This is a well-paced story of life and hope after loss and despair.
George Morton was an ordinary man living an ordinary life-until everything was taken from him.
After his wife, Aimee, is killed by a drunk driver, George's grief is compounded when he is accused of stealing five million pounds in a devastating cybercrime. With his reputation destroyed and nothing left for him in England, George flees to a quiet village in northern Spain, buying an old farmhouse despite the concerns of his three children-Alex, Bonnie, and Christopher.
In the warmth of village life, George begins to rediscover himself through good food, world music, and unexpected friendships. He is drawn to Maria, a woman yearning for a new beginning of her own, and forced to contend with her fiercely protective father, Vincente. For the first time in years, hope seems possible.
But the past refuses to stay buried.
Oliver Barnes, the powerful CEO of Barnes & Barnes International Bankers, is convinced George has the missing money-and he is determined to reclaim it at any cost. As danger closes in and love offers a second chance, George must decide how far he is willing to go to protect the life he has rebuilt.
Set against the vibrant backdrop of northern Spain, this is a compelling story of loss, love, and redemption, building toward a dramatic climax on Columbus Day-when everything George has fought for is put to the ultimate test.
