It Started with a Secret

Jill Mansell

Jill's Mansell's heart-warming new book is the feel-good novel of 2020. A beautiful Cornish setting a chaotic family a woman who's had enough of romance - or has she? Not to be missed by readers of Katie Fforde and Millie Johnson.

The trouble with secrets is that you can't guess what the consequences will be . . .

Lainey has lost everything. Luckily one little fib (OK quite a big fib) helps nail her dream job. Soon she's living in a stunning house by the sea fending off obsessed fans for a retired - if far-from-retiring - actor and organising his charming but chaotic family. It's definitely worth the challenge of keeping her secret.

At least Lainey isn't looking for love. It's time for a break from all that. And yet . . . Seth the actor's grandson really is rather attractive. There's growing chemistry and a definite connection between them. But how would he react if he knew she hadn't been honest with him?

Lainey's not the only one with a secret though. Seth has one of his own. And everything's about to start unravelling . . .
