Sunny Skies and Summer Kisses

Walking into her brand new studio space, Anoushka Cartwright can’t keep the smile from her face. Opening a dance school has been her dream since she was a child.  Her controlling ex told her it was a pipe dream, but her classes are an instant hit with villagers, from tapdancing toddlers to retirees determined to master ballroom dancing. For the first time since she can remember, her future feels bright.

But her newfound independence is complicated by Irish singer Gabe Dublin, whose chocolate-brown eyes and velvet accent have been melting hearts around the village for years. Despite their undeniable chemistry, Anoushka is terrified of opening her heart again. She knows all too well the damage the wrong man can do, and with Gabe's musician lifestyle demanding months away on tour, how could romance ever work out?

Just as Anoushka settles into the rhythm of village life, surrounded by her loving blended family and the warmth of the local pub, her ex brings trouble back to Lytell Stangdale. With everyone from her accident-prone Uncle Jimby to his temperamental cockerel Reg rallying around her, will she find that true love, like summer on the moors, is worth waiting for?

Escape to the chocolate box beauty of the Yorkshire Moors in this heartwarming tale of community, second chances and finding your way home, perfect for fans of Heidi Swain, Jenny Colgan and Phillipa Ashley.
