Fifteen years ago, Felicity Kerr threw caution to the wind and kissed her colleague Ryan Sullivan under the ancient wishing tree along the coast. When Ryan failed to respond to her kiss, Felicity was mortified that she had read his signals horrendously wrong and she left Lemmon Cove for good.

But now Felicity’s job brings her back to her home town, and face to face with Ryan who is leading a band of octogenarians rallying to save their beloved 300-year-old sycamore from being bulldozed by property developers.

The spark with Ryan is still there, but Felicity is guarding a secret and as much as she wants to join the protest by his side, she can’t help but hold back. Will Felicity be able to mend her broken heart and find happiness with Ryan beside the sea?

If you believe in fairy tales and adore stories that feature love with a capital L then Admans’ rom-com should be on your must-read list this holiday season. All those favourite ingredients – lost love, drama, comedy, fun and friendship – come sprinkled with the stardust of a magical tree which might just make all your wishes come true!
