'Stone Ruins and City Smoke is such a delight! It has laugh-out-loud humour, characters you will care about, an edge-of-your-seat ending, and it's set against the beautifully described Cornish coast! Can't wait for Charlie's next one . . . Highly recommended'
Mandy James

'A love story with a huge heart and a great dollop of Cornwall . . . Perfect'
Liz Fenwick

Recovering agoraphobic, Tom Maynard, runs a converted Cornish tin mine in Sennen Cove as a rural retreat for the rich and famous. Melanie Taylor runs a successful London hotel, and wants to buy shares in the property he developed in his late wife's memory, but he refuses her offer.

Sensing a connection between the pair, his daughter, Amy, sets them up on a blind date. But while together in London, during a storm, Amy goes missing. As they battle the elements to save her, they must decide if the distance between them is also worth fighting.
