TEN YEARS. TWO LOVES. ONE LAST CHANCE.

'Santopolo is a true master of matters of the heart’ Taylor Jenkins Reid

'Unsurprisingly, I am emotionally unwell!' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The Light We Lost broke my heart, The Love We Found mended it' Paige Toon

'This book wrecked me in the best way possible' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Fate broke her heart …

It’s been ten years since Lucy Carter Maxwell lost her soulmate. Having hidden from love ever since, she’s stunned to find it pulling at her when she discovers a forgotten box of Gabe’s photographs and begins to unravel the secrets he left behind.

... Can new love set her free?

The photos lead Lucy to Italy and into the path of Dr Dax Armstrong. The pain in his sad, intense eyes matches Lucy’s own – his touch reignites her in a way no one has since Gabe.

But with an earth-shattering secret waiting in the shadows, can Lucy ever embrace love, if she doesn’t embrace the truth?

A devastating love story about fate, and the enduring power of love. Perfect for fans of David Nicholls, Paige Toon and Claire Daverley.
