A haunting story of yearning, love and betrayal from the best-selling author of Thornwood House.

Lucy Briar has arrived home in turmoil after years overseas. She's met her fiancé in London and has her life mapped out, but something is holding her back.

Hoping to ground herself and find answers, Lucy settles into once familiar routines. But old tortured feelings flood Lucy's existence when her beloved father, Ron, is hospitalised and Morgan - the man who drove her away all those years ago - seeks her out.

Worse, Ron implores Lucy to visit Bitterwood Estate, the crumbling historic family guesthouse now left to him. He needs Lucy to find something - an old photograph album, the very thing that drove Ron and his father apart.

Lucy has her own painful memories of Bitterwood, darkness that has plagued her dreams since she was young. But as Lucy searches for the album, the house begins to give up its ghosts and she is driven to put them to rest.

And there, held tightly between the house, the orchard and the soaring cliffs, Lucy uncovers a long-hidden secret that shattered a family's bond and kept a frightened young girl in its thrall...and Lucy discovers just how fierce the lonely heart can be.

Anna Romer has become one of my favorite writers with her twist of mystery, romance and history. Hannah Noris is a wonderful nattator. I can only hope this team continues to produce more books.

Aside from everything else in the book, which haunting and suspenseful and very interesting, there is a romance between the main character and a man much older than herself. While age differences generally do not bother me, there was a bit of a creepy factor to the detail that she grew up from childhood with this much older man in her life, and he “loved” her before she had “grown up”. While there was no romance prior to her being an adult, that part of the story detracted from the experience for me. From her side I understand having feelings for an older male figure in your life, though the fact that he is friends with your dad and the father of one of your best friends should perhaps give pause. It was his interest and waiting and passion about having loved her for so long that was creepy.

Creepy love story
