Welcome to Seabury - where everyone knows everyone, the average tourist hasn't got a clue it even exists, and that's just how the locals like it! A summer listen full of friendship, fun and laughter! For fans of Holly Martin, Polly Babbington and Heidi Swain. Kate Hardy really doesn't like change. She's lived in the gorgeous coastal town of Seabury all her life - well, apart from that three-month blip in London - but she doesn't like to think about that. Now she's back where she belongs - running her tiny seafront cafe, The Sardine, with her rescue dog Stanley at her side, and the occasional romantic visit from a certain gorgeous French fisherman. But when the local gossip-vine starts buzzing with the news that New York Froth is coming to town, it's not just the super-snazzy coffee chain that's got Kate on the hop - Mike Pendle, its rude, grumpy owner, seems hell-bent on demolishing her life - one nightmare encounter at a time. Is The Sardine safe? Will Kate manage to weather this summer storm?
