From her beautiful clifftop house overlooking the dramatic Yorkshire coast, Heather's life couldn't be more blissful.
Married to a respected High Court Judge, she escaped her dysfunctional parents and found the security and comfort she never thought possible. But beneath the idyllic facade lies a suffocating web of control and emotional oppression.
Finding solace within her beloved garden, Heather buries herself among her plants and vegetables, hiding from the wounds of a troubled childhood, the guilt and shame that she carries and her worthiness as a wife, and a woman.
From secret coves to harbour life, the coastal storms mirror the tempest brewing in Heather's heart. Will she find the fortitude to set sail toward her true destiny, or will fear anchor her to a life that is slowly drowning her soul? This is a story of forbidden attraction, hard-won courage and the liberating power of true love.
Trigger warning: This book contains themes of narcissistic control: physical, emotional, sexual (non-explicit), and psychological manipulation.
