Attempting to shake off writer's block, novelist Fran Miller comes to the Cornish village of Tresidder to spend the summer with her long-time best friend, Lucy. She definitely isn't looking for romance, especially after a painful breakup with her last boyfriend - but it finds her nevertheless in the form of Charlie Boscawen, local baker and heartthrob. Soon she is being wooed with the most tempting confections imaginable. But Charlie has problems of his own... and what will happen when the summer comes to an end?
