'Has the Bella Osborne hallmark combination of wit, wonderful characters and meaningful conflicts ... a fantastic read' - SUE MOORCROFT

The brand-new summery rom com from Bella Osborne, full of laughter, love and life's twists and turns!

***An Invitation to Seashell Bay was originally published as a four-part serial. This is the complete story in one package.***

One ambitious businesswoman.

One irresponsible heir.

A deal that will turn both their lives upside down...

To grow her craft business, Nancy is in desperate need of two things: help and money. So when a potential investor she's looking to impress recommends an assistant, she jumps at the chance to secure both.

Freddy Astley-Davenport is a notorious playboy with zero work experience. He's poised to inherit his family's estate in sunny Seashell Bay - but only if he can hold down a job for six months first. His plan is to take the assistant role in name only, then do the least work he possibly can.

Nancy has other ideas, though, and the pair butt heads from day one. However, as they argue, sparks begin to fly, and they soon discover exactly why opposites attract...

An absolutely escapist, funny, feel-good summer romance. Fans of Cathy Bramley, Katie Fforde and Milly Johnson will adore Bella Osborne.
