Dear Caitlin. Welcome to your island home. I just have one last request for you...
Caitlin used to adore visiting Aunt Lydia at her Dune Island cottage with its quaint adjoining windmill. But even though Caitlin promised her aunt she'd return and see the island once the leaves turned golden in the fall, a life-changing encounter with a guest one season meant Caitlin fled the island and never came back.
Now Aunt Lydia is gone, leaving Caitlin both her cottage, and a mysterious request: Caitlin must return to the island for the first time in years and renovate the windmill.
Despite her troubled memories, Caitlin's heart lifts when she strolls in the crisp autumn air before baking apple cinnamon muffins in Lydia's kitchen. And sparks even fly between her and handsome local carpenter Shane.
But the renovations uncover an old note tucked away in the windmill, handwritten by the same girl Caitlin met here years ago. The note contains a shocking revelation. Caitlin thought she understood all the reasons she left-but what if there's more to uncover?
Was this Aunt Lydia's plan all along? And does Caitlin have the courage to find the truth-or will she run from Dune Island as quickly as she arrived?
An absolutely stunning page-turner that will whisk you away to a cozy cottage by the sea. Perfect for fans of Debbie Macomber, Mary Alice Munroe, and Pamela Kelly.
