Book Beginnings
'You've what?' Sacha asked, only half listening to her aunt. She stared out at the terracotta rooftops from her balcony, finding it hard to believe that only eight hours ago she'd been mesmerised by the gentle waves breaking on the golden sand below her bedroom window, hundreds of miles from here.

'You're right,' her father said proudly. 'I'm sure you can do it, setbacks have never stopped you before now.'
Synopsis from Goodreads:
Hold on to the feeling of sunshine at the seaside with this gorgeous romance, perfect for fans of Holly Martin and Jo Thomas. When Sacha Collins, cafe owner and sundae-maker extraordinaire, meets Italian archaeologist, Alessandro Salvatore in Rome, she's grateful to him for being her tour guide. Now he’s turned up in the seaside village where she lives and is setting up a gelateria in direct competition to her retro Summer Sundaes Café. She's only been running her café for two years since taking over from her father. Until now the only other shops on the boardwalk have been a wool shop, an antique shop and a second-hand book shop. These have helped rather than hindered her custom. How will her creative sundaes made from fresh Jersey ice cream compete with his delicious Italian gelato? Sacha is worried. Is there enough custom for both businesses to thrive? Who is behind the strange changes being made on the boardwalk? And when the oldest resident on the boardwalk is threatened with eviction can Sacha and Alessandro come together and find a way of helping her? For a peaceful little boardwalk overlooking one of the quieter beaches on the island, there's an awful lot going on and some of it is going to lead to big changes. Previously published by Georgina Troy as Summer Sundaes .
