Gorgeous, small-town women's fiction and swoon-worthy escapist romance set in a beautiful British seaside town. If you're looking for a happy ever after with divine characters, settle in and say hello to LOVELY BAY.

Cally de Pfeffer has spent a long, long, long time caring for just about everyone in her life. Unfortunately, though, no one has ever done quite the same for her. As she makes it through the other side of a sad situation, all she really wants is one nice day. Not a lot to ask for, actually, is it?

That doesn't happen, though, and when she finds herself more or less homeless, she can't quite believe where she's ended up. At a dead end everywhere she looks, she takes on a job at a huge old manor house in the third smallest town in the country, Lovely Bay... and that's when she finds herself on the ride of her life.

Packed full of Polly's oh-so-unique trademarks, get ready to lose yourself in Lovely Bay; the most gorgeous setting, a plethora of strong female characters and just about the very best escapism you can get from a book.

Oh, and of course, you're going to fall head over heels and hard for our girl Cally as we go on a journey with her and are transported to a whole other utterly fabulous world. Settle in Babbettes, this one is going to rock.

One sweet love story. One town by the sea. One Nice Day.

Not just a romance book, a Polly Babbington romance book.
