Anna's Promise: A Novel of Family Secrets and New Beginnings

By Pauline Tait

Voted a Waterstones Dundee Favourite Read of the Year, 2024

Struggling to come to terms with the loss of her mother, Anna sets out to uncover the truth about her family and her mother's hidden past.

A letter, a photograph and the Old Lodge lead her back to the Isle of Skye, the island she loved as a child and a place simmering with long-buried secrets.

As Anna begins to settle into island life, what she discovers leaves her increasingly unsettled. Hamish, handsome, quiet and guarded, seems unnerved by her presence, though she cannot understand why. Ben, a polished city visitor eager to help, offers friendship, yet Anna senses his arrival may be far from coincidence.

When a newly discovered family member steps into her life, Anna realises that not every truth brings comfort. Some answers draw closer, while others remain frustratingly out of reach, all pointing to things her mother left unsaid.

To move forward, Anna must decide who she can trust, what she is ready to leave behind and whether she can open her heart to a slow-burn romance as the past continues to surface.

The Maren Bay series is an emotionally compelling collection of romantic suspense novels where love, family and belonging are tested by hidden secrets, heartbreaking choices and the enduring hope of finding where we truly belong.
