A BRAND NEW deliciously sweet, romantic read from Helen Rolfe, BESTSELLING AUTHOR of So This is Christmas

Some places never leave your heart…

When Larna returns to the wind-swept shores of Anchor Island after her father’s death, she has just one goal: honour his final wish and spend a year on the island she left behind. But coming home means facing Tess – the stepsister she hasn’t spoken to in over a decade.

Tess has worked hard to build the life she always wanted, balancing her family, her career and a marriage she thought she could rely on. As summer brings colour and life to the island, a community gardening project draws Tess and Larna back together. Working side by side, Larna begins to rediscover the joy she left behind, and old hurts slowly start to heal. But when long-buried secrets – and troubling questions much closer to home – come to light, everything they’ve rebuilt is at risk.

Can two women find a way back to each other before the past changes their future forever?

A warm-hearted and gripping story from bestselling author Helen Rolfe that will captivate fans of Lucy Diamond, Cathy Bramley and Jessica Redland.
