The Painter on Salcombe Hill

Widowed and adrift, Beatrice Hart leaves London behind for the quiet solace of the Devon coast, hoping to rediscover herself through painting and the sea. But when a sudden fall on a clifftop path leaves her shaken, and impossibly transported into the past, Beatrice finds herself in a Sidmouth she does not recognise, and in the company of the gifted, enigmatic painter James Faraday.

As the two artists work side by side, a tender bond grows between them, rooted in shared loss, creativity, and an unspoken understanding. Yet Beatrice carries a secret that could change everything: she does not belong to this time, and the pull of her own life has not released her.

Set against the sweeping beauty of the East Devon coast, this is a poignant tale of love, art, and the courage it takes to open your heart when time itself is against you. Perfect for readers who enjoy Regency romance, timeslip, and a later in life story.
