Overview

A grumpy Scottish writer. A sunshine Cornish gallery owner. One flat above the sea.

Natalie Ash is very good at leaving. Eight years in Edinburgh. One long relationship that taught her she was too much. Now she's in Falmouth with a deadline, a rented flat, and absolutely no intention of getting attached to anything — including the view.

Jess Morrow built her life in this Cornish town from scratch. The gallery downstairs is hers. The community is hers. And the quiet she's learned to protect is, apparently, about to be interrupted by a Scottish academic with excellent sarcasm and terrible coffee habits.

They are not, in any reasonable sense, compatible.

And yet.

A warm, witty, slow-burn sapphic romance set in Falmouth, Cornwall — for fans of Clare Lydon and Emily Henry.

"She had stopped counting the steps. She was already there."
