Editorial Director Vicky Blunden has acquired World English Language rights to a fourth book in Nicola May’s Seahaven Bay rom-com series and three previously published standalones, from Lorella Belli of the Lorella Belli Literary Agency Ltd.
With a similar charm, humour and emotion to the million-copy bestselling Cockleberry Bay series, the Seahaven Bay series explores love, loss, and second chances in a seaside village full of heart. This fourth book in the series, Two Weddings and a Funeral in Seahaven Bay, will publish in July 2027 with the re-releases of The School Gates, Love Me Tinder and Escape to Futtingbrook Farm publishing in ebook and print in the spring.
May says,
“Seahaven Bay has room for so many stories, so I’m delighted to be returning with Storm for a fourth novel in the series. I’m also thrilled to be re-releasing three of my bestselling books and introducing them to a whole new readership.”
Blunden says,
“Nicola has firmly established Seahaven Bay as a place readers want to keep coming back to, and it’s a joy to see the world of the novels expanding and her characters continuing their adventures in each unmissable new book. It’s an absolute pleasure working with Nicola and we’re delighted to be expanding the audience for her hilarious and emotional rom-coms too – we can’t wait to get these into the hands of a host of new fans.”
Nicola May is the international bestselling author of twenty-two romantic comedies, which have been translated into fifteen languages worldwide and have all appeared in the Kindle bestseller charts. The Corner Shop in Cockleberry Bay became the bestselling fiction ebook in the UK across all genres in 2019 and was Amazon’s second-bestselling fiction ebook in the same year.
