Synopsis

Fiona Clutterbuck thinks she's got it all when she finally becomes Mrs Brian Goodchild, marrying weeks before her 30th birthday. But when he abandons her at the altar, she does the only thing she knows how to do, run away. Crashing the honeymoon camper van, she finds herself in the middle of nowhere on the west coast of Ireland with only the clothes she's stood up in. So, if she's not Mrs Brian Goodchild anymore, who is she? One thing she does know, she can't go home. What Fi wants is to hide away, and where better? She takes a job on an oyster farm despite being terrified of water and her new boss, the wild and unpredictable Sean Thornton and his oyster broker partner Nancy Dubois. There, she battles oyster pirates, pearl queens and circling sharks before finally coming out of her shell and finding love amongst the oyster beds of Galway Bay.

Author Bio
The idea for this book came from living in Connemara for three years. It's a wild and rugged and beautiful place and I became a complete convert of the glorious seafood from Galway Bay. In the course of writing this book I went oyster farming with a dear friend of mine in the middle of January. It was cold and very, very wet. As soon as the water sloshed over the tops of our wellies and trickled down the insides we were knew we were doomed to be cold and wet. But the location was glorious and they were the best oysters I have ever tasted. It was like I'd dropped off the edge of the world and left the stresses and strain of real life behind on the dry land.
