Help comes from the boat next door, in the shape of handsome wildlife photographer, Mason and his naughty Border Terrier, who are showing more than a passing interest in Summer and her adorable Bichon Frise, Latte. But is Mason being honest about himself Or does he have something to hide
As her life and the community of Willowbeck begin to entwine, Summer finds herself setting sail on a new adventure. Will the anchor of a steady life on land be too strong, or can Summer learn to cut loose and embrace life afloat

Cressy was born in South East London surrounded by books and with a cat named after Lawrence of Arabia. She studied English at the University of East Anglia and now lives in Norwich with her husband David. Cressys favourite things include terrifying ghost stories, lava lamps and romantic heroes, though not necessarily at the same time. She doesnt (yet) have a dog of her own, but feeds her love vicariously through friends pets, and was once chased around a field by a soaking wet, very mischievous Border Collie called Wags. When she isnt writing, Cressy spends her spare time reading, returning to London or exploring the beautiful Norfolk coastline.
