SUNNY DAYS AND SEA BREEZES HC – CAROLE MATTHEWS

"THE BRAND NEW BOOK FROM BESTSELLER CAROLE MATTHEWS Jodie Jackson is all at sea, in every sense. On a ferry bound for the Isle of Wight, she s leaving her London life, her career, and her husband behind. She d like a chance to turn back the clocks, but she ll settle for some peace and quiet on her brother Bill s beautifully renovated houseboat: Summer Days. But from the moment Jodie steps aboard her new home, it s clear she ll struggle to keep herself to herself. If it isn t Marilyn, who does for Bill and is under strict instructions to look after Jodie, then it s Ned, the noisy sculptor on the next-door houseboat. Ned s wood carving is hard on the ears, but it s made up for by the fact that he s rather easy on the eyes. Bustled out of the boat by Marilyn and encouraged to explore with Ned, Jodie soon delights in her newfound freedom. But out of mind isn t out of sight, and when her old life comes knocking Jodie is forced to face reality. Will she answer the call or choose a life filled with Summer Days and Sea Breezes?
