The Clockmaker’s Cottage (Puffin Island #6)

Pre-order the 6th instalment of the heartwarming Puffin Island series, from the bestselling author of Love Heart Lane

Can love begin before time runs out? Lifelong clock obsessive Pippa Bell never expected to flee her own wedding — or to end up stranded on Puffin Island in the middle of a soaking wet July. A last-minute competition win lands her at Clockmaker’s Cottage, once home to the legendary (and famously feuding) Vale brothers, whose timepieces shaped her childhood dreams.

Pippa’s plan for a quiet reset quickly unravels when she discovers she’s sharing the cottage with her old university nemesis, Professor Theo Blake. Things grow more complicated when Sebastian Worthington-Frost — charming, ambitious, and very much part of her past — arrives with secrets of his own.

As storms lash the island and long-buried secrets about the Vale brothers’ feud surface, Pippa must confront old rivalries, unfinished business, and the question of what she truly wants — before time runs out.
