Run away to Seaglass Bay where the waves crash against ivory cliffs, the beach is a perfect golden ribbon of sand, and a little café is about to change Eden’s life forever…
When Eden turns the key in the red door of Four Winds Cottage, the clifftop house where she used to holiday as a child, she is overwhelmed with bittersweet memories. She lost her mother recently, and she’s hoping Seaglass Bay will heal her broken heart.
The villagers welcome Eden with open arms, but she can’t help but notice that life is tough for them when the holidaymakers go home. Her mother always gave so much to those around her, and Eden is determined to follow in her footsteps. She sets up a community kitchen where her new friends can enjoy a homecooked meal, and as she watches people chatting over delicious stews, she feels sure that her mum would be a little bit proud of her.
But Eden’s happiness doesn’t last long. An unwelcome visitor arrives in Seaglass Bay in the form of handsome, chiselled Cam, who wants to buy the land the kitchen stands on. Eden is determined to save it and challenges Cam to a fortnight working with her so he can see how much would be lost if it closed.
As Cam rolls up his shirtsleeves and whips up his famous roast chicken, sparks fly and Eden feels a sense of triumph – he clearly can’t resist a challenge. The heat rises as they mess around in the kitchen, Cam’s dark hair dishevelled and his blue eyes shining with fun, and she realises that maybe he doesn’t have a heart of stone after all…
But just as she begins to let her guard down, Cam disappears without warning. Has she failed to win over the man she swore she’d never catch feelings for? And can she save the place that’s helped save her?
An emotional feel-good read, packed with heart and hope, that shows you it is never too late to start again. Fans of Shari Low, Jessica Redland and Jo Bartlett will fall in love with Eden‘s Comfort Kitchen.
Still reeling from her mother’s sudden death, Eden travels to Sea Glass Bay to find peace among happy childhood memories.
Author Tilly Tennant serves up an endearing tale about the complexities of family relationships in Eden’s Comfort Kitchen. As Eden contemplates a conflict-ridden relationship with her sister, she develops local friendships that serve as positive examples.
When she realizes the community needs free or low-cost meals, Eden takes on a formidable task with amazing results. For someone who always thought of herself as a failure, Eden gains confidence and a sense of belonging.
That makes her even more determined to stand up for the community when a handsome land developer comes to town. Not one to back down, Eden is determined to convince Cam how important the land is to the town. And if the sparks fly during the process…that’s just a bonus.
Eden’s Comfort Kitchen provides a warm hug for readers looking for a feel-good romance illustrating the benefits of helping others.
From a young age, Tilly Tennant was convinced that she was destined for the stage. Once she realised she wasn’t actually very good at anything that would put her on the stage, she started to write stories instead. There were lots of terrible ones, like The Pet Rescue Gang (aged eight), which definitely should not see the light of day ever again. Thankfully, her debut novel, Hopelessly Devoted to Holden Finn was not one of those, and since it hit the Amazon best seller lists she hasn’t looked back. Born in Dorset, she currently lives in Staffordshire with her husband, two daughters, three guitars, four ukuleles, two violins and a kazoo.
