The Potter’s House by Hannah Ellis

Sometimes facing up to the past is the only way to create a better future…

Since the tragic death of his father, Lowen Treneary has kept to himself in his pottery studio on the remote island of Bryher.
His quiet life is just the way he likes it.
Until Pippa comes along.
The local café owner plunges his peaceful existence into chaos and brightens his days while she’s at it.
Soon, he has an employee livening up his workplace with her determination to make his studio more profitable… and a growing attraction to Pippa which he’s trying hard to ignore.
Just as he starts to warm to the idea of letting people into his life again, a crisis hits the island, causing old memories to crash to the surface.
Can the events of the present help to heal wounds from the past? And will Pippa still accept Lowen when she learns the secrets he’s been keeping from everyone around him?
