Tressa Buckland lives a quiet life in the seaside village of Port Lowdy, working for a local paper and painting in her spare time — with only her cat Ginger Pickles for company. When the owner of the paper leaves suddenly, Tressa is left in charge for six months and must hire a part-time journalist.
Dan Byrne, a disgruntled Irish columnist who loses his job in Dublin, moves to Cornwall with his golden retriever, Ritchie, to start fresh.
 
As Dan and Tressa work together, their very different worlds begin to collide — and a warm, unexpected romance begins in this sleepy village.
