What you need to know before your trail
Nina has always dreamed of being a star, unfortunately her agent thinks she’s more best friend than leading lady. Unsurprisingly, her career isn’t quite going as planned and the work seems to have temporarily dried up… But the bright lights of showbiz have always called for Nina and she won’t be giving up that easily – even if the reality of it is actually bit-parts and the small bedroom in her friend’s London flat.
But the next drama is never far away and after a series of very public blunders Nina is soon donning dark shades and a different hair colour – fleeing from the suddenly interested paparazzi. Although she was planning to lay low in Devon with her brother, Nina won’t be taking it easy — fate has very different plans.
An old pal is desperately in need of some assistance setting up his holiday home business. Always one to help a friend, Nina decides to stay at beautiful Brightside Cove – where new characters, inspiration and possibly love are waiting for her…

Brightside Cove – Devon
Sadly fictional but it sounds lovely!
“We were right on the cliff tops overlooking a rocky bay. Fra below s was a crescent of golden sand an a cluster of youthful figures were racing towards the waves with surfboards under their arms. To the left a patchwork of fields edged with purpley gorse led away to a headland disappearing out into the sea, and down far away to the right was a harbour dotted with boats marooned by the tide and beyond that, a slipway and what looked like a pub, a couple of shops and a row of sherbet-coloured cottages.”
Whilst this might be a fictional place, there are a few places in Devon you can imagine are Brightside Cove:
There is a place called Hope Cove in South Devon (AOMB) near near Salcombe. There are two beaches here; Mouthwell and Harbour Beach.
