About this ebook
A sweeping and emotional story of love, loss and family, from No. 1 bestselling author Louise Douglas.
One freezing night in January, Olivia Felicone's life is shattered when she learns her husband, Luca, has been killed in a car accident on the M1.
Desperate to escape her overwhelming grief, and with nothing else to lose, she returns north-east to the seaside town of Watersford, the place where they grew up together – and where Luca has been laid to rest.
A chance meeting with Luca’s married twin brother, Marc, leads Olivia to the realization that he is experiencing a loss as painful as her own and that, perhaps, she doesn’t need to be alone. But as they grow closer, Marc begins to fill the space where Luca should be - and their relationship may lead to explosive consequences . . .
