Summary

'Dreamy and irresistible!' JILL MANSELL

'A summery tale. I loved it!' SARAH MORGAN

'What an amazing book!' MILLY JOHNSON

Nikki has kept her secret safe for twenty years.
Now the tide's about to turn...

Nikki finally owns the little coastguard cottage of her dreams - and it's a few steps away from the hidden beach that means so much to her.

But when a handwritten note lands on her doorstep, she realises it's only a matter of time before the heartbreaking truth of her past is uncovered.

Twenty years ago, her whole world was turned upside-down when a terrible storm rolled into the small seaside town of Speedwell.

Ever since that night, Nikki has been keeping a secret. One she knows has the potential to destroy the lives of those she loves most.

Because as sure as the tide turns, there are no secrets in a small town...

Outstanding story and narration

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Veronica Henry never disappoints and this will be a story I listen to over and over. Congratulations to the narrator who brought the book to life and read the story with such tenderness. It really was excellent.

Riveting read!

Loved the relationships between the characters. The focus on family values and community was wonderful. Last but not least
the suspense was incredible! I had to stop myself from wanting to read the ending because I didn’t know if I would have the patience to wait! Apart from Woody’s voice, the narration was excellent!

The characters. All believable and likeable.

Give up the past. Enjoy it-but it’s gone. Do not regret. The future is all that is important and is what we have.

Sublime storytelling

As usual sublime storytelling from this author. The characters and the plot were believable and I felt drawn in from the beginning and that I wanted to invest my time in them.

The story was told over 20 years

Lovely writing and performing styles. Mistakes don’t have to define us forever - a comforting story.
