Having inherited The Starfish Cafe from her mother, Hollie has tried to keep all of her traditions alive. The story starts on bonfire night, the night that the Christmas tree and decorations are put up in the cafe. At work Hollie puts on a smiley face, but in private, following the deaths of her mother, father and brother, and the breaking up of her engagement, she is lonely and unhappy.
Jake also has many tragedies in his past and tries not to get too close to people and never talks about what has happened.
On bonfire night, whilst on the beach trying to take photographs of the fireworks, Jake finds a lost and very frightened dog. He manages to catch the dog and knocks on the door of The Starfish Cafe to seek help.
There is an attraction between Hollie and Jake, but neither of them are used to letting people close to them and initially they both agree not to share the stories of their pasts.
