An gorgeous seaside romance, full of humour, family life and second chances at love.

Heart-broken, Genie, has lost everything, including her confidence. Living in a tiny corner of paradise and running a pretty little ice cream shop, has been her life for as long as she can remember, but suddenly her mother wants to sell to developers and leave their shared history behind.

Determined to buy the café, Genie finds the courage to accept an unconventional investment offer from customer, Ada, who has a mysterious past and a gorgeous but distracting grandson. Ada feels that Genie and her grandson, Cal, will work well together, but sparks fly and tempers are lost.

Working in a seafront business with its fiery owner, is the only way Cal can think of, to keep his ex-Hollywood glamour-puss, gran from harm. Cal, wants to protect his grandmother from Genie, but soon realises that living in a picturesque seaside town and away from the paparazzi in Hollywood can actually give him time to heal and could even offer him his own happily ever after.

Learning to love herself and find success on her own is Genie's first step. But when long-lost dreams are reignited, will she be able to trust someone new with her heart?
