The course of true love rarely runs smoothly, and Lily Atwood is about to find out just how bumpy the road can be.

Grab a cup of tea and get comfortable, because you’re about to be whisked away to the stunning Isle of Canbrae, where Lily has just inherited the beautiful Bayside View Inn. Things are not as they seem on this idyllic island, though, and Lily will need all the help she can get to renovate the inn and sell it before Brightwell Futures, a property development company, swoops in.

Luckily, Grace, her estranged grandmother's solicitor, recommends Callum Drysdale, the charming and handsome carpenter. Their first meeting is less than ideal, however, when Callum makes a bad first impression on her. And to make matters worse, Callum's aunt has asked him to ‘entertain’ Lily, giving her time to find a buyer before Brightwell makes their move.

As Lily works on the inn and prepares for the island's biggest event, Summerfest, she can't help but imagine a future on Canbrae with Callum by her side. But when she reads her grandmother's diaries, she discovers her parents’ tragic love story, and the truth about her birth, that makes her question her own chances at happiness. And with obstacles like Auntie Sheila and Callum's jealous friend, Blair, in the way, will Lily's love story have a happy ending?

A Twist Of Fate At The Bayside View Inn is the first book in a new inclusive small town holiday romance series from Katie Simpkins, the author of The Southern Belles and Marble's Marvels. It's perfect for dog lovers and fans of Jenny Hale’s 'The Beach House' and Samantha Parks’ 'The Summer House In Santorini' who will adore this heartwarming tale of love, family, and finding happiness in unexpected places.
