Henry's next book, "The Secret Beach," is inspired by a hidden cove near where she lives. The book tells the story of Nikki, a woman who used to meet the love of her life in this hidden cove, away from prying eyes. Years later, an anonymous note arrives on her doorstep, revealing that someone saw them. The book explores themes of forbidden love, family loyalty, and sisterhood, all set against the backdrop of a small town in Cornwall.
