Welcome to the cafe on Marigold Marina, where the smell of freshly baked cakes fills the air, the boats bob merrily in the mellow evening sun and an unexpected meeting means the chance to love again…

When Rosie inherits the cafe on Marigold Marina after her husband’s tragic death, she is determined to pour her heart into his dream. Nine months later, as she serves coffee and cakes to customers, she is all smiles and laughter. But when the sunshine-yellow doors of the cafe are closed, she allows her heart to break all over again.

Rosie doesn’t have much room in her life for anything but the cafe. But when Kit, the mysterious owner of a bookshop barge, starts to come by regularly for lunch, she finds it difficult to ignore his dark eyes, dishevelled curls and the fact that he’s hiding his own sorrows. Rosie finds it easy to talk to Kit and as they swim together in the sparkling marina waters she hopes she can help Kit the way he has helped her.

But just as she is letting herself open her heart, she discovers the shocking secret that the husband she loved for so many years kept hidden from her. And then Kit disappears without a word, his beloved book shop barge abandoned, just when she needs him the most. Devastated, Rosie decides to close her cafe for good and leave the marina. But will moving away allow her to move on? Or can she only find true happiness if she learns to trust again?

An absolutely gorgeous and heartwarming read about what can happen when you leave your comfort zone and listen to your heart. Fans of Shari Low, Heidi Swain and Nicola May will fall in love with The Cafe at Marigold Marina.
