A sea change

At Everdene, setting for THE BEACH HUT, two people meet, both with secrets to hide . . . Written specially for the World Book Day Quick Reads promotionJenna is known as The Ice Cream Girl.

She doesn't mind the name one bit. After all, it's a happy name, and there are far worse jobs than selling ice creams on Everdene beach.

As a policeman, it is a restful change from his daily life, and he's surfing mad.

One weekend he's down there on his own when he notices a girl on the beach. He's young, free and single and she catches his eye. But on this particular summer weekend, both Jenna and Craig's lives are about to change . . .
