      Annie Sharpe has it all - an acclaimed restaurant she owns with her handsome husband Max, and two gorgeous grown-up sons. But after one indiscretion too many, she leaves behind the only life she's ever known. In search of a fresh start, Annie takes up a position as a caretaker of Saltwater Nook, a creaky but charming beach house on Kent's beautiful, wild coastline. The village community is an eccentric but tightknit bunch, and Annie is swept up in a whirlwind of their traditional festive celebrations, from pumpkin carving to bonfires on the beach. It soon feels like home - she even reopens the long-dormant seafront café. The only thorns in her side are John, the owner's rugged but totally unreasonable nephew who has his own agenda for the house, and a persistent Max, intent on winning her back. Salwater Nook has been the perfect escape, but Annie can't run from her problems forever. Will she give her first love a second chance? Or step into the promise of a new life?
