Paper Hearts And Summer Kisses

When Paper Dreams Take Flight

In Paper Hearts And Summer Kisses, Carole Matthews invites readers to the charming coastal town of Saltwick Bay, where every postcard holds a promise and every seaside breeze carries the scent of new beginnings. Tea shop owner Daisy Hawthorne spends her days crafting delicate origami hearts for her bestselling greeting cards, dreaming of the perfect romance she has yet to experience. But when a mysterious bundle of unsent love letters washes ashore, addressed in a familiar handwriting, Daisy finds herself swept into a heartfelt quest to reunite the lost author with their long-ago beloved. Along winding promenades and pastel-hued beach huts, she rediscovers the magic of heartfelt confessions and the power of vulnerability.

Sparks in the Sunlit Streets

As Daisy delves into the story behind the washed-up correspondence, she enlists the help of Finn Gallagher, the brooding owner of the local bookshop whose own past is as tattered as the pages he sells. Together, they trace the letters back to a hidden romance that blossomed in the summer of 1985—a love that was never meant to be. Between impromptu poetry readings, sunset bike rides along the pier, and laughter-filled picnics on the cliffs, Daisy and Finn find their own walls beginning to crumble. But as truths emerge and long-buried regrets resurface, they must decide whether to cling to the safety of solitary hearts or to risk everything on a chance at love.
