Standing on the cliff above the wild Irish sea, Hannah wipes a tear from her eye and thinks about the man she called 'Da'. She was never his daughter. Hannah has been lied to her whole life by everyone she loved. Will she ever find where she truly belongs?
When warm-hearted Hannah Barry's father passes away, her life is turned upside down when she discovers he wasn't her biological father, and the only family she's ever known are not related to her at all. Now their tiny farmhouse overlooking Roone Bay feels unfamiliar and cold. So when a handsome, dark-haired stranger turns up on her doorstep, his kind eyes and shy smile are a welcome escape.
Justin Sanders is searching for clues about his long-lost grandfather, whose last letter home came addressed from the area. Justin is certain Hannah's own grandfather is connected to the story somehow, and that the men knew each other years ago. Hannah can't help but be drawn to Justin and his mystery - they both have a painful past to solve. Will helping Justin lead to the answers about her real family that she desperately longs for?
But Hannah is shocked when nobody in the village will speak of Justin's grandad. What secret could be so terrible that a whole community turns their back?
Justin's caring nature makes Hannah feel so safe, and she can't ignore the way he makes her stomach flip. But when they discover the truth about the events of a tragic evening decades ago, it threatens to tear them apart for good... Can Hannah and Justin find a way to forgive and move forward together? Or will Hannah lose the only real love she's ever known for good?
Get ready to be swept away to Ireland's rugged southern coast by this totally emotional and unputdownable tale filled with devastating family secrets. Fans of Susanne O'Leary, Tricia O'Malley and Kathleen McGurl will adore it.
