Chrissie loves Greyshore but her mother’s cafe has struggled for years. When her ex-boyfriend’s girlfriend asks her to host a Valentine’s speed dating she’s determined to reverse their fortunes but there’s another problem. The new tattoo parlour above her cafe only means trouble, as proved when the handsome tattoo artist destroys something close to her heart.

Lucas doesn’t call anywhere home. He searches for inspiration, working anywhere until he gets bored. He’s only passing through Greyshore but a gorgeous barista catches his eye and imagination in a way nobody has before. Even after a disastrous first meeting, he can’t stay away from Chrissie and her quiet passion.

Tensions run high as deceptions are revealed and Valentine’s nears, but will Chrissie and Lucas realise they’ve found something special together? Or will it be another lonely grey Valentine’s for both?

Comes with a short discussion guide designed for book groups.
