Publisher's Synopsis
Thirty-one-year-old Clara's family have called their cosy cottage in the grounds of Brellasham Manor 'home' her whole life. And when River, the owner's son, returns after sixteen years away, at first Clara is wary. They shared their first kiss as teenagers before River moved halfway around the world, and his soulful brown eyes look just the same. Clara's first heartache isn't the only memory overshadowing the manor. More than fifty years ago, Audrey Brellasham lived here as a young bride and filled the house with love, laughter and dancing. Until one night, she walked into the stormy sea and was never seen again. When Clara finds Audrey's old leather-bound diary tucked away, she's certain that deciphering the coded messages inside will reveal the secret truth about this mysterious woman.
