Publisher's Synopsis
Alyssa carefully holds the delicate paper map and looks down at the cottages and winding streets of the village by the shore. She came to Heaven's Cove for a fresh start. But will the pathways on the map lead her to an old secret? Fleeing from a heartbreaking mistake, all former nurse Alyssa wants is to focus on her new job giving tours of Heaven's Cove to visitors and sharing the myths and legends of this beautiful place. Nobody needs to know the real reason she came to the village… Over cups of tea with elderly resident Magda she soon makes a friend who is alone in the world too. For decades, Magda has been secretly in love with her best friend Stan. Desperate to return Magda's kindness, Alyssa is eager to bring these two lost souls together. But meeting Stan's tall, handsome son Jack scuppers her plans. Dedicated to caring for Stan, Jack says Alyssa's focus on legends keeps the village in the past. But when Alyssa finds an old map revealing the true story of a Heaven's Cove couple who sacrificed everything for love, she's sure the romantic tale could bring Stan and Magda together… and although digging up old secrets soon ruffles feathers in the village, with Jack and Alyssa growing close, she can't help but think she might find happiness after all. But will Alyssa ever be able to open up about her own past? Or will the truth tear them apart?
