Publisher's Synopsis
For the past twenty-seven years, Kayla Grayson's mother has refused to discuss Kayla's absent father or explain why the two of them have been alone in the world without relatives. A mysterious email sends Kayla to a Maryland beach town and her grandmother's home, Seacliff House. There, Kayla hopes to discover who she is and why her past has been shrouded in mystery. When Tanner Bishop discovers an old diary among his grandfather's possessions, his interest is piqued. Some of the entries speak of Pearl, a young woman who abandoned her son and fled Maine for Maryland in 1958. The journalist in Tanner wants to know what became of Pearl once she found her way to Seacliff House. But as the woman's great-grandson, he needs to know. Kayla quickly learns the whereabouts of her father and meets her formidable grandmother, while Tanner investigates his own connection to Seacliff House. Through a mutual interest in searching out their roots, romance blossoms. But events that cannot be stopped are quickly set in motion, including murder and a ghost sighting, to reveal secrets of the past that threaten the couple's hopeful future.
