Tressa Buckland is perfectly content with her quiet life in the seaside village of Port Lowdy, where colourful cottages overlook the sea and her only constant companion is her cat, Ginger Pickles. Working at the local newspaper leaves plenty of time for her art—until her boss is called away and Tressa is left to run the paper. Her first challenge: hiring a new part-time journalist.

Dan Byrne, once a fiery Dublin columnist, needs a fresh start after his career implodes. With his Golden Retriever, Ritchie, he heads to sleepy Cornwall, determined to rebuild his life.

When Dan strides into Port Lowdy, Tressa’s calm routine is thrown off course. He’s curious, outspoken, and impossible to ignore. Though opposites in every way, together they might uncover stories—and feelings—they never expected.
