Escape to the Little Cornish Isles: The Starfish Studio
***Previously published as Summer on the Little Cornish Isles: The Starfish Studio***
One summer can change everything …
Poppy has always loved Cornwall. So when her boyfriend Dan suggests they leave their office jobs and take over the Starfish Studio on the Isles of Scilly, Poppy doesn’t need asking twice.
But things don’t go to plan when Dan dumps her, just weeks before their big move. Refusing to give up, Poppy takes matters into her own hands and enlists the help of Jake, a talented local photographer. But Jake is distracted by a loss from his own past.
Can they work together to turn the crumbling gallery into a success in time for tourist season? And will a summer on the little Cornish Isles mend just the studio – or Poppy’s heart too?
