Publisher's Synopsis
When heartbroken Paige inherits an isolated cottage from her great-aunt Violet, she is shocked. Paige never even met Violet, and she's heard family stories about how a terrible incident involving the wealthy neighbouring Hathaway family during World War Two led Violet to withdraw from everyone. Determined to clear out the cottage and sell it as quickly as possible, when Paige bumps into Seth Hathaway as he walks back from the beach, at first, she's guarded. But Seth's easy smile makes her think that maybe the Hathaways can be trusted after all. Then Paige finds an old envelope containing her aunt's only piece of jewellery. The romantic message inscribed inside brings tears to her eyes, and Seth shows her how the initials match those carved with a heart into an ancient beech tree on her aunt's property. Did Violet live her whole life yearning for the person who gave her the locket?
