Thirty-year-old Jessie is broken-hearted after being jilted at the altar. Humiliated and certain she will never trust anyone again, she runs away to Indigo Cove, the little seaside village on the Cornish coast where she spent so many childhood summers, to bury her head in the sand. Except, on her first night, fate has other ideas and Jessie finds herself face to face with tall and brooding Ashton, the first guy she ever loved.

Determined to protect her fragile emotions, Jessie swears not to get distracted by Ashton's sea-glass eyes or the way being near him makes her heart hammer against her chest. Instead, she throws herself into the busy community around the little Cornish café by the sea. As she helps her elderly grandfather prepare for the puzzle championships at the beach café, Jessie's faith in the world is restored as she is welcomed by the quirky locals.

Exploring the beautiful coastline with Ashton, Jessie rediscovers her love of photography. Taking beautiful photos of seals playing the waves, picnics on the beach and delicious cakes at the café gives Jessie a new spark for life. With the summer at its peak, Jessie allows herself to grow closer to sexy and mysterious Ashton...

But when she discovers a secret from Ashton's past, Jessie is left shaken. How much does she really know about him, and can she take a leap of faith and trust Ashton when he asks her to?

Will Jessie's summer at the beach café in Indigo Cove be the biggest mistake of her life or will it turn out to be the fresh start she needs?
