It Started with a Secret

Jill`s Mansell`s heart-warming new book is the feel-good novel of 2020. A beautiful Cornish setting, a chaotic family, a woman who`s had enough of romance - or has she? Not to be missed by readers of Katie Fforde and Millie Johnson. The trouble with secrets is that you can`t guess what the consequences will be . . . Lainey has lost everything. Luckily one little fib (OK, quite a big fib) helps nail her dream job. Soon she`s living in a stunning house by the sea, fending off obsessed fans for a retired - if far-from-retiring - actor and organising his charming but chaotic family. It`s definitely worth the challenge of keeping her secret. At least Lainey isn`t looking for love. It`s time for a break from all that. And yet . . . Seth, the actor`s grandson, really is rather attractive. There`s growing chemistry and a definite connection between them. But how would he react if he knew she hadn`t been honest with him? Lainey`s not the only one with a secret, though. Seth has one of his own. And everything`s about to start unravelling . . .
