Polly Turner & Peter Hayes

Polly never expected her life to change in a single moment. A primary school teacher living a quiet, careful life in Cornwall, she had long since learned to keep her heart guarded. But all it took was one unexpected encounter... and one simple apology.

Peter Hayes is everything she's not-confident, powerful, and the CEO of a major company based in Manchester. He doesn't belong in Cornwall, and yet somehow, that's exactly where their paths collide. What starts as a fleeting moment quickly becomes something neither of them can ignore.

But why is Peter really in Cornwall? Is he just passing through, or is there more keeping him there than he's willing to admit? And when the time comes, will he stay... or will he return to the life waiting for him in Manchester?

For Polly, it feels like the beginning of something she hasn't allowed herself to hope for in a long time. But things that seem too good to be true often are. As emotions deepen and walls begin to fall, not everything-or everyone-wants to see them succeed.

Will their story remain a simple, love-struck escape? Or will outside forces threaten to tear everything apart before it truly begins?

In a story of chance, choice, and the risk of opening your heart again, one question remains:

Will they find the ending they deserve... or will one of them run before it's too late?
