Coming Home to Brightwater Bay

By: Holly Hepburn

Narrated by: Karen Cass

'Joyous – a treat of a tale that whisks your heart away to the beautiful shores of Orkney. Prepare to fall in love with this fantastic series!' MIRANDA DICKINSON

On paper, Merina Wilde has it all: a successful career writing the kind of romantic novels that make even the hardest hearts swoon, a perfect carousel of book launches and parties to keep her social life buzzing, and a childhood sweetheart who thinks she’s a goddess. But Merry has a secret: the magic has stopped flowing from her fingers. Try as she might, she can’t summon up the sparkle that makes her stories shine. And as her deadline whooshes by, her personal life falls apart too. Alex tells her he wants something other than the future she’d always imagined for them and Merry finds herself single for the first time since – well, ever.

Desperate to get her life back on track, Merry leaves London and escapes to the windswept Orkney Islands, locking herself away in a secluded clifftop cottage to try to heal her heart and rediscover her passion for writing. But can the beauty of the islands and the kindness of strangers help Merry to fool herself into believing in love again, if only long enough to finish her book? Or is it time for her to give up the career she’s always adored and find something new to set her soul alight?

​The brand new series from Holly Hepburn, first published as four ebook parts: BROKEN HEARTS AT BRIGHTWATER BAY, SEA BREEZES AT BRIGHTWATER BAY, DANGEROUS TIDES AT BRIGHTWATER BAY and SUNSET OVER BRIGHTWATER BAY

Critic reviews

"Joyous - a treat of a tale that whisks your heart away to the beautiful shores of Orkney. Prepare to fall in love with this fantastic series!" (Miranda Dickinson)

Such a beautiful story!!

This was my firtst book by Holly Hepburn and I absolutely loved it. I found myself swept away immediately and couldn't help falling in love with the people and island. Can't wsit to read another of her books!

Lovely Story! Wonderful Setting!

I’ve listened to many of this author’s books and this one was by far my favorite. I loved the characters, the setting, and the enchanting story. The narrator is excellent.

Super fun read

What a wonderful story. The narrators are fantastic and I will be reading more from this author .

Quaint and captivating

Love the story on the setting. When I read a book, I look for entertainment and I like a story that has some depth, but is not emotionally ringing. I also read clean fiction. The story I met a regal and was so entertaining. I got through this story quicker than I do most, I just loved the narrator and the setting. The story could’ve had more characters and a bit more depth, but that only took one star from the story rating. Overall, I still think 4 1/2 star book.

Another gem of a love story

Karen Cass does an amazing job with multiple character voices. The story is strong and was a very quick read. The town pulls you in and it feels like you were there.
