mix of rescued dogs, trivia nights at the pub, and a joint venture to revamp the neglected Seagate Cottages next door, the bond between mother and daughter strengthens. As fabric samples and paint swatches flutter through the house, revelations unfold for Essie, while unexpected romance blossoms for Janey.
