id="u2fe038f3-a6cf-504d-b5dd-5b3fb22cdffd">
There’s no place like home…
Enough is enough! The always perfect Amanda Chapman had jumped in her car and raced as fast as she could from London heading to Sunset Bay and (she hopes!) the open arms of her estranged sister…
Mia Chapman loves running Dolly’s Diner in the picture-perfect coastal Cornish town of Sunset Bay. Now that her and Grandma Dolly’s dream is finally a reality Mia has never been prouder! Until Amanda suddenly turns up on her doorstep… How can she forgive the sister who walked away?
Once upon a time Mia and Amanda were best friends. Back together after so long, the time has come for the sisters to figure out what went so wrong all those years ago – and whether they can ever put it right!

REBECCA PUGH grew up in the green county of Shropshire, with a mind full of fairy tales and happy endings. Enchanted by true love and Disney princesses, she decided that no matter what life threw her way, she’d continue to see the world through a child’s eyes. Through the pages of countless books, her adoration of reading blossomed, and it didn’t take long for her to fall under the spell of hundreds of authors’ words.
Now, Rebecca’s own story has taken a fairy-tale-like turn and, at 22, her dream has come true. With her faithful companions Bonnie the dog, her partner, and her gigantic family by her side, Rebecca is ready to share her stories with readers who enjoy falling in love and losing themselves within beautiful, fictional worlds.
Rebecca Pugh is the author of women’s fiction and romance, her all-time favourite genres. After all, who doesn’t enjoy a good swoon? A Home in Sunset Bay is her second novel.
It’s hard to believe that I’m writing the acknowledgments for my second novel. First of all, I’d like to say a massive thank you to my wonderful editor, Victoria Oundjian. As always, she has remained my voice of reason throughout this journey, and been a superb help not only in regards to my writing, but to my self-belief too. She really is the best editor in the world. I’d also like to say thank you to my partner Mr W, for providing me with an endless supply of coffee, kisses, love and courage. My companion Bonnie the dog, who keeps me company during the creation of my stories. My fantastic family and friends who continue to support me. My incredible Mum who deserves a mention in everything I do. I can’t forget the enthusiasm of the book-blogging community on Twitter. They are a wonderful group of people who I find it a joy to be around. And just everyone who has shown support and encouragement. You are magical, and I feel very lucky to know you all. And last but by no means least, my publisher Carina UK. If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t be writing the acknowledgments for my second novel right now. Thank you so much.
