Surprises in Seabury
About this ebook
This is Seabury - where everyone knows everyone, the average tourist hasn't got a clue it even exists, and that's just how the locals like it!
Another day, another full house of bookings at the new Pebble Street Hotel restaurant. Head chef Hattie Barclay is thrilled – and completely exhausted. Things are going well. Maybe a little too well…
She hasn’t really had the chance to explore her new home much… or her new boyfriend, come to that. In fact, she’s not even sure she can call Ben her boyfriend when they haven’t had the chance to do much more than escape for an occasional walk on the beach. Hattie’s quickly discovering that living in a hotel room doesn’t lend itself to… well… you know! And Ben doesn’t seem too keen on inviting her to his place for some reason.
When Lionel lets slip about a potential rival for Ben’s affections, Hattie realises that she might have bigger problems on her plate than her ridiculously busy schedule.
Just to complicate matters further, there are rumours of another chef in town. One with a ridiculous orange top-knot and a notoriously short fuse... it seems that Marco Brooks is in Seabury and determined to stir the pot!
Can Ben survive the roasting that’s coming his way? Will things between him and Hattie finally start to sizzle? Or is Hattie’s newfound happiness destined to boil over?
A small town, seaside adventure full of friendship, fun and laughter! For fans of Holly Martin, Polly Babbington and Heidi Swain.
Surprises in Seabury is the sixth novella in the Seabury series - and the final part of Hattie's story.
About the author
Beth Rain has always wanted to be a writer and has been penning adventures for characters ever since she learned to stare into the middle-distance and daydream.
She has recently moved to a windswept, Scottish island, and it is a dream come true to spend her days hanging out with Bob – her trusty laptop – scoffing crisps and chocolate while dreaming up swoony love stories for all her imaginary friends.
Head to Seabury if you fancy dipping your toes in the waves, Little Bamton the place for some quintessential English village action, take a trip down the river to Upper Bamton if standalones involving a spot of wine and wool are your thing, or you could always hop on a flight or ferry to Crumcarey to join the author in the Scottish Isles!
Beth’s writing will always deliver on the happy-ever-afters, so if you need cosy… you’re in safe hands!
