The forgiving sand - Theresa Le Flem

With the fishing industry in crisis, it is becoming increasingly difficult to make ends meet in a small Cornish town. Christina's quiet beach cafe is losing money and her ruthless brother-in-law is determined to close it down. Disabled since childhood, Christina is determined to maintain her family business, though neither her mother nor her sister is interested in helping her. But when John Madison, a widowed and lonely local skipper, desperately seeks Christina's help with his young daughter, she is both disturbed by, and drawn to, him. Who can save Christina's beloved Sea Cafe? And when John asks her to take a risk, will her heart be torn in two?
