When a new feature on Pete Newbury's popular TV programme shows his adult image digitally transformed to that of a young child, Beth is shocked to realise that he's her baby brother, who vanished without a trace thirty-eight years ago.

But bringing their family back together after so much heartache isn't going to be easy, and she may lose the man she loves in the process. Beth's brother vanished at the age of three and her mother has grieved ever since. Her daughter ran away at the age of fifteen, and she hasn't heard from her since. Now she guards her heart very carefully and concentrates on her work.

Edward Newbury is a quiet, capable man, but hides a secret grief, and he isn't going to spend his life looking after his famous cousin Pete. Somehow he has to find a new meaning, a new direction for himself.
