Lucy Diamond Beach cafe

The Beach Cafe is Lucy Diamond's classic bestseller, a story of new beginnings, love and adventure.

Evie Flynn has always been the black sheep of her family - a dreamer and a drifter, unlike her over-achieving elder sisters.

She's tried making a name for herself as an actress, a photographer and a singer, but nothing has ever worked out.

Now she's stuck in temp hell, with a sensible, pension-planning boyfriend.

Somehow life seems to be passing her by.

Then her beloved aunt Jo dies suddenly in a car crash, leaving Evie an unusual legacy - her precious beach cafe in Cornwall.

Determined to make a success of something for the first time in her life, Evie heads off to Cornwall to get the cafe and her life back on track - and gets more than she bargained for, both in work and in love .
