Welcome to the Sunshine Island - where the beaches are golden, the lifestyle is perfect and anything is possible.
Piper Le Brocq is happily single after the disastrous ending of her engagement eighteen months before. The only man in her life is Jax, her best friend and cousin, who spends his life teaching locals how to forage and taking tourists on boat trips around the island. Her days are filled with helping out at her mother's guest house and selling her glass mosaics at The Cabbage Patch emporium in Trinity.
Piper loves living on the Sunshine Island, where the neighbours look out for each other and visitors are welcome. So, when handsome guest Alex Cooper arrives at the guest house to check up on his grandfather, she welcomes him to the sunny island. And when he needs help after his grandfather is injured, she's quick to get involved.
Yet, the more she gets to know Alex the more mysterious he seems, and Alex isn't the only one keeping secrets from her.

Review
This is a light and sweet holiday romance between Piper, native of Jersey, and Alex who comes to stay at her family’s guesthouse. Sparks fly from the very beginning, but Piper’s been hurt before and is reluctant to take a chance on another relationship, especially with someone who lives on the mainland.
Piper’s awful past experience has left her understandably distrustful of men, but matters aren’t helped by meddlesome family on both sides. There’s a great bond between Piper, her mother, and her grandmother, but it does mean they sometimes have trouble taking no for an answer. I did find the subplot with Piper’s gran and Alex’s grandfather fascinating and an interesting contrast to the romance between the respective grandchildren.
In addition to a romance, this book does double duty as an advertisement and travel guide to Jersey as Piper shows Alex around. It sounds both beautiful and historically fascinating, I’m left with a serious case of travel envy! I also loved the artistic community at the Cabbage Patch and wish that we got to see more of the people there and Piper’s art.
