Marisa Rosso is struggling. Since the death of her beloved grandfather back home in Italy she can't seem to find a way out of her grief. So when her flatmate offers her one of his uncle's rentals on a remote tidal island off the Cornish Coast Marisa jumps at the opportunity.

But between her noisy Russian piano-teaching neighbour and the hustle and bustle of a busy community Marisa finds solitude is not so easy to come by. Especially when she finds herself somehow involved with a tiny local bakery desperately in need of some new zest to save it. . .
