With Heidi Swain’s book Poppy’s Recipe for Life featuring here on Linda’s Book Bag as one of my 2019 books of the year, I was thrilled to be asked by Heidi to help reveal her latest book, The Secret Seaside Escape.

Heidi is a regular on the blog and you can read my full review of Poppy’s Recipe for Life here. I’ve also reviewed Heidi’s Mince Pies and Mistletoe at the Christmas Market here and was thrilled to ‘stay in’ with her to chat all about Sunshine and Sweet Peas In Nightingale Square here.

Heidi provided a smashing guest post for Linda’s Book Bag when Snowflakes and Cinnamon Swirls at the Winter Wonderland was published, explaining exactly what Christmas means to her and you can find that post here.

So, let’s see what is coming up with Heidi’s new book, The Secret Seaside Escape.

The Secret Seaside Escape

Following a shocking revelation within her family, Tess Tyler is looking to escape her hectic city life – and where better to hide than Wynmouth, the seaside town she visited as a child, with its sandy beaches, stunning rock pools and welcoming community. But little does she realise, Wynmouth isn’t quite the haven she remembers it to be, and her real life is still threatening to catch up with her . . .

Also returning to Wynmouth is Joe. Having fled over a decade ago after an accident that changed his life forever, he’s back and is determined to face his demons. But, like Tess, Joe realises that the town is nothing like he remembers and quickly his arrival brings old tensions to the surface.

As the pair begin to familiarise themselves with the town they once knew, they each realise that the secrets they carry are becoming harder to conceal – but will revealing them bring the answers they’re looking for? Will Tess and her new friends finally get the second chance they’ve been hoping Wynmouth will give them?
