Welcome to Cressida McLaughlin's heartwarming The Canal Boat Cafe - step aboard! Summer Freeman, who runs the Canal Boat Café in the waterside village of Willowbeck, is having the time of her life. She's navigated the café out of some stormy waters and her best friend is helping her try out some new recipes. Summer and her neighbour Mason, as well as their dogs Pocket and Latte, are spending more and more time together and after a romantic evening in together (which her nosy friends won't stop interrupting), Summer is excited about where things are headed...until things run adrift. As seasons change and secrets are uncovered, Summer has to decide who she can trust, including Mason. Can she find love and make a new life for herself in Willowbeck? Or will she choose to keep her heart below deck?
