About the Book

Can you ever really leave the past behind? Australian author, Cathryn Hein returns with a heartfelt romance about loss and new beginnings.

A compelling rural romance, with a healthy sprinkling of suspense and family drama.

Jasmine Thomas should feel safe in her cosy cottage at Admella Beach after finally putting an end to an ill–advised romance. But her perfect sanctuary is shattered with the arrival of hand–delivered threatening notes. Someone has discovered her secret.

When the notes escalate to vandalism, Jasmine's anxiety rises. But in such a small place, telling the police would mean the whole town finding out.

Digby Wallace–Jones is stumbling through the motions of life, wrapped in a fog of grief since his fiancée Felicity died. Withdrawn from his family, Digby doesn't care about anything beyond his loss. But in a chance meeting with Jasmine, his sister's best friend who he's known forever, even he can see the tension she carries. Worried and feeling protective, he continues to drop by, but it's more than that. Jasmine soothes him; and, unlike the rest of his family, he can talk to her about his pain without fear of judgement. But as much as he likes Jasmine, Digby's enduring love for Felicity means he has nothing left to give and he pushes Jasmine away.

Jasmine knew they were supposed to stay friends 'with excellent benefits' but she can't help her wayward heart from falling for this tortured, kind and sexy man. How can she ever loosen the grip Felicity's memory has on Digby's soul and remind him he still has a life ahead of him?

Critical Praise

'Surprises, tender moments and drama in the mix made for an entertaining read.' — Talking Books (Netgalley)

'There's a powerful load of family drama, a lot of meditative contemplation and a little suspense as well, but what really lingers is Hein's beautifully wrought description of the languid, rural Australian landscape that stays long in my mind after I've finished the book. ' — Piper Kelly (Netgalley)

'A sweet summer read from an author who always delivers.' — Bree Testa (Netgalley)

"Cathryn Hein never fails to entertain with her stories about real life problems and characters that you will love from the very first page." — Marcia Bezuidenhout, NetGalley
