As the sun sits high in the sky over Cornwall, and the sea breeze brings a welcome relief to the residents of the seaside village of Trevay, a stranger arrives in need of a safe haven.
The fact that the stranger is a Hollywood heartthrob makes villagers Penny and Dorrie even more keen to help.
They both know what it’s like to feel that you need a break from life, and they bring the village together to keep their stranger’s secret.
It’s not long before he’s helping some of the villagers find the answers to their own problems.

I really enjoyed this book. Everyone at some point feels how Richard Here does in it and just needs to getaway from everything & Cornwall is a beautiful place to do it. Funny and easy to read

This book started with great promise but I did lose interest in it after a while. I skipped to the end to see how it finished, and probably wouldn’t recommend to to a friend.

A lovely short novel about what happens when a Hollywood superstar just wants a bit of time out of the spotlight. It was charming and funny and made me laugh out loud. Don’t be misled by the cover, this is a perfect read for everyone!
