Pasties and Passion Under Penlowan Lighthouse by Margo Milburn

She fled 300 miles from a shattered marriage… and ran straight into her second chance.

When Maria catches her husband in a passionate kiss with the neighbor, she doesn’t hesitate. That same night, she packs her bags, rents a remote Cornish cottage over the phone, and drives to the ancient fishing village of Penlowan — nestled beneath the protective glow of the iconic lighthouse.

She came for peace. For a chance to paint again. What she found was so much more.

A haunted farmhouse with secrets rising from beneath the floorboards. A warm-hearted village brimming with hidden stories. And an unexpected reunion with Dan — her passionate university love, now a devastatingly handsome architect, skilled falconer, and master of cooking and fine wine.

The chemistry? Electric. The romance? Irresistible.

As Maria rebuilds her life through art, friendship, and sizzling second-chance love, she must confront the shadows of the past that threaten everything she holds dear. But in the rhythm of village life, surrounded by pasties, crashing waves, and the golden light of Penlowan Lighthouse, she finally finds her voice — and her forever home.

A powerful love story wrapped in mystery, resilience, and the healing magic of Cornwall.
