Sunshine and Secrets

Welcome to The Paradise Cookery School – where dreams (and chocolate) are made…

Newly heartbroken chef Millie Harper isn't looking for a fresh start - but when she's offered the chance to oversee the launch of The Paradise Cookery School, she can't refuse. Leaving her old life behind, she heads to a stunning villa set high on a cocoa plantation in sun-soaked St Lucia.

But paradise isn't quite as simple as it seems. With the opening fast approaching, Millie faces an uphill battle to get the school ready in time - and the sharp-tongued (if undeniably handsome) estate manager, Zach Barker, isn't making things any easier.

As Millie begins to embrace the laid-back rhythm of island life, she rediscovers a more carefree version of herself. Yet with temptation, sunshine, and sparks flying, she must decide what really matters.

Can Millie pull off the launch she's promised - or will paradise lead her somewhere she never expected?

A warm, uplifting romance perfect for fans of Jill Mansell and Sandy Barker.
