Sinopse

High on the clifftops, Lettie takes a deep breath of salty air and opens the letter. There is no signature, and the old-fashioned handwriting is faint against the yellowed paper. The message, and the tiny gold key inside, will turn her life upside down...Lettie Starcrossámakes her way along the cobbled streets ofáHeavenâÇÖs Cove, clutching a little key and searching for answers about her kind, twinkly-eyedáGreat Aunt Iris, whom she misses terribly. With no job back home, and no-one in her family understanding how adrift she feels, Lettie wonders if her aunt was lonely just like her - is that why she fled this pretty seaside village years ago and never returned?Staying at Driftwood House where Iris lived, now a cosy B&B, Lettie can almost hear IrisâÇÖs laughter on the breeze. And when she locks eyes with brooding fishermanáCoreyáas heâÇÖs singing a haunting sea shanty in the local tavern, the sparks that fly between them are a welcome distraction from her grief.But everything changes when Lettie meets CoreyâÇÖs grandmother. Hearing the name âÇÖIris StarcrossâÇÖ, her wrinkled face turns pale. Then she tells Lettie a devastating secret: seventy years ago, a choice Iris made tore apart this tight-knit community.Heartbroken, Lettie questions if she ever really understood her beloved aunt - and if Corey knew about this shocking rift all along. So when her sister calls begging her to come home, Lettie is torn. If she stays to find what the key unlocks, can she discover the truth about what Iris did - and fight for her own fresh start?áOr will she be the next Starcross woman to run from HeavenâÇÖs Cove forever?An absolutely gorgeous read that will whisk you away to the stunning Devon coast, about family secrets, long-lost love and coming home. Perfect for fans of Debbie Macomber, Rosanna Ley and Sheila OâÇÖFlanagan.Read what everyoneâÇÖs saying about Liz Eeles:âÇÖWow, wow, wow!!!! I absolutely loved this book!!!... I wasácaptivated...
