About this ebook

'She smelt the sharp green scent of new growth, and the heavy sweetness of decay. The smell of Eden. Tomorrow it would be nothing more than a memory...'

Sophie Monroe has never been good at behaving as she should.

Too outspoken and independent, she's always defied convention. But when she returns to Jamaica in the summer of 1903, she finds Eden - the plantation where her sister Madeleine has built a seemingly perfect life - on the brink of ruin.

The house at Fever Hill is falling into disrepair, Madeleine is hiding a secret and Ben Kelly - Sophie's childhood hero - is determined to keep his distance.

As Sophie begins to ask questions, she finds herself caught between family loyalty and the rigid prejudices of colonial society. But the more she uncovers, the more she realises that nothing at Eden is quite what it seems.

For beneath the surface lies a history of betrayal and loss, and before long Sophie must confront the ghosts of her own past...
