Secrets at the Last House Before the Sea: A Gripping and Emotional Page-Turner

By Liz Eeles

Book Overview

From the attic of Driftwood House there are stunning views of the deep green sea and sapphire sky. But Rosie can't tear her eyes away from the faded photograph in her hands, and the words written on the back that will change everything...

Back in the village of Heaven's Cove after the death of her mother, all Rosie Merchant wants is to rent out her childhood home, and run away from the gossiping villagers and wild Devon weather she escaped years ago.

But local farmer Liam is waiting on the doorstep. His kind offer to help clear isolated Driftwood House is hard to refuse... and as clouds scud across the endless sky, Rosie is reminded that nowhere is more beautiful than home.

Then Rosie finds a photo in the attic which exposes the truth about how her mother came to live at Driftwood House years ago... Did Liam know this painful secret all along? Or will facing up to her family history mean Rosie can finally put down roots in this beautiful place?

This book can be enjoyed as a standalone.

Get whisked away to the rugged, sweeping Devon coastline in this gripping story about old secrets, learning how to trust, and finding where home is. Fans of Debbie Macomber, Barbara O'Neal and Mary Alice Monroe will adore this gorgeous and uplifting read.
