Bestselling author Jo Thomas has everything you'll need in her brand-new summer novel - sunshine, seaside and a family-run ice cream cafe, it's the perfect holiday read.

'Full of love and warmth, tears and laughter, another gorgeous book from Jo Thomas' Katie Fforde ---

A dream home Beca Valentino is ready to escape the city. When she sees the perfect house for sale in her hometown, it seems like fate. Is this her chance to build the foster family she dreams of, on the beautiful Pembrokeshire coast?

A big mistake? Returning home isn't as easy as she thought, however. Her family's beloved ice cream cafe is gone - turned into a soulless wine bar by her hateful ex-boyfriend. Reconnecting with her oldest friend, fisherman Griff, isn't straightforward either. And when, instead of the children she expected to take in, two wary teenage boys appear on her doorstep, Beca fears she's made a terrible mistake.

A recipe for change But an old family recipe book is just the inspiration she needs. Soon, with a little help from friends old and new, Beca is selling mouth-watering homemade gelato from a pop-up cafe on the beach.

Then disaster strikes. Will the Valentino family legacy be lost forever? Or can Beca create a new recipe for happiness?
