The First Guests

Escape to the seaside with Part One of a brand-new four-part serial set on the Devon coast, from bestselling author Cathy Bramley.

Nina has always dreamed of being a star, unfortunately her agent thinks she's more best friend than leading lady. Unsurprisingly, her career isn't quite going as planned and the work seems to have temporarily dried up... But the bright lights of showbiz have always called for Nina and she won't be giving up that easily – even if the reality of it is actually bit-parts and the small bedroom in her friend's London flat.

But the next drama is never far away and after a series of very public blunders Nina is soon donning dark shades and a different hair colour - fleeing from the suddenly interested paparazzi. Although she was planning to lay low in Devon with her brother, Nina won't be taking it easy — fate has very different plans.

An old pal is desperately in need of some assistance setting up his holiday home business. Always one to help a friend, Nina decides to stay at beautiful Brightside Cove – where new characters, inspiration and possibly love are waiting for her...
