When the father of British writer Peter Cross dies, a devastating family secret is revealed that puts Peter at odds with his two brothers. He’s also executor of his father’s Will and the stress of everything makes him want to get right away.
He decides to take a train up to the Fylde coast and checks into a guest house in Lytham.
And that’s where his real troubles begin.

On his first day there he meets Vicky, the owner of the guest house, and her son Cameron. He’s a grown man but what is it about him that she knows that he doesn’t know himself? And when bisexual Peter and gay Cameron get together, why does she see it as something so bittersweet?
Vicky is also having to deal with her physically abusive boyfriend Stan and in that she is helped by her group of friends., headed by her best friend Julia who has all the money in the world but nobody to share it with. Then there’s Clarissa whose multi-millionaire and much older husband doesn’t know quite how fond she is of paying workmen in kind. Holly, who wants to publish the novel she’s written but is constantly put down by her controlling husband, and Lucia who has everything except the children that she craves. But is her marriage as solid as she thinks?
There’s also Brad, a wildlife photographer who carries a torch for Vicky but also a secret that connects him to someone they all know. And he’s someone they all grow to detest.

Love and happiness intertwine with loss and tragedy and Peter gets caught right in the middle. He does find something of the peace he was looking for. But not how he expected to find it. And how will his time at the guest house end up defining the rest of his life?
