Secrets and Sunsets in Azure Bay
(2022)(The sixth book in the Return to Cornwall series)
A novel by Laura Briggs
Spring winds bring old friends and new discoveries to Julianne’s sleepy village in the sixth installment of the feel-good Cornish series.
Back from globetrotting in South America, Percy the earl is adventurous as ever when he pays a surprise visit to Ceffylgwyn. Also back in the village’s midst—in this case to oversee another groundbreaking archaeological find—is Percy’s ex-fiancee, the eminent Dr. Elaine Pierce-Bishop. Coincidence? Julianne doesn’t think so, but she resists prying, especially after Percy enlists her aid with a far more delicate issue: a mystery surrounding Elaine’s new intern, a bright young student named Cecily whose aspirations hinge on the secrets of her own family background. With a historical legacy at stake and Cecily’s reputation on the line, it’s obvious that Percy means to do all that he can to help uncover the truth—and the fact he’s doing it for Elaine’s sake as well couldn’t be more obvious, despite their failed wedding of the past.
But turning sleuth for Percy’s quest isn’t the only thing on Julianne’s plate: she and Kitty have taken on bookworm and brief acquaintance Paula as a trial secretary for Save the Date, even though her skills may not be quite suited for the event planning world. Plus, there’s a wedding to plan, and among its bridesmaids is none other than Kimmie, the television celebrity who stole the heart of manor house chef Michael during the bake off. When it becomes clear that Kimmie is still pining for him despite her own engagement, though, Julianne struggles to find the right words of advice for their romantic dilemma.
Will Kimmie find the courage to tell Michael how she feels—and is it too late for them even if she does? What about Percy’s attempts to solve a mystery that reaches decades into the past? And will Julianne regret entrusting uni student
Paula with her business’ phone and filing system while she balances the usual chaos of life?
Filled with romance, intrigue, and laughter, this latest addition of the series delivers a bouquet of spring surprises for Julianne and her friends at Cliffs House.
Genre: General Fiction
