A sweeping family drama of old secrets and new beginnings…

‘A satisfying treat’ Adele Parks, Platinum

‘A compelling family drama’ Sarah Morgan

‘Wise and warm with plenty of twists and turns’ Rachel Hore

‘Emotional and uplifting’ Veronica Henry

‘Captivating and vivid’ Miranda Dickinson

Even happy families have their secrets…

Anchor House is the coastal home where Naomi and her husband raised their two girls. Now widowed, Naomi is building a new life alone, but the arrival of Ellis next door is bringing some long-awaited fun back too.

Naomi’s daughters are very different: Martha is determined and driven like her father, while Willow is a free spirit. The three women have always been close, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have secrets of their own. There are things Naomi has kept from her girls, like the fact that her marriage to their father wasn’t quite what it seemed…

The Sunday Times bestselling author Erica James returns with this gloriously compelling tale of mothers and daughters, secrets and love.
