The Last Train to Penparc
When a level-headed railway timetable editor returns to her coastal hometown to help rescue a failing community station, she finds herself working alongside the man she once nearly kissed and then spent ten years avoiding. Between public meetings, rain-soaked platforms and a stubbornly cheerful campaign to save the last evening service, old feelings begin making themselves inconveniently known.
