2026: Will her best love story be the one she didn’t plan to write?
2026: Will her best love story be the one she didn’t plan to write?
Five years ago, Isabella Fox shared three unforgettable days with a stranger. The plan was to arrange to meet again but when weeks passed and she heard nothing from him, she was left heartbroken. Disappointed, she poured all her energy into writing timeslip romances.
Now a bestselling romance author writing as Bella Fox, she no longer believes in love . . . or Christmas. After a painful breakup and a crippling case of writer’s block, Bella escapes to the cosy Cornish village of Polcarrow, hoping the sea air will help her write again. Instead, she finds twinkling lights, festive traditions, a haunted pub . . . and Aidan, the man she never forgot.
As winter closes in and inspiration begins to stir, old sparks reignite and long-buried truths come to light. But with past heartbreaks, difficult choices, and Christmas fast approaching, Bella must decide whether to return to the life she left behind – or finally believe in second chances.
Polcarrow (fictional)
Sadly, Polcarrow is fictional but there are more than a few places it could be modelled on or inspired by. Incidentally, there is a place called Poltarrow Farm Holidays which is similar in name and close to St Austell. You could have great fun trying to find your own Hideway in this lovely part of the world.
Polgoth and St Austell are just two places it seems to have been inspired by. Such a lovely part of the world for your own hideaway!
